Clean install?

From what I'm reading, that may not be an option. The upgrade
version of
Vista requires XP to reside on the disk, although I believe there may
be a
work-around. Also, if I'm not mistaken, once your register your upgrade
Vista, your XP license is toast. There's no going back.

The work-around:

It should be much simpler - you know what I mean?

Another reason never to buy anything from Apple.

They started all this GUI crap. :)


I believe it was Xerox, actually.


Xerox PARC only invented it - Apple made it happen.

DOWN WITH APPLE!! :)

I'm more a fan of apple than I used to be, what with the iPOD and the
new $1000 laptops that are pretty damned nice and run both apple's OS
and Windoze XP.


I received an iPOD for Christmas - my kids wanted me to
move into the 21st century.

I hate the Apple iTUNES software - that's one area where
MS does a much better job. Plus iTUNES is intrusive -
updating the iPOD my ass - they are spying on me.

Speaking of moving into the 21st Century, I have used
a straight razor for umpteen years - I have three of them,
all antiques and one was used by my Great Grandfather who
was a barber.

The last time the boys visited, they had left their
razors at home and refused to use my straight razors -
freakin' pansies.

So they bought me one of them fancy schmancy Gillette
"Fusion" razors. Damn thing has got a freakin' battery
in it. Used it once and went back to my straight razor.

At least I'll have a "21st Century" razor when they
visit again. :)
