its on my computer

Let me guess, you are running Windows. Undecided

Never use Windows to store your wallets.

This is bullshit. Running windows, never had any wallets stolen. Stupid people will install malicious software no matter which os they use. From what I see most of bitcoin stealing stuff comes with altcoin clients/miners and other bitcoin related software, a different os will not protect you from any of those.

I never let the kids use Windows, although I virtually never use it except for work, where i use it over 90% of the time. On Linux, they can't install things because I don't give them root. And, if they managed to install anything, the program would be limited to their access. on linux, the default user access only includes write to their home and tmp, and no one can read another user's access.

Then you are a really shitty father. Your kids might want to play something called games, most of which require Windows. Sure you can use Wine, but how stable will be the games there? Also, most games like BF3/BF4 require Origin which is Windows only afaik.

Shockingly, they've been happy with the PS2, PSP and then the PS3. They are grown up now, so they'll have to buy their own PS4.

Setting aside games, they could do everything on the PC they ever wanted to do. They never missed Windows, and absolutely love the performance. They were never deprived. I build the fastest machines, which, unlike Windows, never get slower.

When we went camping, fishing, hiking, skiing and boating, we didn't use computers, TVs or the PSP (unless stuck in the tent in rain all day). That didn't keep them from being really excited about going and having a great time.

The next big gaming platform is likely to be Linux/Android, btw. Not just because of Steam, but I demo my tablet with a wireless PS3 controller and HDMI into the TV at 1080p while playing games designed for Tegra 3! The huge stationary console is dead. Your phone plus a controller will blow away the PS3/Xbox soon.

You would of loved me as a father. Plus, you would of been a lot kooler to people on boards if you were my son. lol
