My parents have fallen for this sort of thing within days of getting a new computer. It's so hard to get rid of and it made them feel like they were downloading viruses when they were really downloading legitimate software. It's a shame you've ended up having to do stuff like this when you are performing what should be, totally secure installs.

I really did want to like Gnome 3 but just nothing about it made me want to use it over Unity. I'm a fairly new Linux user who has used quite a bit of Unity, Gnome 3 and Gnome 2.

If this attitude from Adobe continues maybe there will be a larger drive toward open-source alternatives to Photoshop crosses poor student fingers

Home network. It may differ in larger towns like Auckland or Wellington but the city I live in is hardly small either.

I hate to think what kind of prizes will be offered for the higher contributes..

Thanks for the link. I'm only just starting my second year of University now and I feel like skills with Vim will be an invaluable thing to have for my course.

As someone who is thinking about learning Vim, this diagram is severely daunting.
