GET LAMP is here

Don't you mean "blue SCREEN"? Sorry, can't resist something like that. My current needs are simple, and I can get XP to do them quite adequately. Which is good, because I spend a lot of time on machines owned by the college, and I am not authorized to make any of the changes that I would like. EVERY OS, including WINDOZE does some things well, and some things poorly. When MICROS~1 made design choices that favored "multimedia" and dancing kangaroos over security, they were catering to a specific audience, and those choices DO seem to be what the bulk of the non-computer literate general public want. There have been times when I have wanted to do some things for which WINDOZE is not well suited. And sometimes it is just fun to play with other stuff. Several of my home machines are on MS-DOS 6.2x. I would like to put a larger drive into my OQO, and set up multiple OS's on it, with a boot menu for some form of Linux, OSX, and XP. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
