Terrible trouble & tedium transpiring Trusty Tahr

[Tom_ZeCat]

Trusty Tahr, thou hast me betrayed! Firstly, the download via torrent be that o' Saucy Salamander. That requireth me to update on me wee netbook, which taketh seemingly a fortnight. After the long tedium of downloads to upgrade to Trusty Tahr, I type with great anticipation the password and ... voilà ... I am greeted with a grey mist of a screen, not the operating system.

Oh, woe! Trusty Tahr, why hast thou withheld thy love? Why the plain grey screen and not the OS?

I shall try once again to conquer the beast, this time obtaining my Trusty Tahr via the direct download, not the torrent.

OK: Best KFN thread topic line ever - hands down!

Any chance you were watching re-runs of "The Tudors" while you wrote this post?

"To Torrent, or not to Torrent. That is the question."

"To Torrent, or not to Torrent. That is the question."

Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous tor'nt clients
Or to take arms against a sea of troublesome downloads
And by opposing them to die, to sleep

Maybe you should call youself John (the) Savage - Oh, Brave New World of Trusty Thar ;-)
