Anyone like Me?
Since here is the Windows Me user board, Iw ant to ask you something. Do you
like Me? Because I like it. No matter what they say about it. It ran on a 1996 PC, designed for Windows 95. And it ran better than Windows 98. The only problem was with Windows Media Player and Movie Maker, caused by not enough memory or something like that, but that was OK, since the machine was older even then. I don't hate Windows Me, I even like it, no matter that it is the most hated Windows OS ever. I actually have seen more problems in XP Home than in Me. XP Pro XP Home. XP Home is worse thgan Me in my opinion, whether XP Pro is better, but I just never got to like Windows XP. |

I think you're preaching to the converted here!
Most of the viewers here are diehard ME fans. The majority of us upgraded to XP many years ago, simply because most of the software we wished to use would not run on ME. As much as I like ME, I can't keep an outdated OS running for sentimental reasons! I still have my ME box, it's not been switched on since November 2005. George Gee "cool_boy" wrote in message ...

Mine gets switched on more than that George, but not as much since Kelly
left home but it was handy when John had problems with his machine, at least he could still get internet access. I don't allow anyone on mine g Joan -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "George Gee" wrote in message ...

I have no problems whatsoever using WinME fulltime, which of course is
somewhat restricted, considering my personal circumstances. It more than satisfies my needs for the time being and as long as it has broader support. Eventually we all have to move up a notch to keep up with the times. In 3 words: "I like it". Harry. "cool_boy" wrote in message ...

My main computer for everyday Internet access:
E-Machines EMonster 600 MHz Pentium III Memory 128 MB 8 Gig HD (4 Gig is enough) Win ME IE 6.0.2800.1106 Unofficial ME Service Pack AVG 7.5.524 Free Edition Spybot S&D 1.5.2.20 Tiny Personal Firewall 2.09 Driver 2.08 Primary word processor is Wordpad (included on 98SE and ME install options) Open Office freeware Quicktime 6.5.1 Winamp 2.91 (From an old AOL CD) Have to reboot about twice per day due to Windows ME memory leak (only 128M RAM!) This computer, like many others, used an Intel I/O chipset that was put in thousands of computers of all makes before it was discovered to be flawed and unable to handle DMA access of hard disks and CDROM correctly. I think it has some of the notorious bad capacitors which crept into almost every brand of computer made during that era. http://www.badcaps.net/ident/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague |

I have three computers running it, including a very old 133 MHz Micron, and it works SO well. My XP computers and a Dell Vista are fine too, but ME is right there with them. I've heard many elitists trash ME for strange reasons. I even have ME as a virtual PC on my XP systems whenever I wish to run legacy programs. EW |

I'm the I.T. guy in my house. My wife uses Vista and I get by with ME.
Frankly, it's the operator, not the system that results in who's having "problems". Anyone still on ME should put in as much RAM as possible. Don't overclock and operate in less than 80F and your good to go for another 5 years. -- Corday "N.

No matter what they say about it. It ran on a 1996 PC, designed for Windows 95. And it ran better than Windows 98. I found that Windows 98 would quit when free resources fell below 30%, but Window Me could be recovered, about half of the time, if you caught it while free resources were 10%, or more. In that respect, I considered Windows Me a better OS than Windows 98.

XP Home is worse thgan Me in my opinion, whether XP Pro is better, but I just never got to like Windows XP. Windows Me is a "day computer". If you shut it down at the end of the day, it would start up fine the next time you ran it. Alas, when I replaced the old HP Pavilion 6745C (Windows Me) with a new HP Pavilion m7590n, (Windows MCE 2005), and relegated the old computer to running an MTA (Mercury/32), I found out that Windows Me does not work well in the long haul. If it runs longer than two days, free resources drop below 10%, and at that level, even Windos Me falls over irrecoverably. Windows MCE 2005 (which is basically Windows XP Pro with Media Center applications, and no Windows Domain capability) can run 24/7. It is my intent, so long as I am using that aging Pavilion as a mail server, to either upgrade it to Windows XP Home edition (so I can continue to run Mercury/32), or, maybe Linus (so I can run a Linux-based mail server). My use of that old mule is taxing it severely. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |
