Things have been pretty slow behind the scenes at ANN. I still worked most of January 2001 and the past two weeks of February, so my free time was limited. My PC seems to be working okay now, but my dialup has been very unreliable and painfully slow (how many errors are normal in W2k's dialup status window? So far I have 143 for less than 200k transferred...). The DSL line is supposedly being installed "in a few weeks". Sounds oddly familiar. I finally found an Amiga sponsor again, so that my phone costs are almost covered. Thanks also to the individuals who offered donations - sorry I didn't get back to you - but I'm always reluctant to accept individual donations for a number of reasons I won't go into since space is limited. :) To wrap up this MOTD, I'm trying once more to find one or more reliable contributors to do a bit of moderation and article posting. Please apply via email.

Do you know that MS outsourced this emulation.
They did not know how to emulate their own OS ;)
Anyway they were not even capable to keep compatibibility with DOS 6.
A lot of commands are still missing and you have to use an additional script tools when you want to write a decent script.
Windows 2000 even does not have a decent shell.
Windows 2000 pissed me off so much. |
