Re: where is everyone,

I was beginning to wonder the same thing.  Speakup is one of my
favorite lists.  A lot of "fresh air" - none of that windows-only crap
you see and hear everywhere else.:)

Hey I discovered another great plus for linux over that other OS.
Several times recently I encountered a situation where the BIOS had
trouble auto detecting a drive.  When booting with DOS/windows, it
simply hangs! when I boot with a linux boot disk, the machine comes up
fine and it can read all available drives without incident.  Linux
doesn't need BIOS to read the drives apparently.  I have a dual boot
system here that only boots linux now:).  I wonder how long I should
wait to take that into the shop and fix the BIOS problem just so I can
get into winblows!  this actually might be a good test to see how long
I can go without getting into winblows.  But then again, I can cheat
by using the windows environment at work to get into those java laced
websites I need to, I guess.

Hello,

	Yeah it has been quiet.  So you don't like those other lists with 
all the windows stuff?  Heh.  You must have lost focus and now you are 
engaged in an illegal operation or is it just that memory fault fo mine?  
Grin.

I'm on the Blindy list which is a pretty good group.  A good mix of
linux/winblows users.

My system was going to be a dual boot system until my old hard drive
with the DOS stuff on it refused to spin up when I moved it from my
older system into this one.  I had only a little time to work with a
sighted assistant, so I threw this system together without a master
hard drive.  I'm not sure what othre OS's would do with this mess,
but with LINUX I boot from a floppy and run everything from the lone
slave who hasno master.  It seems to be working quite well like this,
so I plan to leave it like it is indefinitely.
