    His original handle was Fat Boy. When that got nuked, GW in the Lounge, he came back with Fat Eric. After abusing members that account was nuked too. There was another account of the Fat/Eric/Boy line that surprisingly was nuked. Erudite Eric started off being normal but slowly slipped back into his old tricks and has now been zapped.

        I´m doing that for almost 15 years already. In fact I´m still flabbergasted to see vendors selling machines with an installed HD without any partitioning (nor any advice concerning that). On top of that, I never use "my documents" and the like.

        Mine is also partitioned, but I do use "My Documents" - I just move it to the D: drive. It's handy, because there are shortcuts to it, apps expect it to work, and it provides a single place for app data (that I created and that apps create without telling me) that can be located and backed up frequently. Works for me!

            I learned that the hard way a while ago. I now divide my disk into 2 partitions; one for the OS and one for data. Then when I need to install a new version of the OS I just overwrite the OS partition with a clean install and all my data is still available.

              So Vista doesn't work, so I chuck in a Win7 DVD, and run it. I chose upgrade. It says, go to this link and download SP1 first. I go to that link, and IE tells me I need to upgrade IE. I really fucking hate Windows and MSFT. All they produce is shit.

              I'm running Linux (Fedora) and hosting different other OSes (ubuntu server, windows). I'm using VirtualBox Seeamless Mode to run only the application I need from Windows, so I never see the OS :)

                        I had three but lately combined the two data partitions into one. Got tired of looking in two places for things.

                            I may be wrong, but you somehow called for it by answering with "Let me explain it in terms you understand"... I don't think Eric is that bad that you all seem to think. He's been trolling for sure about GW, but in the soapbox mainly, and even if sometimes still tainted with reminiscence of the past, the rest of his Lounge posts are not really abusive or controversial. At least, not worse than some of M.Dalek, if we have to take an example. Maybe you guys just could let go...

                                    Fair enough. I could have worded it differently, but he had already called me stupid in a previous post so I wasn't trying to be polite. Perhaps I should have been.

                                    I didn't give it much thought until I told him to stop the personal attacks and he went ahead and sent another one on a different thread. That is when I started reporting him for abuse.

                                    He'll be back and if he is not abusive I will not be overly critical.

                                      Yeah I've got a lot to do today, want to get out and walk a few miles and do some more preparation for a trip I'm taking one week from tomorrow, going off the grid for a month. Taking a trip out to AZ to see my brother and do a tour of National and State parks in AZ and Utah. I think I've talked to you about this before? but am finally going to do it. Renting a car and plan on putting about 10K miles on it in the month I have it. Camping, hiking, backpacking and whatever comes along. I am also going to take a ton of photos I have a Nikon D7000 and; 4 X 32GB and 1 16GB SDHC cards so I figure I can get about 7K pictures, hope that's enough? :)
