By when you log in do you mean with a Display Manager, such as gdm? If yes then those often contain menus where one may choose which Window Manager to use. I suppose DMs are one big difference between today and long ago. I used to log in at the console myself, then startx, at the command prompt. Mostly so if X ever messed up on me it would be easier to recover my system.

No warranty on that RAM stick huh? Often they have lifetime guarantees. I'm not sure how well those are honored though. The PC market does seem to have fallen on hard times anymore. I'm glad I built my last system when I did. I don't think I could have done any better since. There is better hardware available today of course, but it is all so expensive lately. I believe mobile has made the economies of scale tip against us now.
