I forgot to mention that the Epson USB spooler driver sometimes aborts
with an error message when starting windows, so you have to reboot
(I still use win 98SE).

Oh, see I never had that problem using Windows XP.
I used my brothers windows 98 the other day to try and help him resolve a
missing dll file.
It only made me realize how much better windowsXP truly is, and I am more
thankful
for having it as an option. We sometimes put down Bill Gates, but if you
keep up with
the latest software and hardware, they really do make progress for us.

Do you remember he said that the internet was nothing?
And recently he also said that DVD was out....
What he would likely like to see, is that you pay every time you watch a movie
(get it from a server).
Now they are boasting their multimedia PC, bah I have had multimedia on the
PC for many years.
Same with his software, Linux is way ahead, he is trying to cach up.
There is an old saying about Unix:
'Those who critize it, are bound to reinvent it'.
Because it is evolutionary.
No, Gates even bought MSDOS, which was a quick and dirty imitation of CP/M.
He mimicked Netscape's succes with internet exploder, his exploder's security
is a disaster...
No, Linux and open source anytime.
Gates is just a software terrorist.

Jan,

Hi, I didn't mean to set you off, LOL.
I just meant Bill Gates, who is Running Microsoft the company, not
necessarily a person who invents anything.
Linux might be great, don't know I never tried it. I am happy with my
current software so have no need to look for
other platforms. I like Adobe products and especially the stability of
Premiere Pro which only runs on XP.
Basically because it needs the power of a modern OS.
That's all I really meant, that to use the latest version of software which
has bug fixes and more power that you need a modern up to date OS, and for
me that is Windows XP over Windows 98.
But if you are more happy with Linux, that is Great for you.
I am sure we can all get along happily together on the net which isn't OS
specific.
