well Bobby...there is an easy off switch for Windows...i call it make the computer so mad it throws the blue screen of death at you...

i run Win2kPro at work, and WinME at home...what in the hell was Gates thinking releasing ME??? considering 2k is based on NT (which is something MS should have done long ago), ME is just plain terrible! i would go back to 98SE, but i figure it' s just as easy to move forward...

i can' t wait to get 2k working at home!

I think they should pass a law that ends the debate between which is best Linux or windows.


....Windows

If you look up " best" in the dictionary there is a wee Windows logo beside the definition :)

Well, there is no Windows version - it is constantly being upgraded to plug security leaks[:p] Of course the older versions, like your screen, shot do show the proprietery nature of MickeySoft. And just like the " shared borders" of Frontpage it doubles the logo :)

Seriously, Windows has done more to bring computing to the masses than any other application and is " THE" invention of our generation. I for one am glad there is a Windows - makes my job working with ' real' computers that much more valuable:)

are and never were real......well shucks ain' t that a let down. :)

Or maybe I am not a real person :) ...
working with make believe computers....

DaAngel...

Close your eyes and contemplate this:

If all you know, all you see and hear and remember, and even that which you forget is simply an electronic signal and chemical reaction processed by the neural pathways in your brain... then you are trusting your brain that the world around you truely exists.

When you shut down your computer, how do you know that OutFront exisits? When your friend leaves the room, how do you know that they really exist? Because your feeble mind tells you that it is so?

And if all " matter" in the universe is made up of atomic particles... or swirling spec' s of light... and there is no truely solid matter... then aren' t we all simply holographic projections interpreted by millions of singular, individual conscious beings as " real" ?

Um... sorry... cold medicine must be kicking in...

I like the sound of computers in " your world" - beats the P-III I' m messing with right now :)

" There is no spoon"

That is not medicine thats Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
Are you watching Star Trek or something?

On closer inspection I found my computer to consist of...

My monitor is a Corn flake box with a cut out covered by cling film...
my keyboard is a shoe box...
my CD rom has bits that look like a pop-up toaster....
my internet connection seems to be enabled via a coat hanger.....


But the best news is......add MS windows to this and magically I have a real computer. :)

Since we are all imagining

I imagine a Windows system that does not crash every 6 hours
I imagine a Windows customer service that really exist
I imagine MS opening arms wide to any decent software house
I imagine Bill G and MS offering money back when their junk does not work
I imagine not having to buy a REAL user manual after I spent $$ on the software, because the one that came with the junk is about as useful as a white pages from 1980

What do you imagine?

Hmmm, sounds like Unix to me:)

Barry, just a true life story: I owned (well, with a partner) a ISP a few years ago - we had three WIN web servers and two Unix FreeBSD web servers - we had to have someone reboot the WIN boxes every week or they would crash - we rebooted the Unix boxes every new years day, excepot we forgot once and never bothered...

They should pass a law that states that any and all Unix web servers, working along side Windows servers, should be used at least once every year for one hour after a good dusting.

I also imagine free support for windows.......
I imagine a sensible world in which common sense prevailed and Windows was not a trademark.

I do think however that my lack of knowledge of linux can be based on one of two things......

1. My windows based " Real" machine preforms....thus I don' t need to look else were.
2. I can' t be bothered.

I am going for Number one. Now I ask you, why do so many linux user have knowledge about windows.....

1. There OS does not preform and they need to look else where.
2. ..erm......uhm.......ohh....nope....thats not it can' t think of a number 2 must be number 1.

Barry, as for your complaints, they can be ascribed to nearly every software vendor.

I think they should pass a law that for once and for all time defines how long a single thread is [:p].

Being new and all, I wonder Gil if you always take it upon yourself to " End" others threads?:)
