Hey John,
That too!!
Ron thanks for the concern, truth being told I was about to take this computer and throw it out in the street and run it over, I am not kidding, just call and ask Remy if I blew my cool a few days ago with this computer.
Been to the computer store with it 7, count SEVEN times since last Saturday and it still does not work right.
I also have spent over 18 hours so far with Microsoft and they still cannot figure out why their programs are crashing the computer, hey I told them it is Xmas time and Billy boy wants more $$$.
But seriously folks, this has really got them boggeled, I have a completely new hard drive, (2) and a new full version of Windows 98 second edition, a clean install and still the problems are happening, go figure that one out.
All I can say is I am about 65% ready to trash all MS stuff and go buy a Mac computer, they may not offer a lot of programs but I have never heard of anyone having problems with them.
I will say this, if your not running Windows XP DO NOT BUY or INSTALL OUTLOOK 2002, it is truthfully NOT compatible with anything other then XP. I know, that was one of the biggest things that caused my computer to crash and I lost a lot of data, worst of it is my QuickBookPro files, yes all my invoices, customer list and well, the whole 9 yards. Please don't say why did you not back it up, I try but the zip drive well, that is another story.
Lost it all at this time for that matter, Email addresses, personal addresses, websites, you name it I lost it. ( not a happy camper right now)
NOTE:
If I am here one minute and gone the next then Microsoft error message knocked me off again, even in chat but that is not installed yet.

I have just installed Red Hat-along with StarOffice. Now I have a DOS box, Windows 2000 and now Linux. I like what I see with Linux-however I am still in the "What is this" stage. Look at Linux-It looks and acts like Windows(from time to time).

David I am going to look into Red Hat and might try it on the removable hard drive as a test, if I like it then I just might switch over.
What really bugs me is Microsoft, they are suppose to KNOW their own products and yet they are baffled as to why what is happening is happening.
All I ask is for a new computer from them since this new one is now worthless. Face it, new hard drives, new software, new everything and still it happens.
I wonder if the motherboard and bios can harbour viruses? That is about the only thing I can think of it being and not sure if Norton checks for that or not.
Hey I did get my address book and web sites, Email and such back so far.
Little by little I think I will survive if those "rednecks" stop pestering me
Ok so I enjoy hearing from them, after all Dan S and Bigboy is country brothers, word has been around the mountain about that.

So if they are country brothers, does that mean that mom is still their sister??
