My Hewlett @ss Packart (yes that language is necessary). Is acting up again. It's having the same problems it did last year. Last Summer it took HP 3 months to fix it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I'm going to see if I can get them to replace it-they refused to do that last time. In the mean time my internet access might be limited. Of course it's not as if we need a huge team of moderators. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Needless to say-I'm building my next computer.

It's got Mac OS9 which I swear is just like windows 3.0 or 3.11.  It's so hard to use when you're used to windows '95 style/xp.  I don't know how these computers are considered easier to use.

Macs are very popular among artists, but not engineers. They appeal to a very different mindset.

A few years back, we had to use a Mac to reproduce a customer problem. "The" Mac guy was gone, and even with a whole group of engineers standing around it we were really struggling with operating it. I'm sure a 4 year old child would have been able to help us. Surely there was config file buried in there somewhere that we could edit (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heck, I feel put out when I have to limp along with Windoze instead of Linux.

"How many engineers does it take to......"? ....nevermind.

I have 5 computers at home. I've built them all.4 on Windows, one on Linux, 2 routers (one wireless, one with print server for the laser printer), and more parts, cables and assorted crap than I can count.

I really like Linux, but it can be "less than user friendly" sometimes and I've not had the time to sit down and really learn it like I should. Maybe I'll do that after I get moved in a month or so.
