    You must be near the top of the Microsoft pyramid scheme. :laugh: Incidentally, the 15 minutes included installing MonoDevelop, correcting the code, and building and testing the applications, improving the applications(C# and C++), and installing the latest OpenCV libraries. And I didn't have to sign up for anything or anybody. I'm a salaried Nomad. I guess it all comes down to choices. How long does it take to install Visual Studio Ultimate? :-D

    $0 income last 2 years - spent doing whatever I want, though I've been using the time to write experimental software. 2 and a half minutes from ISO on hard drive.

      VS ultimate from an ISO via HDD 2-5 minute install. So you want me to believe that in the first 15 minutes of having a computer you are correcting code... It's one thing to talk about a computer being fast and another thing to make yourself seem super human, you just came off as a lair.

        I wasn't trolling, unlike some other people who's name I forget. I was simply trying to enlighten.

          Did you get the HDD drive free as well? Liar incidentally, not lair. And no, I do not lie, as you would find if you you stopped being a Microsofty and looked at the big, good world out there.

            Incidentally, I took an hour or two to build the system(80GB of Music from backup, that sort of thing). The 15 minutes was from when I decided to get my applications running on the new computer to having them running. No SSD, no lie. Oh, and while we're being completely honest, there is one fault with 14.04 on this PC; Broadcom doesn't supply the exact Linux driver for my BCM43142 dual wifi/bluetooth card, so the distro reverts to an alternative driver which really isn't very good. Still, 14.10 is out in two weeks; I've checked, it has updated BCM drivers, which *may* improve things. If not, they will get around to it eventually. I buy brand, spanking new hardware very rarely, so I'm in it for the long term anyway.

              When you come off as a lair you already lost credibility. In your second message you continue to alter your story backing up that you are a lair.

                    Guess that answers if I'm the only Greg Colborne. Gregory is a good name.
