They were told that they should upgrade to a newer operating system... so some of them are upgrading to something that isn't Microsoft. I wonder if Microsoft expects them to upgrade their Windows 98 boxes to Windows 7... John |

Greetings to all.
Never been much for giving (useable) advice, but have come to appreciate this little area for help and insight to the workings of my ole ME op sys.. I started back in the day when you built your own computer and then did the op sys programming by hand. We then moved on to DOS as a common platform for others programs. and then to windows as a platform which was even more common with hundreds of custom programs.. Then somewhere during all that Microsoft got so large as a platform supplier they began to think of themselves as lords of the computer.. "my way or the highway" seemed to be their company motto. with the internet, they have even gotten more grandiose with themselves. (dare I say god like in self promotion) Microsoft even now considers governments should bend the knee to the kings in Redmond.. But I digress, I shall miss the lively banter of truths often found here over how ME should or does work.. ) to quote an old sage, "Live long and Prosper" Till we meet again on some other News Group...

In essence we are left to ourselves with our 'obsolete' systems and , if we intend to keep it, we better know how to operate and/or fix it, if necessary. They simply cannot be bothered anymore That should be understandable, shouldn't it? As for myself, I'm fine with that. But I certainly miss this good company forever. Harry. John |

Thanks for reiterating, Corday, I did miss it, believe it or not.

I was going to suggest that the last person here turns out the lights before
they leave, but then realised that will not be necessary as they will go out the moment MS pulls the plug. They've obviously thought of everything - except their "legacy" customers.
