I Hate PCs

[Guest guest]

Hi Butch.....um, actually Netscape is the company that sued Microsoft for

hurting " their market " . Bill Gates said people bought Microsoft email and

browser programs because Netscape made a lousy product (words to that effect).

 

The judge (who Bill Gates rightly said was not qualified to judge the technical

issues) ordered Microsoft to give Netscape a hefty settlement (cuz lotsa folks

were buying Microsoft's Express and Outlook Express instead of Netscape).

 

At that point, the CEO of Netscape (whose ego told him " he " should be in Bill

Gate's shoes) took the money and ran...sold [out] Netscape so he could spend his

days wasted away in Margaritaville. There were a lot of techie folks who thought

that was why he had founded Netscape in the first place.

 

So...Bill Gates has nothing to do with your Netscape problems, it's not his

product.

OT: I Hate PCs

 

Hi y'all,

 

I hate PCs .. but like lots of other things in life we gotta live with

them .. I reckon. :-(

 

Today was one'a them butt kicking days .. I rather work all day in a

baccer patch .. load hay .. march forty-leven miles with a full field

pack .. and I would be less exhausted than when I gotta hang around

a computer young nerd who is messing with my computer and me knowing

that as soon as he fixes one thing he's gonna mess up something else.

 

Young PC nerd was here all day .. and the boy made me kinda intense. I

ran his butt out at around 10 tonight .. told him to come back

Thursday.

 

Netscape 4.3 was moving like a slug. So I used Maintenance Wizard 4-5

times but still it would NOT let me see many emails and any forwards

and

it would not even draw up my web site on I-Net. So I ordered me a dang

Systems Suite 5 and Power Desk System for $79 or whatever .. loaded it

and it took over my PC .. wouldn't even let me get enough juice from

the

I-Net to send or get mail. So I unloaded that rascal.

 

I been using the old PC (Netscape Dinosaur Version 3.0) beside me to

see my own web site. Means the problem's in my newer PC .. methinks.

 

But the dude said the problem was because I was using Netscape 4.3 ..

so

he came and loaded Netscape 7 .. and I hate it because it doesn't allow

my OLD OLD FILES to be seen .. they are followed by a ?? So I ran his

butt off and told him to come back on Thursday. I needed a break.

 

So now I have Netscape 4.3 and Netscape 7 and the accompanying email

programs for both .. loaded. I hate the email program for Netscape 7.

It is NOT user friendly .. the crap is in the WRONG place .. I want to

shoot my PC and Bill Gates and the PC nerd who came here today.

 

I am disregarding the Netscape 7 email program now .. but it keeps

trying to jump up and control things .. keep having to knock it back

down again. I'm now using the old Netscape 4.3 email program. And the

Netscape 7 browser is not working well as long as I keep Netscape 4.3

email program on line. All in all .. I'm using ..

 

Netscape 4.3 for email

Netscape 3.0 on the other (old) PC for browsing

I-Net Explorer on this newer PC for browsing

 

And disregarding the browsers of Netscape 4.3 and Netscape 7

 

And everything together .. works like crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm using Windows 98 .. so .. I reckon that Thursday I gotta upgrade to

Windows 2000 and then reload all over and start again. ;-(

 

What y'all think? Do I need to sacrifice something? Or mebbe do a

pilgrimage? Or money in the poor box? What's the solution?

 

And what y'all think about Explorer? I mean .. y'all that have to do

lots and lots of emails every day and keep a few thousand files. Is it

user friendly?

 

All this got me behind big time .. so I started doing orders .. then

around 2 AM (little more than an hour ago) I decided to quit and have a

toddy so I could sleep without doing what keeps coming to my mind ..

that is putting about 10 rounds of 9 MM in this danged mochine ..

throwing the keys down on the desk .. walking the hell out and going

fishing for mebbe two-three years. What y'all think?

 

I hate PCs. Butch :-(
