Hello Tom - 

CA>> Windows, since W98SE, hasn't been all that bad IMO. I have
CA>> been able to use it to produce many interesting results
CA>> that entertain me and many others. I'm referring to
CA>> websites, music, digital photography, and now even video
CA>> (home movies) burned to DVDs.

TW> I agree that Win98Se hasn't been too bad except for a few
TW> glitches like hte "Failure to Shutdown" problem(The MS
TW> patch is basicly a Joke and does little to nothing for the
TW> problem)that pops up once in a while. 

TW> BUT Win ME is a nightmare. I can see why it died such a
TW> Quick Reath in the Market. And WinXP is just a convoluted
TW> mess of problems lurking ot Biute you just ot show yuo Who
TW> is in Charge. 

Typical users don't 'tweak' the OS and don't add/remove
hardware EVER. The average user isn't experiencing the same
level of frustations that you are. 

TW> And that dsoen't even address my Anger at being Treated
TW> like a Thief with the Assainine Activiation crap. IT only
TW> inconvineces the HONEST people and does absolutly nothing
TW> to deter pirating the OS by the "Professionals". :-( :-( 

CA>> The oft mentioned OSX from Apple may be easier to use for
CA>> these purposes but at twice the price my question would be
CA>> "Why?". I see no need to pay twice the price to achieve
CA>> comparable results.

CA>> Linux, OTOH, hasn't had the ability to produce the same
CA>> media with the same ease and even now probably cannot. I
CA>> say probably because I am no linux 'guru'. I read the
CA>> reviews as new linux software becomes available and trust
CA>> those who write the reviews to be relatively unbiased.

TW>>> And before anyone asks what is my Excuse I concider
TW>>> myself just as STUPID as the rest of the Leming Crowd
TW>>> that uses Windows. 

CA>> I _used_ to write a good deal of the software that I used
CA>> on a daily basis. Most computer owners do NOT program in
CA>> _any_ computer language. Most people who drive an
CA>> automobile cannot do their own repairs and do not build
CA>> their own automobiles (which I can _also_ do). Nothing
CA>> wrong with that, it is 'normal'.

TW>>> My only rationalization is that I am Old and Very tired
TW>>> and am not about to try and learn another Operating
TW>>> system. 

CA>> I can definitely relate to that. I too am 'tired'. I am
CA>> tired of being told how great an OS is and then discovering
CA>> it's incomplete and parts of it have _never_ worked
CA>> properly. I refer here to dialup internet access as a
CA>> GLARING ommission since over half of the USA continues to
CA>> use dialup internet access. In the past I have rewritten
CA>> the non-functional code to get the OS online (OBERON and 3
CA>> different mini-linx installs). I'm having a difficult time
CA>> trying to convince myself to do this anymore for ANY OS
CA>> ever again. In short, I am tired.

TW>>> Although I did make make some trial incursions into Linux
TW>>> but soon realized that I was in WAY over my head and it
TW>>> was just not going to work out for me. 

CA>> Based on what I've experienced I would have to agree with
CA>> you that linux is not going to work out for you but I would
CA>> add that it's not going to work out for quite a few others
CA>> as well. Few 'gurus' of (name) OS want to spend time fixing
CA>> the 'basic' functions and without those basic functions
CA>> working the OS is a piece of CRAP.
