ME? Gods... ME isn't an operating system; it's an expensive way to break your computer.
And, no, I don't think I'll keep 2000 'til the end of time. Just 'til the universe starts contracting. If it does. Or until I have a reason to switch.

Ya, it is rather a pain in the ass. I just liked the symmetry of the statement.
If only 'for' were a palyndrom, it would've been the most beautiful sentence ever created.

Erm... Even if "for" were a palindrome, you'd have to end the sentence w/ "em", not "me".
It's a palindrom on the word-level, though, if not the letter-level. "Son, I am able," she said, "though you scare me." "Watch," said I, "beloved," I said, "watch me scare you, though." Said she, "Able am I, son."

I'm on Windows XP Home Edition here on the new compy, and I've actually been pleasantly surprised by it. I expected to have nothing but troubles, but so far it's okay. I still prefer 98, but once I changed XP to at least look familiar, we started to get along QUITE nicely

Topher (=Fabrux, right?) -> Go to the Start Menu properties, click on one of those buttons.. (don't know what they're called in English, but in the Dutch version they are called "Aanpassen...", but I doubt that's very useful for you ). Somewhere in the next dialog there should be two fold-out menus, one for Internet and one for E-mail.

That button'd be labelled "modify / change / adapt / alter" in the English version

XP is nothing more than an epidemic scourge. It must be wiped out.
Thus, I propose that anyone using XP to access these forums have their Flare Membership revoked permanently and their ISP contacted about their malicious activities. Let us stand up against this horror of an operating system.

WinXP == Win2k + 1 == NT 6.

I can't tell if Seiggy is joking, but I shall quote both him and Charles for the purposes of a smart-aleccy response.

Unless you want to run any piece of software written in the past 5 years. (The current version of ICQ doesn't even support Win 95 anymore.)
"Ain't nothin' wrong with NT."
Actually, I might be misreading this. You're either saying that because XP is essentially NT plus 9x, it's goot, because NT is good. Or you're saying that NT 4 is good. Which it is, unless you want to run any new game ever.
Good to see that Microsoft's tactic of calling NT 5 "2000" in order to get more people to buy it worked though. I can't see Tim having bought NT 5 myself.

Windows 2000 is what Windows *should* be. I've never had a problem, a crash, or anything go wrong with it. I've left my computer on for weeks without rebooting.

Believe me, when it comes to Americans and laziness the bar can't be high enough.
