Teo,
How IS that 8500 case I handed over in Niles doing? Yeah, what you
say WAS fine until you actually try to make some money with them.
Then you realize how HARD it is. And whatever money you can make is
wasted in a machine that is still problem fraught and unproductive.I
guess the trying to make money part and the been doing that for way
too long parts were not stated loudly enough. Hobbyist work arounds
are fine when you are a hobbyist. When you want to CREATE the
constant problems of old systems kill your effort. You Know me from
this list at least from when we met in 2003. I think I have made
myself plain about PC too. And do not forget my disdain of Linux.
I want to create content. Being a perpetual computer mechanic may
get you a little shop on the corner. Creating content is a lot more

The fact is the computer indistry doesn't care what you want, they
need to make money. The reason you have so much crap loaded onto a new
PC is because companies pay the OEMs to include it and that money is
usually all the profit in selling new machines (outside of upgrades to
base models). Apple could care less about basic low end machines
because it cannot make the profit on them that it likes, and people
who would have purchased a more profitable machine might get cheap and
go low end.
