I persistantly use 3 OSs, Win98SE, Mac 9, and X.

I HATE XP, and OSs 9 and X are not stable with my music apps. Win98 isn't a marketing pipeline, and takes less than 3% system resources to run.

Whoah, a Trash 80!

And I thought I had that beat with my Atari 130XE and IBM PCjr (with the good, non-Chiclets keyboard).

Almost bought a Commodore 64, but I wanted to "upgraded" to dual 5.25" 360K drives on my Jr instead.

Windows XP Pro on most of my systems.

I have Windows 2003 Advanced Server, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2003 Web Edition, Windows 2000 Server, Fedora Core, SuSE 9.2, and Novell Netware 4.11 all running somewhere.

Never used a Mac, other than to support the file systems on NT systems.


(Yes, I am a geek. But it pays the for the 914 parts.)

My first "computer" was an IBM selectric typewriter that I added solenoids and an electronic keyboard so that it could be used as a dumb terminal for a mainframe. I progressed from there to a Commodore Vic20, Apple IIE, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, and a bunch of different XT and AT clones over the years. The first thing I had with a hard drive was an XT with a 20mb hard drive that was the size of a lunchbox.

OK I've got 1 WinXp box and 3 Linux boxes, two of which are laptops. I'd be all LInux if it weren't for the wife (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

My best,

XP-Pro for personal use at home and on laptop.

At work...

One Fedora Core 3 Linux box running as a Samba file server
Two SCO Unix servers running applications
38 PCs running XP-Home or XP-Pro

Computer history....

TRS-80 Model 4
Laser 128 (Apple II clone)
386sx-20 with 20 mg hard drive and 32 or 64 mb of memory.
Probably a twenty or or so built-from-scratch PCs (various flavors of 386s, 486s, Pentiums, Pentium II, III, IVs, and a few AMD machines).

I have a dual-core 64-bit AMD machine built for fun running Windows-64, but it is not stable enough for business use yet.

I had one of those...my first computer. Had the 'good' keyboard AND the chick-lets one! Came with 'Kings Quest'...boy...that one purchase changed my life.

Oh...back to the subject at hand...

At work:

Server: Solaris 9

Workstations: Fedora Core 2 with Win XP running through VMWare.

I like Linux, and would run it at home as well, but I am sick and tired of not being able to use peripherals like DVD burners.

It is a real pain to burn a dvd on linux though. At least the last time I did
it was. You had to write a whole image first to your disk drive. then
burn the image to your dvd/cd. This might have change now though.

XP pro, games, internet surfing, watch dumb movies from internet
etc... even down loading is easier (bit torrent) etc.., hooking up
stupid usb stuff (scanner, mp3 players, obdII scanners, cameras, game
controllers, digi pad), much better hardware support (video cards)

LINUX is great for x workstation, apache, mysql, network trouble shooting,
scripting. I just love the tools on it. Just simple stuff like find, grep, awk,
dig, nslookup, command recall.

Do they even make a decent game for linux like gt legends, call of duty, etc...
The only game I play on linux is the chess game. The graphics on that is
like from 80's.

I must admit windoz has come a long way. Do you remember the days
when it seemed like you had to reboot every other day?
