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.

Anyhow although the old Mac OS is pretty primitive but it does have one nice feature, being able to boot off the system CD with full network access even if the hard drive is totally hosed. It also has built in support for imaging (sort of).

Knoppix = Linux bootable from CD, with network and X-windows working.

Gimp = free Photoshop-like package in most Linux distributions

I use a mix of Solaris and Linux at work, with a somewhat vestigial Win2K machine on my desk.

At home, it's a mix of Suse, Redhat, and XP.
