brother-in-law, who *is* still messing around with PCs.

We've got one Windows-running PC left in the house, my wife's laptop,
and my server, which runs on Windows Server 2003. I wouldn't know how
to "fix" the laptop, and about all I could do with the server is pop
in more drives.

Now, I'm down to my Macbook Pro...waiting on apple to resolve some
issues with the new iMacs.


If it wasn't for all of the problems with Vista, I would never have gone
to a Mac.


He is better off with the Mac. Buy a Mac and never look back. Buy
Vista and it will not be long before you want XPee back for the performance.

I avoided that by never running Vista. I stayed away from XP until SP2
when they got most of the bugs worked out but six of my nine running
machines are still on W/98 SE.

I learned many years ago in the mainframe business, the smart money is
always running two or three year old software. Pioneers catch all the
arrows.



Again, you are responding to a worthless p.o.s. who is using another's
ID here.

I never had any serious problems with VISTA. I recently installed
Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro, and I'd not having any troubles with *7*,
either.

I'm more than aware that many users had VISTA problems. I simply didn't.


The truth is Vista isn't that bad as long as you buy enough memory for
it, and are surfing and email.

But do things like VMs, video libraries, copy 800GB over the network...
Vista is pig slow. My Linux/UNIX systems have no trouble coping data 5
to 25 times faster than Vista.

Same with disk to disk copy. Put in a TB disk and copy part of the
video library to it and I will litterally get a nights sleep. On UNIX,
takes about 100 minutes.

Ignore that dumb turd who talked about me not having any problems with
Vista. I got tired of that slow pig of an OS, which is the reason I
changed to a MAC

Did what? Pull Don's head out of your ass?
No way. I like my little buddy Don's head right up in my fat ass.

You lying p.o.s. I would never want Don's head up my ass, i prefer him
on his knees with his mouth open.
You are an impostor. I post with a Mac. Only an impostor would post that
because everyone knows that I have an anal fixation, especially for Don.

Well you can have Don, he is everyone's bitch and has been since he was
a child.


Quit talking about my Don like that, you dumfoch little schitt. I have
guns you know.


All of these imposter's need to get a life. I have a very successful
life in rec.boats, you need to do something to make your life as
rewarding as mine.


All of these impostor have made you pretty much insignificant, it is
hilarious. The only one I have blocked is the real Harry, the rest are
just funny... I don't think he is answering much, or finally, everybody
has stopped quoting or dealing with him, I just don't see him at all
lately.. Kinda' miss the fat old man, NOT!!!
