Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Boggle..
Have had SysInternals stuff and the Radsoft Rixtools collection of tiny, fast, bitchin utils for years (also Sam Spade). Natch, you could exploit their subtleties a millyun times better than moi, but how could it be that this stuff is New to You?

I though that Process Explorer, File Monitor were staples [?]

(Less'n of course, all along.. you've successfully evaded having to do shit with any Doze box -- but that's so unCorporate as to appear ummm.. fantastical?)

New Yup. No Windows.
Almost.

You need to remember that I reported to my brother
for about 6 years. He was in charge the of database
group and I was the technical architect. So any
time he started leaning towards a windows solution
for a problem I'd ask if he was going to be
implementing and supporting it.

Not that I don't appreciate the tools on the
desktop. I just don't trust them for any length
of time. I ALWAYS get burned and have to write
around a problem. I'm not allowed to give up
and say something does not work.

My last windows desktop was Win 95. Early Win 95.
And that was for a short while. That is when I
started using a Linux desktop, which really meant
a rudimentary X that I really did not like.

And then KDE came out.

After that, the ONLY time I used Windows was when
I was forced to run a specific app, but I always
had a separate box to run it on.

Since my work was database on Oracle on SCO and
then Solaris, 95% of my time was spent Xtermed into
another box anyway.

About a 1.5 years ago I did a project that used
SQL/Server as the DB, but did all my non-DB processing
on a Linux box.

All Windows query tools that our clients or employees used
on the database are supported by other people. Once the
data was loaded my piece was done.

So yes, I have managed to escape Windows for the most
part.
New Wow..
What a coup!

I would guess then, that you are well & truly despised (the final form of unrequited envy) by legions of folks who found themselves incapable, for whatever reasons - of such a heroic career of perfect-evasion ;-)

er Kudos!!
(I suppose - when it's your brother, you can phrase it that way)

If only I hadn't been given that free Win 3.0 demo, not long after CP/M, I mighta been a contender. I marvel at now 3+ years of only unserious events, no reloads, via the One True Solution: never ask this spastic cripple to do more than walk, never for more than one day at a time.. and never Try Stuff on the same box you'd rather not rebuild.

It's not actually bad, that way. I just want to see how long this sucker will go, now; entertainment, before having to choose which Door #2, Knop --> Debian in stages -?- or that other weird guy in Cupertino.

Not a very good scheme for say, running a business. Never understood how that is actually done, though countless posts have made clear - it's never done without continuous pain, even in Redmond.
What a field: IT in '04





Would put you up for the Sly Perspicuity Award, Two Ears + a Grail
-- but I think you've already got your reward, and it's priceless.
New Part of it's age
It's a lot harder to do that now. The point being that personal choice increases the longer you're in the career (as long as you keep advancing, anyway), and when he started it was a lot less ubiquitous than it is now.

Pity the poor cubiclites, for they have no choice.

New Makes sense; newbies get the full brunt, then.
New I assume you meant these
[link|http://www.radsoft.net/products/|http://www.radsoft.net/products/]

No wonder you are so paranoid. You actively watch those out to get you.
New It might seem so - but:
Nowadays I use a small fraction of any tools and, rarely; it just isn't worth it to imagine you're going to "find out all you need to know" to keep a Doze system walking. That is the full meaning of, dynamic irreproducibility (or, nondeterminate) as I have experienced it. (OK - for someone like Andrew and a few, revise that. But sans that lengthy experience, all kept in a mind.. never mind.)

Yeah.. once I thought a bunch of notes, logs, utils and stuff could help. And sometimes the utils do. Not Worth the Time in 20/20. KISS is all I'll trust re any Billyware whatsoever. I cannot Imagine trusting a Company to this crap - one need not be a coder to recognize built-in badness, though I suppose it helps to tabulate and correlate a few of the underlying reasons.

Or does it? knowing that Nothing will be done / Can be done to make this POS network at 5-Nines AND be legacy-compatible. Last I heard..


Other-tech Ex:

The famous Victoreen "Area Monitor" - a lab wall-mount geiger counter with settable alarm window and a gawdawful mini-klaxon - was a straightforward early-transistorized monitor, seen/heard! in many movies, etc.

Have one downstairs: an interstage xfmr had shorted turn-turn, and on the exact day after Chernobyl!
(Looking for fallout - had another counter, though)

No parts for eons, but it is a Classic Thing.
I had to unwind and measure length of the 32-AWG? fine-wire == far better than imagining a turns-count! I suppose that I might someday rewind the sucker; at least that is a Known route to restoration.

With Doze: there IS no 'known route', once past the trivial. That millions have accepted this - proves the onset of species-dumbth, all by itself.
