The End of the Road for the 486

On this week's show, I answer a handful of audience questions from the Take Control launch, talk about the suggestions I've gotten so far, run down the Linux news since the end of Dual Boot Diaries, share a big list of things I've done to make my computing life better, answer listener questions, and more!
