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 52 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Colin Wilson on 15-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | Seems like a fair reply, sorry I missed it earlier in the thread.
What would have been interesting was if I hadn`t deleted an email earlier today from a linux mailing list - where someone who specialises in datacentre standard software installations had warned several large customers from using Win2k, because in their own tests, data became irreparably corrupt usually within 3-4 months (but at first would look "wonderful").
Every company who laughed and insisted on moving to Win2k has gone bust within 6 months apparently, the last one being "high profile" and went last month.
The person who made the post is not an average "tech" - they wrote the OS and detection avoidance / evasion systems for our nuclear subs.... |
