I remember tom.
Ofcause we didn't have nvda then.
Everyone was going over from not caring to what they ran their
readers and how many ran if you ran 2 by mistake on win98 and lower so what.
On the early xp days you got things wrong installed or uninstalled
things the wrong way out of order and your display chain was totalled.
I did it several times.
You could fix this by deleting the chain, reloading the video card,
and then rewriting your chains for the interceptors but it was so
easy to mangle.
Every time I did mangle things which happened weekly if my
concentration went or even daily was to reformat.
So I turn on something, run something wrongly and then swear.
O beeeeeeep!
I have done it again.
Time to reformat again.
And we didn't get dcm right away.
We have nvda, the concerns are more interface related now.
the switch from a desktop environment to a hybred environment is
throwing some in a weird way including me, its just a load to
handle I know I should be knowing by now but I havn't touched touch
and feel like I am still in the deep end.
I didn't care before now well.
But yeah eventually there will be a time when there will be another big change.

Hi Shaun,
You want to know what I find amusing about that comment?
I think a lot of people in this community have completely forgotten
the uproar caused by Microsoft releasing Windows XP. I remember people
on the Jaws list and elsewhere swearing up and down they would never
upgrade to XP, that XP is trash, that they will use Windows 98 until
it dies. Now, some 12 years later exactly the opposite is true. People
say things like "they got it right with XP" but if you were to go back
in time and tell everyone that they would not believe you.
The moral of the story is that it takes a very long time for the blind
community to accept and adopt change. By the time they do they are
already behind the mainstream, and will start kicking, screaming, and
wining about how bad the changes are. A few years later it is all
forgotten about until the next time the evil empire releases a new
operating system that forces them to change.
Cheers!
