You know the kind where you go in and tell them what kind of system you want and they build one for you. It was 500 mhz Pentium III. My company didn't have any money to update our systems. My work computer was a 200 mhz Pentium I. So I had basically donated my computer to work. They did a lot for me too. Anyways I really wanted to buy a new home computer because the only one I had at home was my son's 233 Pentium I. I had just bought a new digital camera and wanted to play with the photo editing software but it couldn't handle it. Anyways so I was trying to justify this little expenditure when one of the tech support guys said our software wasn't running correctly on WinXP. So I thought well if I went out and bought my new home computer I could test it out on that. Well it was an emergency right? ;) ;) Anyways I didn't have the patience to wait for them to build me a machine. So I went to Comp USA and grabbed one off the shelf. I know, I know my brother is fussing at me telling me they use the cheapest parts they can find. He told me not to run any games that use the graphics accelerator card or it will melt some parts. So I left the new machine at work for two days while we debugged it. I was afraid that if I left it there for longer it I would never get to take it home. It turns out there is a difference in the ends of lines in binary files in WinXP. I don't really know. It wasn't my code. It was my boss'. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
