      Well, they could always have said, "Me yes five," or something, in response to my "Me not four". ;P

      Well, ok, yes. I was wrong. Though it would've looked cooler with just one long curving thread. But there's always next Sunday evening... ;)

          Well, as much of a hassle as it is, I think I'm going to have to have two hard drives - one for gaming, and one for everything else.

            Are you forgetting the MFC42.dll fiasco that resulted in Win95/98 machines getting trashed just because your app updated the MFC42 with a none backward compatable version. Caused my company no end of grief.


            Hell I thought it was funny .....

                Stuck with? Having been forced to spend the past 5 months working with WinXP boxes, I can say only one positive thing about it - XP does a good job of burning CDs. In every other respect, it is far worse than Win2K. WinXP was a giant step in a new direction, one which should never have been taken. Everything about it sucks; every task is relegated to some damned wizard who must have been dropped on his head as a child to be that stupid. There is no place for user preferences - MS assumes that it knows better than any user what needs to be accomplished, and how to do it. They don't, they never have, and they never will. I will continue to use Win2K for as long as I can buy it, and when the day comes that I can't, I'll switch to another brand. Stick with your Win2K box, Rohit... it will serve you well. WinXP is a travesty that should have never been allowed to happen. Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

                  I find the whole experience a nightmare.... it chews RAM up like I have never seen. I am bugging my systems manager to let me go back to Windows 2000.
