Duaine, There is no OS that doesn't fail. I've worked with several... AIX, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000m XP, Mac OS 9, Mac OS 10, RedHat Linux, SuSE Linux, HP-UX, OS-360, OS-370, MVS-ESA, z/OS. Each and every single one of those has failed on me at some point or other. Some required data recovery from backups (which I always have), some didn't. Point being, there's no OS that your "powerful knowledge" will save you from. You're being the horse with blinders, not us. Backups are power, not simplistic hateful knowledge.

UNCLE, UNCLE, UNCLE What happened to the old adage - "knowledge is power" SO, you and a bunch of others want to go through life like a bunch of horses with blinders on. That's no skin off my nose. Just don't complain to this list or, especially me, when your system crashes and you lose EVERYTHING - ALL of you business, personal and anything else that is on your system. ALSO, I don't want to hear ANYTHING about Vista and how nasty it is or that it has completely wiped out your system. So, go ahead and be led down that golden path with that nose ring in your nose. And no complaints when it gets ripped out and you're stuck sitting there bleeding to death. Spending hundreds of dollars while I spend NOTHING but only time to learn it And go right on ahead and keep Microsoft up on that pedestal - like he is a God or like Damien from "The Omen" For the rest of you, just email me if you are interested in looking into and/or migrating.
