Ah well. It's almost exactly 20Y since it came out. I dareasay that this was in the relatively early childhood of most people working in tech support in 2022. > My personal choice is to use Linux.

OK, I can see that. I keep it around for occasionally rooting and reflashing smartphones and the like, and sometimes for firmware updates. That is mostly it now. Saying that, I did reinstall TinyXP on a Sony Vaio P last month and it's striking how much quicker than Windows Thin PC (the allegedly cut-down Win7) it is. I haven't got all my drivers and things working yet, though, and the Intel Poulsbo drivers seem to nix Windows' large fonts setting, and its tiny letterbox screen really needs that. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
