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 59 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Simon Webber on 17-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 53 (Hassan Sultan): I do not have an Amiga. I apologise if I am out of order posting to this list. I do support 13 NT4 servers, 90 Win95/98 PCs etc, etc on 6 different sites and have done for a number of years. I have to say that keeping those servers and workstations going has been the bane of my life. I have formed an association with a Linux professional to experiment with Linux and find out for myself what the fuss is all about. The early signs are very encouraging. I cannot believe the stability of this OS. I have also looked at Win2000 and while it is more stable than NT4 (not difficult), as the time of my investigation, the stability only lasted if you used a narrow range of hardware. This may have improved, but I have spoken to a number of colleagues in the industry who have also tried Win2000 with very poor results and have has to go back to NT4 Server. I realise that this is a small sample out of the millions of users, but it is my experience for what it is worth. |
