M$ to micro-manage your computer

one would have to say nicely said calum, and my another thing assuring what you say, is who the hell pays 2500 for a piece of desktop x86 trash. most people reaserch heavily into major investments. like when my air-conditionar shitted up. instead of my parents rushing out to blindly buy a new one, the reaserched alot of airconditionares. same theory with computers. besides, what x86 machine you /*o, when i say x86 i am talking about pentium class machines, like the pentium 4 and amd athlon*/ buy today, will be obsolete almost tommorow. besides, do i sound like a psychic, if you were to be smart and list all the hardware by manufacture/model in your machine i could analyze the situation and recommend a working solution. if you need to know how to find out what hardware is in your computer just ask us.
Calum:
yes well a lot of morons would not research that purchase, and a lot more have got too much fucking money anyway.
As you say, a sensible person who really wanted an alternative would present as much information as possible, and ask a question based on those resources. Since Mr Snout has already made his purchase i suspect he only came here to prove to himself that windows was the best there was, and that nothing else could compare, since he wanted to feel good about putting all that money into something.
Having said that, Mr Snout's earlier post in this thread raised a lot of good issues and contributed to the discussion well, it's just a shame that he got all reactionary over my reply. Guess he doesn't believe in free speech so much after all. Well, i am certainly dissapointed. Many people who sign up on these boards are obvious dumbasses from the word go. It annoys me to see a dumbass emerge from a hencetoforth sensible seeming individual.

nah, maybe hes probably just stressed. when shit don't work when they dish out money they get eractic. like when my neighbor bought a $300 router for his home network. he couldn't get it figured out and was having difacluty even getting back to square one. when he called me after 24 hours nonstop of playing with it he was bothered to say the least. when i got there it took me 20 minutes to figure out what he had done, it turned out he got everything but the last few steps right, which is pretty good for never messing with networking. when it did work he was very happy to say the least. and wheres creedon when we need him to talk about computer "jocks" and computer geeks. computer arn't hard to learn, they just take patience. which at $2500+ patience is hard
and for the xp to win 98 networking, i never got that to work either for my nieghbor either
psyjax:
Computers take patience yes. But with windows you need to be a sado/masachist. Nothing you do can get that pile of garbage to mind.
None the less, I must say these posts have been wondrafly entertaining and I hope Mr. Snout will come back for more :D
Seriously... I do hope he tries the alternatives and stops taking things to seriously. After all, we are just people on a webboard, nothing but words on screen. Why get worked up over it?
