[Insert deity here] bless Spinal Tap.
Personally, while I've been working with Windows for years, I'd love to have the time and the knowhow to write my own OS from scratch. And I don't mean to say I want to get Linux, because I didn't write that myself from scratch now did I?
I'm likewise in no hurry to update to Vista. XP has its bugs, but a lot less than it did when it first came out, and I have the security of knowing that practically everything will run fine on Windows, as long as Windows itself isn't having any issues."I'm not a crazed gunman, dad, I'm an assassin...

Quoth MadMike View PostThe crappiness of ME and Vista aside, at least she knows they're newer. My son told me the idiot techs at his school got a hold of a bunch of computers with Win98, wiped them all, and installed 3.11 on them. Because "311 (three hundred eleven) is newer than 98."
Don't step in that!
I need to spoon it back throught my ear!Now would be a good time to visit So Very Unofficial!

Don't Listen or READ!!!!
Sucky customers don't listen nor do they READ!!! Every company I have been a tech for, if there is a device sold that tech support is offered on, SUCKY customers almost always don't read the material, or even worse, throw out the much needed drivers or software disks that come with the devices, then call and expect you to start with them from ZERO, not having even tried. Sometimes, I think customers feel trying is beneath them somehow. I had a guy call up, CEO golpher, he just says, "I received my "device" today, what do I do now?" I politely placed him on hold for about 15 minutes, took a rather lengthy bathroom break, when I got back, he had everything set up and working. The twit could have done that before calling.Ignorance IS Bliss!:

Quoth Mr B Rabbit View PostOr my favourite error message, which I've seen once and never again while trying to puzzle out a Unix system. I gave up and slumped on the keyboard. The message popped up on screen 'You can't do that.'

98, however, would give it even when you had a fully functioning keyboard connected, given that it worked last time you turned the machine on.I think, therefore I am. But I am micromanaged, therefore I am not.

Gah, brainfart... Yes, it is. It just happens that machines that nowadays come with XP have slightly better BIOSes and hardware config, and so it happens less often.
And, if I recall, that happens with... Oh, either AMI or Phoenix BIOSes. One or both of them.I think, therefore I am. But I am micromanaged, therefore I am not.

I do believe it's defaulted now days not to stop on keyboard errors. Unlike older computers where you didn't have the option to not stop on keyboard errors.
And yes, that "error message" exist back on 8086 computers. It's a oldie that never gets old.I've lost my mind ages ago. If you find it, please hide it.
