The Workplace of the LetMeGo Immersion Does NOT Have Any Windows

Why? Because I am a cruel, heartless Boss (yes I capitalized ‘B’)!

No, that is not true. The reason is because we use Linux and Mac OS in our laptops :P (Well… we do have one Windows machine, but we are about to shut it down.)

Henry, German, Nicolas, and Andres have Ubuntu installed on their laptops, while Maestro and I have Macs. The “one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other-thing” is Lucho’s laptop. It has Windows XP installed. Nevertheless, he will be switching to Mac right after the LetMeGo Immersion ends.

The software we are developing is also Windows-free. We will be hosting LetMeGo.com in Linux RedHat using Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl.

Sorry Billy. I appreciate you a lot, but Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft SQL, and a few other Microsoft tools get on my nerves (…and not because of their price).

P.S. Actually, we do have another Windows machine in here; the one we use to transmit to Ustream the video of the LetMeGo Immersion webcam. We think that Windows is great for tasks, like this, that require little or no interaction with the user. We need to restart that machine almost every day, though, as it stops working without touching it.
