P.P.S. The number of condescending comments I get on postings like this, every time, is very large. If you are going to make a comment like this and are 20-something years old, don't even. In college I used to boot up my Linux machine with a big ascii Bob Dobbs every day.

It works on my machine fine. Literally nothing goes haywire. Maybe do not buy those weird laptops...
