Well, our second round of strep throat turned out to be stomach flu and teething fever. But it's finally over now. Today my dad and I went to Staples (in Carson City) and went computer shopping. Tonight, I finished another audio book, "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbitt. Today, I had a day off from work because of Presidents' Day. On Saturday, we got our taxes done at Jackson Hewitt.

During the last few days, I installed Cygwin on my computer (a GNU [Unix-like] operating system that runs on top of Windows). Now that I got Xfree86 functioning, I'm now trying to install KDE. My goal is to be able to use Konqueror (the KDE web browser) on my Windows 98 system. If I can get KDE going, I might even try Gnome and the Galeon browser. One step at a time, though.
