as a desktop user, i'm daunted by no floppy drive.. what happens on a no flop lap when your os ballses up or something? you have to pay a tech every time, or is there a 'way in' ??
compound this with them having win xp HOME EDITION, which i understand doesn't give you features you get in 98 like control panel (well, fuck me if i could find it - read someone saying 'xp home edition doesn't have "nuts and bolts" functions, only xp pro ed.')
my instinct would just be to reformat for 98se, but then i might not have all the drivers a new lap requires.
what say you?
hmm.. other question -
can you link a lap to a desktop via the usb for file swapping?? :p

i'm on an anti-yeast diet.. can't eat a fucking thing right now. rode 22 miles of crappy tucson roads to pick the lap up, 11 uphill and w/ headwind.. nothnig in the house except spinach.

appreciate it, but have to pass on 'shit..' i wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for coercion. i don't get a charge out of being a 'funny' sound maker.. and getting other people to think/experience/grow shouldn't be my responsibility. amazing what a winning attitude will do for you :p
i'm not fond of people who feel compelled to win at things. very bad sign, esp. for the losers in implicated events. nihil novus sub solam

XP has a repair setup and roll-back - really tho you want to use XP PRO

Glad I can help in more ways than one.
I'll work on caring about your rants if you work on making them less frequently,
deal?
