I think WindowsXP looks lame

mdntblu

I think Windows XP looks lame. Like for children or something. I think they should have waited a while after Millennium came out to release another version. Just because one flops doesn't mean to release another one so soon.

I have recently been playing with Mozilla, the open-source browser effort. I tried Netscape 6. 0 and 6. 01 which are based on an earlier version of Mozilla, 0. 6, but was unhappy with some deficiencies and stability problems.

Anyone else notice that when you install the 2k version of the drivers, that you lose the nvidia panel in the advanced properties(for the display)? I can't get into it to do anything I want to(overclock).

A LAN problem and a odd thing

My LAN runs just fine, or so I thought. Today I needed to copy some large files (40-60MB pieces) between the two machines but run into trouble. After a while I get complete standstill, and later a message that the target drive is no longer available on the network.
