Yes, I only logged on for the first time today since Friday, so the news about Edwarda was particularly sharp to me.
Um, I had to upgrade. It was a case where I had the machine planned out, but did not intend to upgrade for a time.
However, my wife managed to virtually destroy her machine. I guessed rather than replace the hard drive I would just disassemble her machine for parts.....then give her mine after I replaced it with the more powerful one. What I did not realize at the time, was that the new machine, with dual pentiums in it, required Win2000 to run.
Really, MSFT is too much. I had to go to Win98 because I was going to multiple monitors, now Win2K because of dual chips.
When I think about how I've had multiple monitors on a Mac for around 5 years or more, I just have to wonder if MSFT does not hold back on some of this stuff.....saving it for the next release. After all, if Apple could incorporate this stuff years ago, then there is no question MSFT has an inferior product. The problem is the crowd mentality of the average user.....the "No one ever lost their job because they bought IBM" philosophy.
Eh, meanwhile we all pay for it by turning into chiphead nerds. I used to know DOS backwards and forwards back in the 1980s.....I had to get my son to show me just how to get into DOS on this OS, much less recall half the commands on it.
Heck, Gates stole most of those Commands from UNIX most likely anyway. Probably if I get a UNIX manual I could figure much of it out again. |
