woop, there it is.
BING!
my clock just chimed 12 midnight on the west coast, people are rushing to
the stores to get win98 hot off the shelves... or are they? with all the
latest talks about "it's just a driver upgrade" I hope people will have
more sense...
I installed it at home over my old win95. looks a bit more animated but
otherwise practically the same... only it's a demo copy I'm not going to
keep. the promisses of programs loading faster are a load of balony...
Dalit started to complain so it will be off this computer in a few days I
suppose...
I just read 10 minutes ago that the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group
arranged a Rally outside Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, a few miles away.
every guy coming out of the store with a copy of win98 gets a free CD of
Linux from them... If I only heard sonner, I would have joined...
( just so you understand: Fry's stores close at 9pm. 10pm only on Holidays
and midnight on the two shopping-craze days of the year, thanksgiving and
Christmas. today they open till 1am just to sell Lose98 from midnight to
1am )
people are nuts... :-)
