In the tri-city<BR/>area of Washington where the big<BR/>Hanford Nuclear complex is, there are thousands of physicists, nuclear types, engineers, mathematicians..and all the computer shops have LINUX. Not sure if it is superior, the PhDs are cheap, or just weird...but Microsoft is a dirty word. heh hehBB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-18425391692897691602008-09-30T03:03:00.000-07:002008-09-30T03:03:00.000-07:00Have you tried Linux at all?

I just can't afford to by a new 8 ink archival printer, and cables, and, and, and a new Adobe PS and etc. programs. I'll have to wait a year or so before I can afford my next machine as it is now. I would have bought the same desk top thing from Dell loaded with XP if they had offered it then. Now I'm so fed up, that I don't want to screw around with any of them anymore. I'll limp along on the old machine until the mother croaks. I'm not a computer geek. I'm of the plug and play consumer type, so this has been a painful experience. I bought my crap directly from Dell. If I had bought it from a store I would have taken the parts back and said it is all yours. Imagine if you had to change out nine or ten components in every new car you bought. Those would be lemons would they not?drlobojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167065726194359838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-81551716082013627082008-09-29T11:21:00.000-07:002008-09-29T11:21:00.000-07:00At http://photodude.com/2007/04/04/how-reid-buys-a...At http://photodude.com/2007/04/04/how-reid-buys-a-new-pc<BR/>we note<BR/>"“Dell is bringing XP back. Amid significant customer demand, the computer maker said on Thursday that it has returned to offering the older Windows version as an option on some of its consumer PCs.”<BR/>...you suppose they got other letters like yours?BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.com
