Roel Hello tracer,

Steve How am I going to access that message on the new machine?  :)
t use GHOST, you can clone the whole hard disk over  or hang the old
t hard disk on the new machine and copy the bat and whatever else you
t need to the new drive. I mean how are you going to keep any old mail
t if you donot do that
Roel use network-folders (just share your mail-folder over the network...)
ok... understood...  never used it that way, I like mail to sit on my
pc!!

Roel here, i've got an old p75 with 16mb running w98v2 and all it does is
Roel keep backups of files, keeping my message-folders  providing an
Roel internet gateway...
Roel since no program actually runs on it (except a firewall and the
Roel occasional defrag  scandisk) it runs fine... (although I have to
Roel reboot it every 3 days for some unknown reason)
sounds like my kids could loose their p75 (g)

Roel This way, i can access my mail all across my home-network (well, the
Roel other 2 pc's :-) )  manage it from every place...

ok, will try that but that means having to network that lot and thats
work in the house...

t One of the reasons anyway I have the bat with other internet stuff on
t my E-Drive and if C dies/gets corrupted, who minds...
t C only has the MS and OS stuff.
Roel same setup here :-) I just love to see a whole system get up  running
Roel in 15 minutes :-)
100% agreed. Thats one of the services I offer them here, cloned copy
of their proper running system so if they mess it up (g) they can be
back in 15 minutes as it was when they liked it.
Better for me as its hard work recovering stuff, dificult to charge
for and customer unhappy as system isnt the same.
All they have to do is keep added software and make backups of data.
Their system is on a cd as ghost image (well, a few at present...)




Best regards,

Roel Hello Steve,

SL Those limits are arbitrary.  The Microsoft routines obviously have bugs in
SL them, don't they?  :)
Roel well, it's not a real bug, as the ini-file-specification sets size
Roel limits to 64k... (remember that these were developped for win 3.x and
Roel maybe even lower...)
Roel so they just obey the limit that MS has set for ini-files... :-)

SL Those "advantages" aren't exclusive to the registry.
 What has these advantages too?

SL Flat files in a user's home directory.
Roel well yes, but then you can't use simple acsii-files if you want to
Roel store binary data (or even executable strings like you can in the
Roel registry) (about the latter one: don't ask me how or even why, but it
Roel can be done...) (hell, where could somebody use this for? -excluding
Roel hackers!)
virus writers
Or MS wanting your system to do things they donot want you to know
about...

SL An NT-Network isn't an advantage.  Any IT professional can tell you that
SL and as one such professional I can tell you many reasons why NT is the worst
SL choice to have a central repository for user files (that is all a "profile"
SL is).  I'd much rather have Unix with NFS.
Roel I'm not so fond of NT either, but sometimes you can't make the call...
Roel since your budget or boss will :-(
