It seems they had a proven product and went and made it worse. I had a converstation with some friends about how bad NT 4 sucks and it was greatly discussed that Bill Gates has enough money to basically say: "Were going to give you this inferior product and you're going to like it, or at least be forced to use it." Gee, I wonder why I suddenly have this urge to scream "Via La Free Software!". Apoligies to those who speak French. On a side note, I'm using Netscape on top of X on a 75MHz AMD-K5 and listening to a .WAV file of 44KHz, 16-bit audio play in the background. It's only using ~7% of the CPU play the audio. Decent. Oh yeah, switching to FreeBSD 3.0 brought the overhead down 3% from what it was before. At least I can do something know while I listen to my ripped songs... -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail UAH CS Home WWW ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
