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.

MOTD 12/Feb/2001 : Comment 43 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Dave on 14-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 42 (Hassan Sultan): *My* only real problem with 2000 is that it's still slow to use. I hate having to wait for a context based menu to appear. I like to do things fast.
To me, the only thing which it currently has going for it is the fact that it's easier to set up, although I don't like the 'integrated'-ness of it and the way they have shuffled things around and renamed other parts.
Also, I would much rather have one program for one thing. I don't want an uber-alles computer 'manager' stroke setup program. (I can just see the next version - the icons in the control panel have been replaced by one HUGE icon ;)
(I hate having mail/word processing/organiser functions in one (like outlook 2000)). At work we use Outlook 2000, the main complaint I hear is that it's too complicated for the user. Before you know it they're back to outlook express...
Anyway, I'm straying way off track. I'll probably not bother posting to this thread again, but thanks for the interesting reading guys.
Cheers,
Dave. |
