PRO-PROJECT CONTINUED
Sleeping Dog:
You Guys ARE Gonna' believe this one!
Just got back from the service call. Windows ME ate the document that my client had been working on for two days. He f@#$ed up and had been saving his only copy to a 1.44 so that he could swap it onto his desktop machine....didn't even save it to the VAIO's HD. Nothing Peter Norton ever wrote could bring it back.......another ME user learns a hard cold lesson. Remember....I have now had FIVE clients in the last four months who have lost major stuff because of ME. (But that's why they pay me the big bucks.)
This is the same client that spent 350 bucks on the latest version of PowerPoint only to discover that you cannot make it play selected video files from a DVD as part of your presentation. It plays a few seconds of it then craps out. DVD's have been around for HOW LONG? PowerPoint has been around for HOW LONG? DUH! Won't work under 98SE, won't work under 2K, won't work under ME, (ha), won't work under XP. They even PAID Microsoft's 35 dollar service charge to have some dumbass there say "I dunno'....sounds like a professional question." Getting "professional questions" answered costs 250 bucks charged to your VISA or MasterCard.
And now you know two more reasons why we are pursuing this project. Professional people need systems and solutions that WORK instead of having to put up with this Microsoft bullshit.
Too bad XP-Boozer isn't around so that I can tell him to go stick his head up a Rhino's ass and breathe deeply. I have been dealing with PC's since the 8086 era. If these stupid people ever realized that they are paying Microsoft to beta-test their bullshit.....I would lose a lot of work.
Have I ranted enough yet?
Sorry....Had to get that out of my system after being called away on a Sunday night.
Peace.....Love.....and Bill Gates can eat shit and die.
Cheers and Beers

rtgwbmsr:
LOL!
I get that all the time. Some people need to LEARN TO FUCKING SAVE! It's bad enough they use Winbloze...you'd think they'd learn after losing 10 doc's to save...their loss, our gain.
I tell them "Save money on hiring people like me and by a Mac." about 25% of them do within a year...I am the master of conversion...LOL
ON TOPIC:
quote:what about this for a partition scheme?:
hda1 swap 128MB
hda2 / 950MB
hdb1 /wine-c (isnt this what choasforages wanted??)
--- End quote ---
Beautiful. Simple. Good.
About a /user partition:
We don't need one...the apps are going on hdb1 right?
Sleeping Dog:
Apps are going on hdb.
You guys are configuring this box....not me. I'm just the "hands that are on". I am not making the decisions....you are by your cooperation and discussion. I just have this hardware and am following your directives.
Sorry about the rant earlier...but it sure felt good to get that out of my system.

Sleeping Dog:
Should I be considering changing my name to "Sleeping Bob"?
If I did, then we would have to put up with "creebob" and "voidbob".
Lets not go there quite yet.
(chuckle........bob)
SD
Sleeping Dog:
You know...."ChoasBob" doesn't quite work either......Oh well......If you can't "Bob" for Apples ....go get a big MAC.....(or at least something that runs LINUX)....
Cheers and Dreams
