I must
remember to try that sometime. :-)
As easy as bashing MICROS~1 is, we can't blame the
OS for BIOS or
hardware faults.
"MicroSoft? Is that some kind of toilet paper?" - IIRC
that came from the
Mandrake Linux installer. Hmm... Now we know what MandrakeSoft thinks of
Microsoft. But then again, the same joke can be rephrased as "MandrakeSoft?
Is that some kind of toilet paper"... The mind boggles...
Just getting the OT crud out of my head for today...
Later.
