Wait a minute - didn't I already say that?


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
for someone who enjoys playing with Beta Software.

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.

If you have an old install disk of WinXp, you can reformat your hard
drive and get rid of all the spyware, freeware, trialware and bloatware
that most companies put on their computer today, and install a WinXP.

Dell is one of the worst companies for loading their computer with stuff
you don't want and didn't ask for. They make a ton of money loading
your computer with that crap. If you check the start up registry it is
amazing how much garbage they put in there that just applifies the
problem with Vista. While you can delete the items from your registry,
too often they have it set up to reinstall the items automatically when
you reboot.

My last computer did not have a lot of freeware and trialware, but I
still reformatted the hardrive and only installed the software I wanted.
On my mothers computer I was lazy, I just uninstalled the software I
didn't want, deleted the items in the start up registry I didn't want,
and then ran registry mechanic to clean up the registry. Not the best
method, but it did make one hell of a difference.

I actually use Spybot and Hijack This to review the start up directory.
I just like the interface better.

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.

Why don't you take a Mickey Mouse 'around the world' cruise. It might do
you good.

Apparently all Herring's vacation did was rest him up so he could return
to being his snarky old self. I suppose if I spent a week aboard a
Disney cruise ship awash with rugrats and so many pathogens the crew had
to hand out hand wipes, I might be off my feed, too.

You should have paid more attention to your high school students.

Smash it first and fix it second.
