Can I buy 'em each a Thomas Guide instead of a shiny new Winderz box? It'll work better in power-outages, take up less space, handle water damage, and edegrade gracefully when it's shot, driven over, or bled upon. "Muddle of new and old" is a piss-poor criticism; it doesn't automatically mean "broken". If the system is broken, then identify where it's actually broke -- and that's not "well, some computers are old, and some are new". -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
