Hello Gerald - 

--8<--cut 

GM>>> Well, at the moment, W2K is as flawless as one could hope
GM>>> for with any version of Windows. 

CA>> My install of W2K is really quite good here too. If all
CA>> versions of Windows had been as stable/usable as W2K has
CA>> been for me this echo would've died off long ago. ;-) 

GM> Naw, you'd probably still be here telling everyone:
GM> "Repent! Convert!" ;) 

Long ago, maybe. Now, I doubt that very much. 

--8<--cut 

GM>>> It's not like I visit your tech website everyday (sorry
GM>>> to disappoint you). 

CA>> I'm shocked! 

GM> There are days that I don't even look at the computer --
GM> Work, sleep, eat, and sometimes, life even interferes. <g> 

I hate that. 

GM>>> How often do you update / upgrade the tech website? 

CA>> I just recently tested for broken links and either
CA>> replaced those that were 'broken' or removed them if I was
CA>> unable to locate the same/similar. Update? Not often. I
CA>> try to cover only what I know from personal experience or
CA>> a 'trusted' source that vouches for the
CA>> usefulness/accuracy of information on the webpages. Once
CA>> or twice each year I have 'googled' for information that I
CA>> might have missed long ago. :-) 

GM> Well, that must keep you off the streets and out of the
GM> bingo 

GM> halls for a while.  <grin> At least you do some maintenance.
GM> halls for a while.  <grin>  

I've added links to the DOS http/ftp server software that can
use an 8088 machine, the updated OpenDOS (DRDOS), the updated
Arachne, and added some new mini-linux. I'm probably forgetting
some things but there have been additions here and there. :-) 

GM> Some sites I been to haven't change since 1999 and I can't
GM> find an e-mail address to let them know that everything is
GM> askew -- they don't care. 

Legacy website owners probably don't care or don't care enough
to put in the time to make changes. One reason for my need to
check links are all the legacy websites going offline. Many FTP
servers had entire W31 and DOS directories purged some time
back. It takes time to re-locate the links to the software when
that happens. 

CA>> Right now my information is that 1gig of memory will be
CA>> required but I don't recall installed size of the OS. It
CA>> was quite large though. Many times more than I had
CA>> expected it to be. I have the impression Longhorn will
CA>> require the purchase of a new machine for most people but
CA>> I'm not hearing anything that makes me think the upgrade
CA>> would serve a purpose for a user such as myself. 

GM> I may have seen something about M$ giving out betas if you
GM> were interested in being a sacrificial goat... 

I don't have the hardware for it and no inclination to purchase
said hardware at this time. :-)
