yeah, I've been thinking seriously about getting a Linux/BSD distro. I just want to get a new HD first, because I want to keep all my Windows apps as well, and I have no room for a second OS.

As for your butterfly effect -- if you caused the end of the world, it'll take more than a couple days -- maybe a week or two, at least. So we at least have a little time to wrap things up before our day of reckoning comes along. See, there's a bright side to everything.

Believe me, if I could move away from this godforsaken state without any worries, I would. But here I have family, friends, gainful employment, etc., and it would so suck to leave it all behind.
