kinzelQuestion:
is there anything on your computer you don't want your boss/ex-boyfriend/hard-drive-mugger to know? Are you using MS-Vista?
Well there, in the hopes of keeping you safe from yourself, and possibly in the hopes that information will make them strong, MS has included a snoopable file-stuffing system that records your data-access patterns in fine-detail. This has lawyers frightened...

This is another good reason to really cook your hard-drive before getting rid of your computer. My ghod, if people could see my rough drafts....
Meanwhile,
LUC2 is suffering yet another delay while I fight with some kind of embedded-junk from old word processors. Bleah. Meanwhile Tom Peters is rightfull chomping at the bit .. his cover is ready to go. I'll get a preview online RSN.
Fledgling for tomorrow is ... not yet at a point where Rolanni can go over it. Maybe by tomorrow morning at this time... sigh.
To work, to work...

2007-07-15 18:01 (UTC)I'd sorta, kinda, got used to XP and liked it mostly until the updates tried to convince me to install their spyware. Maybe I'll go back to 98SE or try to learn Linux.
Windows 98SE usage in the future

Not a doable thing. Since many of the peripheral devices like the new SATA hard drives have no drivers for Windows 98SE. Also MS isn't supporting SE98 much longer.
However, I believed you can better than Vista performance with a current system with Windows XP Pro 64-bit OS. As much of the current business and manufacturing software will not work with Vista (eg. Autocad), MS will be force to maintained XP pro for a quite awhile. The Windows XP Pro 64-bit is designed for the Intel Pentium 4 and the AMD Athlon 64 CPUs. It should also work with the current lineup of multi-core CPUs. It can address up to 16 exabytes of memory.
Get a copy of Windows XP Pro 64-bits OS while it's still available.
