You could start by telling us what you still need Windows for, and maybe
we can help you work out that part!  :-)  My wife & i just recently got
rid of the one thing we needed Windows for on her computer: MS Money. 
We switched to GnuCash, and it's much easier to get to now - no waiting
for 5 minutes while Windows boots up in VMware.

The simple answer there is that for the most part mailing lists are a
lot easier to manage.

Great to have you with us!  Remember the Ubuntu philosophy - humanity to
others.

P.S. It might make it a little friendlier when you give us a name to
call you... ;-)
