Subject: Just a note about me absence....
I try to get here as often as possible, everyday if I can. The last two weeks have been heck with my system. I had put XP Pro on and it was a clean install. I re-partitioned, re-formatted, and installed XP. Then did the updates to drivers and all. I have never seen my system so ill responding! I went to a guru freind of mine and they directed me to a place that deals with nothing but XP related problems. I need power because of the graphic software I am using. Not some freindly OS that can try and think what my next click is going to be. I paid this place $20 to have them give me a step by step instruction sheet on the changes I needed to make to have the system respond the way I needed, and it should of. Well didn't work, although their instructions where to a T and the system did prove to be better, it still was a far cry from Win2K Pro! So what does one do when it's broke? Fix it! So I did, another two days of re-partitioning, re-formatting, and installing a clean OS. This time back to what I know works. Win2K Pro. Then there's the few days needed to re-install all the software that was/is needed to continue onward. I am pretty close to a full recovery from XP Down Sindrome and should be back on track to my daily visits.....And to think they are talking about a new OS from Microsoft and getting rid of all previous versions! Longhorn OS........

I've heard about Longhorn and it sounds like a pretty scary and nasty OS. It runs your life
more than you would want them to know. Does Big Brother in the 21 Century ring a bell to you? I remember it in the 60s and it has come to this as an up to date Devils Curse. 8-[

Good luck with it all Hawktoey. At the moment I know the feeling #-o

Yeah, the OS's are getting a little too smart and a little too intrusive. I hate a computer second guessing my favourites, or my next move... or anything much for that matter. But then, I like to drive a manual transmission car too :)

Can anyone spell 'luddite' :bigrinnin:
