Yes, but who are you? You spelled you're, aren't, and even loose right.

I've been doing it for a couple of years now. I have one program I have to RunAs administrator, and I logoff as user, login as admin for WindowsUpdate stuff. All in all, very smooth.
The most annoying thing is that you can't dblclick the tray clock to see the monthly calendar; it thinks you're changing the date, which is admin-only. Fixed in Vista.
How far does this hobby extend, precisely?
- Do you attend Susan Sarandon press conferences?
- How many toasters do you own?
- Wheelchairs?
- Fishnet stockings?
Oh, but it's true! In fact, they didn't stop there: the Excel team wrote their own Operating System, and then they built their own CPU, power supply, and case fan. Bet you didn't know you were running all that inside excel.exe, did you?
Not quite! You can diddle bits until the very moment you have to leave, slap the lid shut, unplug and run. It does the swap/thrash/hiberate/cryogenic thing - on battery - while you're motoring down the hallway. Yes, you're shlepping two pounds to save ten seconds, but I tell you, staring at the box, willing it to hibernate faster, before you can unplug, ooh that'll age you.
I believe that misspelling precedent sets a very bad precedent. Soon enough you're misspelling you're, and they're messing up they're. It's a short skid to it's, and before long no one can spell no one.
This one, clearly, should be given to Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards. Though I've no doubt he could deliver a smooth-talk answer, smiling through sharks' teeth.

That will not reduce the scoffing, I assure you.
Agh ... eh ... let me get up out of my rocking chair ... oof ...
Back when, you'd delete mw.ini for DOS Word. Didn't help, but that was the first thing they'd say.

I can't believe you actually called out that it was a 'nice keyboard'. Slashdotites have more keyboards than fingers. Ooh, how good was the VGA cable?

That would be one loooooonely and boring website.
I am going to be one styling Mad Max (Rabid Max!) in my '67 Camaro.
The ragtop isn't so good for fending off biker gangs, but that's what the dog is for. Or should I go for the monkey?

Well gosh, there's an authoritative statement.

Heh, I think that even worked in OS/2 1.0.
The network cable makes a 'click' noise when you plug it in. Didn't count that, now did you?
I haven't had a hard time not using double negatives. It's not very difficult not to.
Whoooooooosh.

You spelled its wrong, you koala-chasing lumbering cancerous descendant of British castoffs.

Do tell.
You do not recall correctly.
Windows 1.0 was graphical, but with tiled windows only; Windows 2.0 had overlapping windows.
You're likely thinking of OS/2: 1.0 was text only (but full multitasking!), 1.1 had the legendary Presentation Manager.
You are correct about the wrapper, or "run-time". Excel 2.0 for Windows could boot from DOS, load the Windows 2.0 runtime, then itself.

Ha!
No, I think he's the guy on the off-ramp, with the cardboard sign.

Get this: http://www.x2vga.com/. It hooks your Xbox to your monitor, and does all the 420/1080/3270 transversioneering. It works great!
