Re: What computer/OS do you use?

It's the operating system that tells your computer what to do. I think most (if not all) PCs come with Windows and Macs with OS. Linux is free, and I understand it's easy to use and not very virus prone. One of the geeks here can explain it better than I can.

Yes please that would be good as i haven't a clue could I use this on my computer or does it all have to be changed as it sounds good if you don't have to worry quite so much about virus's etc
