Oh Gosh Mark.  What does the Win2k Pro make me?  Afraid to see the answer. ;-)

Mark, got myself a new DELL< Over priced piece of crap, that runs on XP HOME, I think it runs on it, well at the very least it comes up when I turn the machine on.    Who knows just what it going to do after that.

 

Jorge, Iwould really like to get into Linux, but talking over the phone is good for me now too good for you, as my speech right now is very slurred and even Marion has trouble listening to me now.   So just try and imiange what it would be like for a person that has not heard me before.

 

From the looks of it my typing also is suffering a wee bit also.

Oh by the way

 

As I recall RK you used ME

 

That is the biggest load MS ever made.

 

Save your files, then reformat your HD and start anew.

Been working w/ my brother in law on this as he had it. ME was the buggiest

thing ever. Any update from it would most likely still present issues.

Sorry to come into this thread late (and I haven't seen what other posts

there may have been)

 

RK, Your on XP (hopefully Pro) and having issues?

Dave T, you're on 98?

Linux?

 

For what it's worth:

I'm no computer pro. I'm a lazy man that figured I could make a computer

work for me.

Started with OS/400 and at home once the PC launched used MS. 3.X was OK. 95

was a disaster, with 98 being only a minalization of that (har to rebuild 98

every 2 months). W2K was better, but much like driving a Semi through a

tropical paradise (getting the job done but inflicting casualties long the

way, and not a good experience).

 

Back when I was on 98, I tried many distros of Linux. Great for someone who

knows puters and OSs, elsewise no go.

Later w/ W2K I tried again and found the same thing for the most part except

Linux was more intuitive (ie like MAC & windows). Linux could catch ground,

and would work well for me, but the apps I use aren't available (the same

reason I gave up on MAC years ago. Doesn't matter how well it works if it

doesn;t do what I need it to.)

 

Made the change to XP Pro, and as much as I hate to say it, it has been

Wonderful!

No system issues, no my not understanding what I need to do minor points,

etc, NO NOTHING. The damn thing just WORKS (within reason of any OS under

constant attack)! It has just plain WORKED since day one with more

robustness than W2K or Linux ever though about, and with more intuitiveness

than 3.X, 95 or 98. For the record, I really don;t like it's interface, so

it was simply reconfigured to look like W2K (which felt like a semi without

a clutch).

 

I guess its just me as adoption rate is low, but as much as I would like to

deride it, I really like XP Pro.

Word to the wise: any MS product that hints to Home, Education, etc is crap.

Pro is the way to go (I guess that is MS terminology for "it works",

Hi Dave,

If you liked Win NT 3.5, then you will like Win 2K Pro. It's essentially NT

5. I use it as the default OS for the PC machines at home with one box

still running Win 98 R2 for those apps that need it as Win 2K does obsolete

a number of apps and hdwe that run on 98.

 

At work they just changed out everything for new HP's running XP. I hate it

and it does not interface to the Novel network nearly as well as the Win 2k

boxes they removed.

 

Best,

 

CB

Sorry for continuing the "non-golf" thread.
