OS-ex
I have this theory about operating systems. You should always stay at least one OS away from the latest version available, that way you know you're using the most reliable one available to you. System packs, updates, bug fixes, all are immediately available, not so with the latest OS as you sit and act like a human guinea pig and the Microsoft engineers tally up your keystrokes in the secret laboratories beneath the Adirondacks.
As everyone struggled to get to grips with Windows 2000 I got on with using Windows 95. Out comes Windows XP and I move up to 98. The problem however is this; I can no longer have two large programs running simultaneously anymore for some strange reason. Its not memeory, or swap space, I have more than enough of that... so I suspect I need to move up an OS prematurely...
Windows 2000... {shudder} It sounds so final.
Nope, actually I take that back, it sounds like a product brought out in the 80's to replace glass.
