See, I’m a 13 year old. To impress my peers is somewhat easy.

Regardless, I emulate, or try to emulate Leopard on a Dell running Windows eXPerience. Yep, FindeXer nightly builds, RocketDock, Flyakite OSX, iColor Folder, MacSearch…that seriously does impress them.

To impress them with your social side, try Flock. To show them how you can get free music, install Songbird or Qtrax.

I don’t know if you have heard of it, but you MUST have already, gOS, which is basically Ubuntu + Enlightenment.
