Post #114,347 by Andrew Grygus 8/19/03 3:39:06 PM Reply	Yeah, but the clients get annoyed . . . . if I hand them back a computer that boots toa a "No Operating System" message. As I see it, Microsoft owes an operating system to anyone who got a computer with WinMe on it, but Microsoft and the BSA don't seem to agree. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #114,351 by admin 8/19/03 3:51:08 PM Reply	Yep. I filled mine with RedHat after the drive format. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.

Post #115,228 by Ashton 8/24/03 8:31:55 PM Reply	Many thanks!! Karsten This is EXACTLY the sort of info that I was having to triage (re the Dell Thing and a friend). Have sent her this perfect illustration of the er 'attitude problem' in dealing with a Small Claims judge. It's a rare Jewel of a recipe, with the emphasis on what you Really [don't want to] do. Saved to disk. It's also perfect timing: all the 'demand' docs. are now at Dell HQ, the local Tee Vee consumer-show folks waiting with bated breath for Next: which may well be CA Small Claims, if They can't induce action either. ..And a proxy kiss on both cheeks from L. Need any Feldenkrais work ? Ashton
