@streakmachine It's a gui programme like the one BeOS had that was rarely used. I suppose it's like a smaller, more primitive version of the software centres you get in Linux distros. I'm not sure if you can download stuff from the command line though
@matigo Don't knock it, it's better than being whacked you with a bamboo stick and having 'speedo! speedo!' screamed at you.

@matigo It's interesting that the New Post page pre-populates the time stamp. I assume that if I spend thirty minutes typing out a masterpiece and press Publish without touching the time it'll show that I posted it half an hour before I actually did…
@streakmachine They made a big change recently. They introduced package management for installing apps from repositories rather than the old method of downloading binaries from websites and running them from whatever location you want.
Well, it looks like the Acer eRecovery thing will only do a factory restore which means wiping out Linux and Haiku in order to get a clean Windows install. Bollocks. I wanted to just wipe one partition. This is why new computers not coming with a full Windows retail disc is egregious. If I do the disk to VHD thing now the file is gonna be forty-one bloody gigabytes. I wonder how viable that is. I think it's the only reasonable option at the moment though.
