Yes, you still have the desktop, because the desktop is vastly superior and Microsoft realised they couldn't actually take it away. Two apps is marginally better than 1 but I (even when I'm not doing techie stuff) generally have about 20 windows open and I'm looking at at least 3 of them at any one time (e.g. browser, game, VOIP app).

Yes, you're right! +5!

Fantastic! What a giggle - Orca fell over when trying to perform an 'overwhelming' number of DB inserts, 1200 a minute - or 20 per second. As someone in the article mentions - even Access can do that! (and easily, I might add) Hilarious on so many levels, but the rate of data-entry at the time of failure makes my day.:jig: Make it work.

You know, you just gave me an idea: I have an old Dell that I've been using to host Linux. May just take the small SSD and put it in that machine and then install the latest distro on the SSD. Of course, that depends on whether the Dell machine has a SATA controller built in which, given the age of the machine, is a toss-up.

You beta me to it! :-D (also sorry)

Yes, but we have both. That's what makes us special. Ooh... I can't wait for the Special Olympics. m.bergman For Bruce Schneier, quanta only have one state : afraid.

I wonder if John knows about this. He will have to keep extra ammo by the bed, tonight.

Perhaps you should be banned for violating the unofficial "no punctuation" rule.

Which takes it to 4.2, so not only a pillock but a low rep pillock :rolleyes: ! Thank you. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
