I have conversations with my computers, don't you?

As the time of having ac adapter which hopefully results in working lappy, looms,
I'm becoming nervous about my decision to go all linux on lappy.
When I'm nervous I rant, often silly rants.
This is how I imagine my computers respond to me anyway:

"I'm stuck on the whole windows drivers way of dealing with hardware."

"Seems like that linux is born knowing what hardware is, but not automatically what to do with it, windows is born knowing what to do with things, but not what hardware is.

" 'here windows, have a printer' 'OMG WHAT IS THIS THING WHAT DOES IT DO WHY DID YOU ATTACH IT TO ME OMG PLS TELL ME WHAT IT IS!!!???11'*crash*"

" 'here linux, have a printer' 'oh nifty, a printer .... what. you want to print something? ... why?' "




"So I'm sorta expecting the conversation to go like this:
me: 'So lappy, you're all linuxy now, are you aware you have pcmcia slots?' Lappy: 'Yes sir I do!' me: 'Awesome, now, do you see a wireless internet card in one?' lappy: 'Yes sir I do! Wireless internet card, status is peachy-keen!' me: '... so where's my internets?' lappy: 'what?' "
