Not so over here; nowadays pretty much everyone who needs an in file
creates their own. It makes installation and uninstallation of apps a
snap. This isn't the warp of two years ago anymore; there've been many
bugfixes over the last two years. More than 90% of apps can be
reinstalled on a freshly installed system with one drag'n'drop and one
rename action from the old installation, remembering all settings.

Lots of people do "productive stuff" just for the hell of it. The thing
is, their list of interesting productive stuff to do does not match up well
with the supply of productive things in need of doing. The market provides
incentives for them to rearrange their lists.
I've had people help me buck hay just because they thought it was fun. I
need that hay moved tomorrow, though, not next time some of my
acquaintances are struck by an urge to play farmer.

You mean having different docs in each their window? How is that
unintuitive? If you're sitting at a desk looking at multiple documents, do
they magically crawl onto the same sheet of paper or do they stick to each
their sheet?

Apparently, this just isn't a problem on the mac. But it seems to be a

It's the weekend and, thanks to Warp's efficiency (no registry
problems, no reboots, no weird losses of speed), I have time to waste.
Maybe you should consider an operating system that gives you more time
off, huh?

NO?!?!?
then it's not *MISSION* *CRITICAL*
Did you know that IBM mainframes are so stable that most don't even

It's expected that if you are gonna actually turn the machine off, it

You moron. The only part that windows plays on these systems is
providing a platform for semi-intelligent data-entry terminals.
The actual DATABASE ENGINES for PeopleSoft, SAP, Baan, etc. all run
on either Unix servers or IBM mainframes.
You know what happens when you put your database on NT?
You get a fucking CORRUPTED database within a matter of days
when the piece of trash crashes.

You write like a fat-acceptor.
What you said are blatant LIES.
If you had any actual EXPERIENCE with Linux or Unix, you would
realize how blatant most of your lies are.

ZERO experience outside of microsoft O/S's.????

Why is that?

Now...here's the question...
Why is Windows 98 soooooooo fucked up, that upon doing an installation,
it can't recognize FAT32 partitions made by a previous installation
of the SAME VERSION of Windows98?

ICQ # 3056642
H: Knackos...you're a retard.
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.
C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
that she doesn't like.
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.
E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
response until their behavior improves.
G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
