      Yeah... One of the older Linux distros (Caldera maybe?) had a tetris clone to play with during installation - definately made the process more enjoyable. :)

      Install XP on one machine, and play on another machine... makes it much more enjoyable ;P. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

        Wife: why has that PC been sitting there with that dialog up for the past two hours? Shog: ah, sorry - didn't notice, been playing Tetris over here. Wife: you couldn't have looked up once in a while? Shog: and break my concentration? I'm on a role here!

                Some mini games to play while waiting for the XP installer to do something (Having to reinstall a machine after what appeared to be a minor IIS glitched turned out to be a COM+ and security DLL corruption so buggered up, regedit wouldn't work... :mad: )

Yeah? Well I do declare that I've already been through DLL Hell with the broken machine (now working properly after a timely nuke), so I guess it must be time for my 72 "vested" (ahah!) virgins ;P Or shall I just drop a VMS box on you in a comical manner? :-D
