Oh I know, I was just commenting on the AMOUNT of software available compared to the PC. Hell, I can pretty much do everything I need to do on a PC with Linux, and for free no less ( I don't know about digital video editing ). I don't really game on PC's anymore, that's what I have consoles for.Quote:

His solution is to find a useable XP CD that he can actually install from. I've given him a couple ways to do this via PM, hopefully he'll be able to obtain one and get his machine running again.
Well if your dumb enough to pay anything for tech support, while connected to the largest knowledge base in the world, the internet, you deserve what you get.Quote:

Agreed. But, once a user has an OEM machine up and running the first thing he should do is create a start up disk in case anything goes wrong.Quote:
