From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:COMPLETE XP MELTDOWN
My home PC has completely melted down subsequent to multiple automatic "upgrades" from Microsoft that failed to install. System repair crashed. Dirty install crashed. I fear all is lost. I am posting this from my wife's PC while diagnostics run on mine.
This will take all my free time to fix. I apologize for the lack of posting.
UPDATE (9:00PM): Nothing wrong with my predictions so far. Ultimately had to reformat and start from scratch. My last two months of email is gone, including a variety of codes etc., needed to reinstall various utilities.
My shoulder has developed some sort of problem from leaning over my computer, or from flipping the bird in the general direction of Seattle.
I'm a mess. The WTC special is tivo-ing upstairs and I've had it with PCs for a while.

You mean MS put out a product that 1. Doesn't work the way it should. 2. Is unreliable and 3. Requires multiple patches that don't do what they're supposed to?
Next you'll be telling me the Bush is an idiot and Al Gore didn't really invent the internet.
I always deny Windows XP's requests to download its automatic updates. Better to wait a few months to make sure they are stable and then install any crucial security stuff manually.
Get a Mac and use OSX. You actually have to make an effort to crash the OS! Comps melting down blows, no matter what os you are using. Good luch getting it sorted.
It takes a complete idiot to crash XP. I have never had a problem with it in the 2+ years I have been running it. People like you'll are the target market group for Apple. Thank God only 4% of us Americans are in that Apple demographic. Funny, it matches their market share too. I am a great admirer of Linux and use it daily beside my XP, which goes to show I am not prejudiced, just smart enough to use both. Linux is great, although similar to the Mac OS's, you don't have to buy some silly looking eyeball on a half golf ball to run it. When Apple lets go of the "our equipment is so perfect that only an engineer can build one (spell engineer, green-card plug-in monkey-at-at an assembly station) Then by damn I'll buy one and build it. So quit sniveling and run down to your local fruit stand and buy an Apple, you owe it to yourself.
