Windows 98 Or Higher...


Recommended Posts

I figured you fixed this problem by now. I've got XP pro, you can even use my key :D (my key hasn't been around the block, IT IS THE BLOCK).

I'll bring my XP Home discs next week. You have your activation code right? You can't use mine.

No. I don't have an activation code. And I'm relatively sure that my ex won't let me have his.

I just can't seem to get used to Linux. I really tried, SG. I keep trying to like it for the sake of my son, who installed it.

It takes getting used to. Different command interface, syntax, and file system are the largest speed bumps in the learning curve. My advice is to make a partition and have it dual boot windows or linux. Gives your kid a new project and makes you both happy.

Any chance anyone else can make use of this offer?? I'd like to upgrade a laptop from Win2000 Pro to Win XP Pro.

O.k. I don't usually tell someone they should pirate software.

But take my situation. Have a perfectly legal eMachine that came with a perfectly legal copy of XP. Never used, was in perfect condition, stored properly, etc.

So I'm having so much trouble with this PC, the only option really left to me is a full factory restore. No problem, right?

I spend days transferring all my files to an external hard drive. Make sure everything is ready to go. I pop in that CD and start the restore.

And after about 5 all-nighters trying to get it to work, along with the generous help of a DGN'er tecchie with MOUNTAINS of patience, the bottom line is - the disk is corrupted and totally unuseable.

Fuck it.

So I open up Bitcomet and snag this.

It works - perfectly. PER. FECT. LY.

Up to you. But with one change. Screw Bitcomet. I use Azureus Vuze now. MUCH faster.

Yeah I've got lots of RAM and my hard disk is huge!

OK I lied about the ram, it's only 512 MB but I do plan to upgrade soon.

I heard Marc only had a floppy disk though :p

would any of the ladies here care if i sniffed their packets?

I like to fsck all night too.

(ok I'm out of computer related double entendres)

You know this thread reminds me of the time I told SInn...

Come on over and get on my lap top

I got 5.5 gigabytes of power

You can play with my joy stick, flip my dongles and we can talk about my pop up

Come on baby check out my full size tower

You want to go download?

That's cool take a megabyte, but I'm still going to ram my hard drive into your main frame

Afraid of a virus? I know how to use a Trojan

Lemme give you a few key strokes and...

Just what I thought, straight in your back door

YES!!! I'm gonna send my data burst across your back bone

That's right people I know how to server.
