CONGRATULATIONS, ZIM!!


If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Interesting.

Before they shut down the plant and my job went bye bye (and I retired) . . . we had several 'console computers' still running Windows 2000. And a nice stockpile of antique computers and spare parts to ensure we could keep them running. With the original drivers. We also had some XP computers running the same way.

About Linux? (And I think I said this before.) I have a couple of linux boxes here in my house. Same PC can be loaded for Windows or Linux. So I bought a WiFi adapter and the box says for Windows or Linux. (Plugs into a USB slot.) When I feed it to the Linux box and boot it up there it is. Enter the WiFi pass code and I'm in business. Feed it to the Windows box and I then had to load a CD and install drivers before it would work.

By the way De, the company firewall kept the rest of the world out of the Windows 2000 computers network segment. And the XP systems had little 'Pix Boxes' (hardware firewalls) that kept the riff raff out of the XP systems.

Zim.
