Let's not bring up those OLD bones there.

I absolutely abhore M$ products as much or more than ANYONE here... (I believe)...

But, when it comes to getting work done, I'll use what YOU brung... So that means I can use nearly anything you got... in an emergency.

I also carry around KNOPPIX v3.1(08282002EN), current updates for RedHat 7.0, 7.2, 7.3 and a CD full of needed software for just such emergencies... it has openSSH as source, static binaries for *BSD, Linux, OSX 10.2, PuTTY for Winders, Lynx, Links, curl, wget, drivers for winders for my three kinds of PCMCIA NICs I carry, Cellular/v.90 Modem drivers... plus a bunch of other junk too.. Plus a few other CDs for my enjoyment. Plus 2 piece screw drivers and keys.

All carried in a nice little CD case with a M$ product XBOX logo upon it... ;)
