    is it possible to run an OS other than Windows RT on a
    Microsoft Surface RT?

    I know there are version(s) of Linux that run on machines
    with an ARM processor.

    They claim here, you'd run into a slight bootloader problem.

    Did you buy that on purpose ?

    Thanks. I'll stick with Windows RT 8.1.
    The people on that forum don't seem to understand the ARM processor
    is not X86 compatible.

    (sheepish look) Yes. It was cheap and I thought it might be fun.

    You mis-spelled atheism when crafting your
    original two-group newsgroup specification,
    which would cause no copy of the post to
    end up in alt.atheism.

    My PC shows you wrote it on 11/15/2021. That's Nov 15,2021 for the
    feeble minded.

    I'm most surprised to see that Lucifer (= Satan = the source of all
    evil) isn't an American.

    I'd always imagined he must be surely be an American, perhaps from one
    of the Southern states.
