Shownotes
Well, it is the season of giving so what is a respectable show about tech without an end of year shoppers gift ideas? Here is our attempt at a shoppers guide for Ubuntu lovers of all types. It is definitely not comprehensive, but, what do you from a couple of guys who are about to take a three week hiatus? You can find most of the links on Peters Blog. I honestly wish I had given more time to this podcast so that I could put up Amazon.com links but I didn't:( Perhaps next year I will make it easier for folks to buy a thing or two on the podcast. I'll keep this short and just say to all my listeners, thank you for making this a successful podcast that is getting stronger and stronger. I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As per your Vista experience
As per your Vista experience with a new laptop. 2 Gigs of memory is the sweet spot in Vista as 1 Gig was the sweet spot in XP. I am a computer tech so I see a lot of systems.
The main problem I see is users have too much crud in their start-up as well as running in the background. It's just plain ignorance!
The OS is not the fault any more than a car with the parking brake left on is the fault of slow performance. Whatever OS is your personal choice you need to take the time to learn how to use it. My humble opinion.

Hi Harlem / Peter!!!
I have a pretty good idea that I've developed over the past couple of months and wanted to share it with the Open Source legends like yourselves.
Now I found that there does not exist a portable gaming console that is for one handed/arm people. In other words, what if a PSP/DS-like system (perhaps running Linux instead, though not exactly on the subject of Ubuntu) was patented or created for people who have lost an arm.
The gaming industry, as it stands, while somewhat giving attention to the idea of impaired gamers (on Linux or otherwise), still has not brought into our world such a device.
It would boost profits for such companies and help the physically impaired into the vein of portable gaming.
Just a thought!
