Can someone tell me where the COOL is in having to reboot your computer thrice a day because it comes to a standstill after you open a couple of programs - and before you blame the hardware - this is with a 1.3G P4 with 512MB RAM. And where is the COOL in the weekly Windows Updates that come and only make things worse. After updating yesterday, I get another one today to fix an IE Security issue that was caused by an earlier patch. After installation I could not even boot the damn computer and had to remove it from Safe Mode. OH - I forgot - I guess I don't know how to push the button correctly.
Or maybe this is just a way to get me to upgrade from 2000 to XP. But I tried that Bill. After buying a brand new copy off the shelf, spent almost 3-hours installing patches and upgrades. The XP experience was way too COOL for me though, particularly the crayola icons and the exponential Updates, so I put 2000 back.
But your words Bill, have provided me with great comfort. In fact so much so, I AM going to go out and buy that new software. Too bad it won't be yours though. Moving to the Linux environment that may not be so COOL, but at least the people developing it give a damn! And just think, they make no profit out of it!!!
