Welcome Matman_42

Don't be a stranger most of the dogs here won't bite. Most.


Just wanted to say i finally got it to work. the server must be very overwelmed at times.

If Windows was priced reasonably to start with i would have been more inclined to buy it earlier. at $40 i would have bought 7 copies and used it instead of linux on my seti boxes.

Yeah well, I've always wondered why Microsoft doesn't offer it's OS as substantially cheaper prices, atleast to those of us who study our butts off to support their buggy overpriced, I mean great, user friendly software.

Ah well, we can't have everything.

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure and has a lower TCO, than linux.

Works well I just ordered 1 and I'll order another tomorrow.

Excellent work digging up that bone fear_nothing!

Well done.

Random, you're right. If MS would sell their products at reasonable prices, they could have a steady stream of income AND a solid, loyal customer base.
