But if I shut mine down I cannot run BOINC.  ;)
Or be available when I want it, or when my kids want it or when my 
wife wants it, or ....

OT?  Yesterday and today were my first experience with Win XP in over 
2 years.  Installing some commercial software.  After two days I think 
I have it almost installed.  All but the drivers and the patches.  Of 
course I have to learn how to use the software to install the patches. 
  Oh yea, there are some more applications to install after the patches.

Changing 12 CD's, 8 reboots, two days and there is still more to do.

Give me Yum, Anaconda and Linux any day.  Needless to say, I will be 
writing the software manufacturer about this.

I have installed Open Office and Firefox which each required a reboot.

And of course the required anti-virus software.  Still have to find 
some adware software.

Now I remember why I HATE WINDOWS.  Sorry for shouting but it makes me 
mad.  Now to take a Valium. :)
