Ssshhh, don't tell Jimh. He's buying one for his son, the Marine. But
then,
a Marine can probably fix the damn thing, or smash it.


Ragging on someone elses family members Johnny?
Why don't you take a Mickey Mouse 'around the world' cruise. It might do
you good.


What's ragging, Don?

Ahh, the old "Who, me?".


No, asking for a definition. Besides, as you are so apt to say, I wasn't
talking to you.

Nothing new about that. Many of the "largest" customers held off on XP
until SP1 was released.
I'm running VISTA SP1 (beta). I guess it is ok to say that.
As I said, you love to tinker with your computer. Vista is a great OS

I bought a new laptop, BIG MISTAKE cuz it has Vista. Vista is a
disaster, slow, cranky, filled with crap I dont need, pure garbage. I
wish I'd bought a mac.

Smash it first and fix it second.

*I* was paying him a compliment! But, I guess you are too.

I understand one of the best Windows boxs is an IMac laptop. Runs Windows
better than any other laptop.

Microsoft: 88 Million Copies of Vista Shipped
Despite underwhelming consumers and being snubbed by enterprises,
Windows Vista's numbers keep growing.

Despite underwhelming consumers and being snubbed by enterprises,
Windows Vista's numbers keep growing, with Microsoft Corp. saying
Thursday that it has now shipped *88 million copies* of the
operating
system, almost double the number of copies of XP in the same
amount
of
time at its launch.
The 88 million figure mostly includes Vista-installed PCs bought
by
consumers and small businesses,
JimH purchased Vista thinking it was great and the first thing he
wanted
to do is figure out a way to tweak it so it wouldn't run so slow.
It
just goes to show you PT Barnum was correct.
Hey dummy, I did not purchase Vista. I purchased a laptop with
Vista
for
my son.

BTW: Why are you so concerned about what decisions other people
make?
What business is it of yours Jim Gallow, I mean Reggie? You are a
regular
busybody.

Jimh, if you don't want comments about the decisions you make, why do
you
continue to tell us all your decisions?

If you recall John, my question on Vista was to Harry. The dumb and
dumber
twins then got into the picture and the thread went downhill from
there.

What other "decisions" have I told you about and asked you to comment
on
John.



JimH,
I would recommend you use email for those topics you don't want
discussed in rec.boats. If you don't know Harry's email address let me
know and I will send it to your email.

I should always read your post before I respond. But then I'd be doing
things out of order and get all confused.

Did you two exchange love notes while you were away.
Mr. Burns may not like that.


How's your mom doing, Don?

Don has already told you several times that he does not appreciate you
bringing up his Mother here. Why are you having a hard time with that
request John H?


You're wrong. You are the one who attributed despicable, horrible,
atrocious motives to my question. Don just followed along.

Actually, I was just wondering how she's doing.

Do you have a power of attorney to be Don's representative now?

Damn straight.

On the other hand.........Army folks just give up and ask the Marines to
help them. ;-)


There you go! Now you're getting it! There was no 'family attack' as you
and Don like to pretend.

But, what does this ;-) really mean? Do you just wink a lot at
everybody? Or is this something special just between you and me?

Dear MS (Bill)

Can I get a refund on my copy Vista?

I hate it. Its slow, locks up and does things I don't like.
An OS shouldn't do that.


I just want to run applications as fast as possible. Thats all.
I wouldn't install this bloatware on my work machines unless I
wanted to loose my job and was looking for a way out.


I bought Vista, my stoopid, I know.

VISTA isn't slow if you are running the right processor and an
appropriate amount of memory for the applications you use.

Bet you're not.


Use that same processor and memory setup and XP will still run faster.
Running a warp speed processor to get the same performance as an XP
machine running a supersonic speed CPU is just masking problems.


Sorry; can't run the "same" memory setup on XP. That should give you a
hint, eh? I've been waiting patiently here for someone to bring up
something, anything, and you've come the closest, even though you still
didn't get it. :}




Depending the processor, you can run up to 64 gb of memory. Does Vista
require even more?

Almost double? Doesn't seem that impressive when you consider the personal
computer
market has almost doubled since XP was introduced. In 2002, there were 51
million PCs sold.
In 2007, 96 million are expected to be sold.

Apple by now has half the market capitalization of Microsoft, which says
something as it is bigger than Oracle, IBM, Intel or HP. Its market
share probably grew 37% last year (estimate for 4th quarter). It is
currently at 8% market share.
And its newest operating system release (Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard") sells
at USD 129 (everyone gets the "ultimate" version) - and is in many ways
more advanced.
But still, in absolute numbers of operating systems sold, Microsoft
rules.

Old Wayne sounds like those losing control IT managers of the mid 1980s
who were terrified by PCs because they meant that users could kind of do

Oh no, just because I managed large corporate systems, I never had
that mentality although there are certainly some who do. I've been
dabbling in home computers for a long time, well before the IBM PC,
MS/DOS, etc. My first was actually a DIY project using a board level
engineering prototype called the SC/MP. It was made by National
Advanced Systems back in the 70s and was programmed in hexadecimal
machine language via a keypad device. Those were the days. Of
course it didn't do much compared to what we now have. My first
"boxed" home computer was the Commodore VIC-20 which used an audio
cassette for input/output. It had a decent Basic compiler and could
do some useful things. Well before all of that I had a TI-59
programmable hand held with all the bells and whistles. It was an
amazing device in its day.
