he is comparing xp and vista..

he is correct in posting in both groups especially the xp one... since he is
warning xp users about how stupid vista is,
perhaps he may save some people from switching to crapista vista

I'll bet it never crashed either. And if it did, it didn't need a "restore
point" to get it up again.

I have only spent $10 on gas this entire century (whether it started in 2000
or 2001). I walk or ride my bike. I don't even use public transit. I do have
a drivers license and have been driving since about 1980. I am not including
gas I buy for my lawnmower.
I spend my gas money on coffee.
My first hard drive was only 40 MB. It could only be formatted to 32 MB and
some disk utility had to be used to get the extra space.
My first laptop didn't even have a hard drive, just two floppy drives. 4 MHz
processor (8088 or 8086 processor) 2 bit color, for a total of on, off and 2
shades of green.

You have just inspired me to throw out all my old calendars. After I scan
them into my computer.
Oops, I think I will need to get extra hard drive space to store the scans
and the backups of the scans.

No, they didn't crash that often. But had the same issues as today, the
mechanics of the hard drive. Today's drives are better in this regard.
Often you had to tap a ST506 10mb HD on it's side to get it to spin, you
then knew you had to replace it soon.

Did you need to park the drive before powering off?

Oh you are SOOO wrong!

All computers those days (toaster Macs, Amiga's, Apples, TRS80s, Commodores)
crashed ALL the time.

We expected that of our computers. We were amazed if they stayed up for more
then a couple of days.

Darn kids these days..... With their Interwebs!!!
