    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: )


    Ian Darling The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity ... that such complexity can arise ... out of such simplicity ... is the most fabulous extraordinary idea ... once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened - it's just wonderful ... the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned - Douglas Adams

      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! ;-)

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
