Yo Jaguar,
If you would have read the email, you'd realize that I want to put windows
back on b/c Linux doesn't work with my modem. (and a couple of other
programs i have). So first of all, b4 you criticize me, read the reasons
behind it and realize that this is the NEWBIE list. I've been at this a
whole 3 weeks now.
If Windows sucks @$$! so badly...why would you WANT to put is back
on????????????????
You and quite a few others are hypocrites...saying Windoze sucks, ad
nauseum,
yet wanting to dual boot. Make up your minds..either it sucks and you want
NOTHING to do with it...or quit bashing Windows.
my $0.02 worth
