About 8 cups of coffee and trying to optimize a zone allocator with
AIC blaring, works nicely for me. :)
Genesys does rock.

"Fear comes from not understanding why NT won't find a printer port
when 95 can plainly print... Fear leads to Anger...
Anger leads to Hate.....Hate leads to knowing better
and installing FreeBSD when NT can't find a simple
Printer port."
-Alfred, Printer wars: Getting NT to find a LPT port
I've really got to check that movie out.
Isn't it true that MS made the big push and "standard" for PnP on
PC hardware? If this is true, why could '95 detect the printer and
serial ports in a PC i was working on, but NT wouldn't unless I
explicitly turned them on from the BIOS? Is NT only -half- a "PnP OS?"
Why is it that the only good way i've found to find what hardware
is in a computer lately is by booting a freebsd install disk?
2 hours wasted trying to find the right way to do something in a
broken world (NT).

Is there a "NT-haters" mailing list anywhere?
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly NT can be used for. Perhaps
if I turned on the GL screensaver is could make a nice conversation piece
at a party?
use FreeBSD, it just fsck'n works. thanks,
-Alfred
