100 FWIW, I definitely started faster speeds with audio books. Figured it was kinda like speed reading, also it seemed like the best way to get through a bunch of stuff, when you don't know of its worth your time or not. But I have noticed I retain more when I listen at normal speeds.

210 Came for the Bitcoin, stayed for the FOSS.
There are so many Linux distros that I believe anyone can find the one for them. You can find tiny ones that will run on super old hardware lime Tiny and Puppy. Others like Linux Mint come loaded with Office suites and other useful programs. Once a person dives into Linux I don't think there is any going back.
