RE: Win95 vs Lose95 -- MIDRANGE-L

John,

I did not say the mainstream had choices, I said you had 
choices.  After all, you do probably have a Computer Science 
degree (or the Equivalent in Experience).  And that is probably 
what it will take to get Linux running (BTW, never having tried 
it, I don't know). And who knows, maybe you'll end up being one 
of the Unix fans.  If nothing else, you'll learn something in 
the process.  And that never hurts (well, except for the pulled 
out hair).

Perhaps I should not have sent the post you that I did.  I was 
not trying to start a flame fest.  That IS why I ignored the 
other responses to my post regarding the Mystery from Redmond vs 
Rochester (both the positive and the negative).

If I have offended you, I apologize.

I see Windows as an Opportunity. You see it as a Curse.

I embrace Windows.  You avoid it.

The question is "Whose Customers will Prosper".  Only time will 
tell.  I suspect it will be mine, but I have been wrong before 
and will be wrong again.

And if nothing else, it is currently the only game in town for 
the Desktop.  Perhaps Java & Thin Clients will take off.  But 
until it does, Windows is the current king of the desktop. 
 Good, Bad or Indifferent, it is a fact of life.  Live with it, 
Learn It and Accept It.  Even IBM has done this.

Bob

RE:     RE: Win95 vs Lose95

Gee bob, I'd thought you'd give me a feasible suggestion to use
maybe like CP/M or something.  Ya, my local Circuit City store
has sooo many shrinkwrapped preinstalled OS's to choose from.

Like that(Linux) would be an option for 100 million home users 
without
a computer science degree.

"You do have choices"  Can I quote you on that bob?   Reminds me 
of the
comment one voter made to another leaving a voting booth in 
Russia
in the 1960's.

Right.  As if.
John

Bob's "workable" suggestion.
So if in your opinion, Win95 is so bad, why do you use it?
Load up one of those "free" os's like Linux.  You do have
choices.

RE:     RE: Win95 - CA/400 session limit

Bob
I'm sitting at home with a Lose95(read WIN95) machine without CA 
and it
locks up at least 3 times a night.  Don'tcha think a 
multi-gazillion dollar
company who spent 5(is it 10?) years developing this thing, 
could make it
not lock up just because a single app hangs?  I know.. its not 
their fault.
(Question - what is the prescribed corrective action to a WIN95 
problem ?
Answer -  FORMAT C: {as was explained to me via phone by the 
support staff})

for CAWin?

Your windows machine crashes on a regular basis?  Remove CAWin
and see how often it crashes.

I think this mystery originates in Rochester MN.

Eric's point is well taken. I agree, although it is irrelevant.
The user likes
to run multiple queries simultaneously to "green screen"
sessions. How
efficient is this? not at all. However, they were doing it with
Win 3.1. Now
they cannot do it with Win 95. Yet another mystery from Redmond.
