Ah the marvels of Mr. Softie. Must be upgrade time. I feel they but little bugs just before a new release, forcing you to upgrade. Wonderful marketing scheme. However, you could put Caldera Linux on your machine and not worry about it. The beauty of it Maurice is that you can share the puter with both "Shut the" Windows and Linux, as their install will parition part of your HD for it. You should try it. WK not doing well? Hmmmm, "Shut the" Windows CE isn't doing well either. Seems Palm is kicking it's butt as an OS. No worries, Saint $ill will throw money at companies to deploy it. Truth be told, they aren't going to "Win". Bigger isn't necessarily better in the appliance driven era that we are enterring. Efficiency is in, bloat is out... I just read something about China and the fact that they are selling their own phones from one of the JV's. Seem to think it was Motorola again, but it might be Nokia. I'll have to dig around to see I can spot it. China isn't going to be the "boon" must folks thought it would be. Oh China is a dream and a nightmare. My own life expierence was a high and low back in the early to mid 80's when big oil went in there. So much wanted the chance to go over there, but they were a tough crowd with the companies I hung my hat with at the time. Then you complicate it with the Viagra Repubicians that want to build more and better nukes because there is still at least a Frosty War and a new hormonal imbalance casue by all that Viagra. Meteor ALert seem the annual meteor shower induced by some Comet is near. With all the LEO junk floating around surely those particals will have to hit something. I'm sure Iridium will not notice one or too missing.
