I was gonna stay out of this, but Oh Well. There's a coupl'a
things I just don't understand what the big deal's about. One, is
LU's aversion to re-booting. The other is Window's users afinity
for re-installs.
I was a W95 beta tester, but they wouldn't accept me for W98.
So I downloaded various builds thru 1721 (RC1), mostly from Russian
ftp sites. Now before y'all chastize me for WaReZ, when W98 was
released, I bought a legitimate copy, build 1998. I just managed
to have W98 for 8 months before they released it ;-)
My point in all this ? My oldest HDD is my current C:\
drive. It's had several beta builds of W98 on it and now the
retail version, all installed over the preceding build. That HDD's
been in two different systems since W98 was first installed about
1/98. I'm only waiting on a new motherboard to arrive, and then
it'll be in the 3rd new system. I don't plan to re-install either
W98 or Linux.... and I'll bet'cha I don't have any big problems
either. Yeah, I know, 'famous last words' :)
< pontificate on ;>
I approach computer problems in this order, 1) I'm doin
somethin wrong 2) the application is the problem 3) it's
a hardware problem 4) it's an operating system problem. This
order seems to serve me the best. It appears to me that those
that have the most computer problems, attack them in _exactly_
the reverse order.
