You're using a different windows than I was. Typical Windows for me would last 3-6 months. It wouldn't usually get to the point where it wouldn't boot but there'd be so many problems it was too frustrating to use. > I have had my share of BSOD, but it > always boots back up. Microsoft 2-step: shrug-reboot. The point is that this shouldn't happen as often as it does. Ignoring it only allows them to continue releasing beta quality SW and charging multple $100's for it. > I think it would be better if the linux community > took the stance "linux is better because it was programmed to be > reliable and is incredibly stable, not to mention several other things" > instead of "linux is better because MS sucks".

I don't have to exxagerate either of these. Linux does everything I need it to do. The beautiful thing is Wine/WineX/DosBox/Dosemu et al are still being developed in case I need or want an older program. If it wasn't for open source I might as well chuck my older SW... > The important thing, > IMO, is that linux is still a *better* operating system. > > Regards, > > Andrew _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
