So I'm about to reformat my computer for the Nth time in three days.

So far I've done:

Windows 2000 > Debian Linux > Freebsd 5.3-RELEASE > Windows XP Professional

And now I'm about to go back to Windows 2000. I think my pile of shit box is on its last legs. :<

It's at times like this when I wish I still had my old SparcStation.

I'll sell you an all in one pc.

PIII 800 with DVD-CD-R, 40G HD and 512Megs o' the ram.

Buy a Mac! They don't let you down.

Supporting over 300 of them, I can attest to the contrary.

And when they DO let you down - parts are exorbitant.

Sorry!!

Well, they will let you down sometimes - they're like any computer, but IMHO they do it less often and are easier to fix when they do. I've been using/repairing them since I was a kid and I much prefer to work on fixing someone's Mac than their PeeCee.

Ha anyway, let's no get into another Mac/PC debate. What's the weather like there BTW? I'm sitting by the pool with my jack and coke thinking about you all

Anyone know if kn0wledge made it back from his last reformat? Is he away, or just offline? If someone has non-internet contact details for him could you let him know the Panopticon tour is on the 13th at 7pm. I need to know if he's coming or if I can offer his place to someone else.

Reformating is fun......Once I did 4 installs of xp pro in a week just because I didnt like the way i installed some drivers

What an odd thing to do , never mind derive pleasure from it.
