OT...anyone.
Seems after installing parts of MSOffice97 (word and webpage maker)
the computer won't boot to windows (95OSR2). Pentium 200. Get an error.
.
Says...
Can't load device IOS
Windows protection mode
Restart the computer.

When I restart the computer it forces "Safe mode". I was going to uninstall Office but the drivers to the CDROM aren't installed in Safe mode. Of course safe mode is supposed to allow you to fix the problem but I don't know what it is.
Any clues?

Thanks, Jim

By definition, a server is moving data, which is inherently an integer operation.

Actually, moving data from a disk drive or memory onto a network is inherently a data transfer operation which can bypass the CPU altogether. Moreover, moving data out onto the network isn't the only definition of server; there are plenty of floating point intensive server applications that do a lot of processing before fulfilling a request for data.
