I've got an XP Pro partition on my server - it's been a year since it's been booted - two motherboards and some other hardware since that time - and the thought of even taking the server down aside from it's monthly dust-out/shutdown - which I try to minimise the downtime - can't seem to bring myself to even TRYING booting into the XP Pro partition...hate to think how much shit I'll have to deal with in the first place - finding all the new hardware - drivers - reboots - and THEN the frigging patches - yikes...nah...it's a small partition and I'll save it for a really really rainy day...if ever... If I want to torture myself enough, I fire up a VM session - and only for a short while...that's bad enough... Besides, I'm married. I'm tortured enough as it is without having Micro$SCOft torture me further... stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Yow!
