I have a many problems wth my newer(?) Win computers which would be tedious and off-topic on this forum. The devil is Win 98 and the deep blue sea is the MS OS's up to just before MSXP. Is there any forum which deals wth this era. To me "dual core" is an oil-rig term.
In a way I'm similar to some of the younger members of the forum who on occasion ask questons which seem absurd to those of us who grew up in the 1970 to 95 era. I find myself on this side of Win 3.1 and Win 98 stll frustrates me regularly. Similarly my Apple life tends to end after OS7.5. Altho Next 3.3 and Open Step was the beginning of OSX.
I can work my way about Amigas, Atari STs and their 8-bit predecessors or Commodores and DECs but the distance between that and much of the central IT era tends to baffle me.
Which is why I need a forum which focuses on the period after the Pentium evolved and before XP appeared on the scene. MS$ does tend to put out a new OS (of sorts) every couple of years, and that is the nature of the merchantising beast. Not for scientific advancement but much like Detroit's games with the appearence and disappearence of fins or horsepower. It delights me to see them all writhe today.
Of course any such forum would also have to put up with my loquationess occasionally as exemplified in the above discourse.
