How to Install Ruby (and other fun stuff) in Windows

Due to an illness I am pretty much stuck in bed. Luckily, I have a laptop on loan to keep me company.

You'd be continuously having to make it to some halfway point FOREVER.

But apparently this works because you can walk or drive or whatever to the store.
