Re: Did it jump, fall or was it pushed.

Hey Alan,

really, I´d look into using Linux. Of course have various
live-CD´s laying around. A great way to save a crashed
windows box....

I just meant to say I personally can´t find the time to invest
in migrating from Windows to MacOS or Linux.

I allready find it hard to get any work done at all instaed
of constantly keeping track of the health status of my boxes.
It´s too distracting allready. I *need* to work, not install things....

Cheers

tim
