Absolutely. In this case if you are doing sales then you MUST have MS software. There are enough hassles in applying for a job without using MS software. I simply refuse to send my CV in any format other than HTML. Any recruiting agent who can't work out how to make MS-Word import HTML or to make IE load it isn't qualified to read my CV or to represent me. I've had a few arguements about this issue with recruiting agents. > > > I suggest that it's best of Hans uses the default options for every > > > other program he uses so that he can concentrate his energies on > > > ReiserFS (but I'm sure he's already doing that). > > Then why are you suggesting that Hans uses Explore2fs and > reiser4win on WinNT? They're certainly not defaults. You misread the quoting. That's something I wrote. > > > Support for writing to NTFS has been working for several years. I was > > > doing it in 1999.

So I just made some good backups and gave it a go. I never lost any data (and what I was doing was simple enough that there was no chance of losing data and not realising it). But I admit that I didn't overly stress it. Anyway in that case I wouldn't have minded saying "oops I trashed that NT machine and lost the CD - I'll have to make it Linux-only". ;) Warnings don't generally bother me too much. I try things out on a test machine first anyway. If something labeled as "experimental and dangerous" passes my tests and works then I'll use it before something labeled as "stable and released" that I haven't tested. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
