It totally is! I've been reading more and more articles recently about how we all need to plan on learning new things our entire life to keep our synapses healthy, and that learning something new is much, much more valuable for our brains than simply doing crossword puzzles, for example. I'm still working on my Spanish lessons (audio and online) since there's a decent chance we may return to Mexico at some point, for awhile at least. And even if we don't, I know it's good for my brain, especially since I'm retired and no longer have the challenges of learning new things for work.

Glad you got your computer issue sorted out -- I remember your discussing it awhile back. I know nothing about Ubuntu or most of what you are talking about, though I did use plain old unix back in my job as a software engineer and enjoyed its simple elegance. $8 is a deal!

Have fun with it!
