Larry,
This list is exclusively to discuss all things related to G3 or G4-based Apple laptops.
As such, I would ask you to not post questions relating to other machines. There is enough traffic like it is now that we don't need questions about other OSes.
Further, you would probably get a more educated answer if you were posting your question to a dedicated Windows email list.
I didn't see any "question" there, more a "commentary/observation" regarding the differences between Windoze (ugh) and Macs. Coming from the WinBlows world a few years ago, I know exactly what he means. I'll never forget my first time upgrading to a bigger hd in my 8500, when I thought I would need a utility like "Ghost" to move everything from the old drive to the new. When some kind soul explained to me about how to "drag & drop", then "bless" the system folder on the new drive and set it as the start-up drive, I couldn't believe how much simpler it all was! To this day, it still amazes me to think about it. OTOH, I have a Thinkpad that I have been trying to install a new larger drive in and re-install the OS from a cd. It's plenty new enough to boot from a cd, and it can be set to do so, but it refuses to "see" a bootable cd in the drive at start-up. AAGGHH! Stupid PCs!! Makes me thankful for my Macs...
