Default Re: OT = How Does Shrapnel Stay In Business

Saxon, your Windows experience has little in common with what mine has been. I've heard Plug and Play referred to more often as "plug and pray", and it's one of the numerous Windows "innovations" that other OSes had earlier and working better. I only see uninstall work properly about half the time.
To me, Windows seems more like a fascistic "you will do things Our Way or else" setup than a democracy.

It seems like people are finally catching on that upgrading hardware every two to three years isn't really necessary, though. PC sales are generally flat or even declining, depending on the manufacturer.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
