It's not useless, I just was having a really hard time getting a new Linux distro to work. Archbang severely screwed up their latest release, because I couldn't get the GRUB menu to work, or the alternative. I then went back to #! but my mouse and keyboard short keys don't work with that OS so I ditched it. Then I went out and bought a new USB stick so I could put Linux Mint on it and have it as a bootable usb stick, but my computer can't read it for whatever reason. Then I got a DVD, burned the Linux Mint .iso file to it, and then installed it, which seemed to work during the install, but then when I rebooted the drivers weren't reading my wireless mouse and keyboard, even after rebooting 5 times. I reinstalled it and it seems to be working now, but it was frustrating.

I'm probably going to be homeless tonight if housing don't give out an emergency motel ticket. At least my stuff is gonna be in storage. :/
Yeesh, okay I rescind all my complaints. $250 per week? I'm not currently aware of what the Australian dollar is at, but that seems pretty ridiculous, even for a massive international city.
