I bet I still have copies of Windows 1 on 5.25" and Windows 2 as well.....
I've never ever seen them in action.  :-?
Which 'computers' used an ordinary cassette tape for the programs? They took forever & a day to load anything up.
Very good 'Omega' trivia question!  ;) ;D

No, I'm being serious.  There's a hint in there.  :D

Hmmm, V3 and V4 Netware...  ...great OS until ARCserve abends them. Serious architecture problems, which they tried fixing in V5 (not entirely successfully, hence I suspect, the move to Linux).

I remember a troublesome V2.2 box I used to have to support in Harmondsworth. It had a software mirrored SYS: only that mirror never used to survive a reboot. So any planned update used to take hours of frigging about to get it back up. Always a stressful time working on that one.  I remember the day we decommissioned that one with some fondness!  Always scorn now at software mirroring. Which is a bummer, seeing as I predominately support Sun servers  :'(

I always remember when i had just started working at burmah castrol head office as a contractor support guy.....the IT manager was showing me the server room.....he showed me the main file server for the company....all compaq servers. I pointed out that the server had a problem with one of its disks.....easy one really, it had its error light on!! He replied he knew and had a replacement disk sitting on top the server waiting to be replaced during downtime.....i said but its got a hardware raid hasnt it....he replied yes....so i said...well just unplug the disk and bang the new one in, it wont mind. He looked a bit unsure....and esp as i was a 'newbie' ......but he did.....unplugged the faulty disk and slotted the new one in.......you should have seen his face....when all the disk drives put their access lights on and server ground to a halt.....3/4 secs later raid controller had recovered and was rebuilding the new disk......i think the IT manager pooped his pants when everything stopped for a few secs  ;D ;D

Yeah, the Proliant stuff with SMART controllers are decent enough. Except when you get procedures (written by pen-pushers) given to the thicko ops guys that say when a disk fails, just reseat it. Then, because that doesn't fix it (obviously), they reseat all disks. Causing 100% data loss. Tossers  >:(

Ressurecting this "old" thread... ;)

Just installed IE7...  :-?

Irritating me already! Why oh why can I not move my menu bar to the top, it is in the middle with the address bar above it and that REALLY bugs me!  >:(

Improvement?.... I remain to be convinced...

Wait until Vista is forced upon you - that really will piss you off.  Until you've used it for a few weeks, then you go back to an XP machine again....   ....same, I suspect with IE7 - once you get used to it, IE6 will seem awkward.  Not that I think IE7 is ready for mainstream yet...

I am usually very slow to adopt new versions of windows and windows programs. Main reason for this is cost  :o and also I prefer to let others find out what all the problems are!

Decided to try ie7 on the desktop and thankfully I still have 6 on the laptop (which I mostly use).

This just looks more like firefox.... and that is no compliment!

Oh and WTF is this "allow access to clipboard" thing that pops up every time I post now!!  >:(

Funny thing LB.....is i installed IE7 as well earlier......just outa interest.....i had to go back 5 pages to find this thread on how to turn to off the annoying clipboard message when posting.

I got rid off the menu bar with yahoo/etc on it....if thats what you mean?

All i got now is address bar at the top.........search web underneath...set to use google....and fav's/web page tabs under that
