What happens when your distro | writer gets sick, or just sick of people, or even dead? I know, you'll say | that if the distro has "legs" it will develop a decent cadre of people | willing to help with it, but will there also be an ever widening circle of | happy *programmers* ready to do the same? Or will we pay them via PayPal? | | The Linux concept may some day mature (though I personally think it has some | fatal flaws), but that day is still far off. Until then, Windows is it. | | > SO where's your ludite comparison now... in the toilet... being one of the | > cattle has never been my strong suit. | | Luddite is the perfect word.

IME, once they learn the basics, MOST people don't need much | programming/hardware help with their Windows XP systems. Not from other | people.

Where you could | help other users with your *preferred* OS/distro. Sheesh! My question was | serious: If Windows is such a POS in general, why do you devote so much time | to it? Now that I think about it, and from what you've said, I can't believe | you actually run it. You wouldn't be that, er, imprudent. But... then.... | | Vista will be passed over much like ME, and for much the same reasons, | though perhaps with a better numbers showing than ME, even in relative | terms. It's a mongrel. Can't really DO anything that XP can't, and what they | DID add that isn't just eye-candy, what they actually did at the system | level, they did very poorly, and I'm not talking about the kinds of things | you fix with a patch or even an SP. XP Professional can certainly handle | basic hardware developments for some time to come. | | The next Windows system will, as I said, have to be an entirely new | paradigm. If it can't be that, we may as well stay with WinXP or switch | provider altogether. But any replacement for Microsoft will have to deal | with scale and capitalism* as well as Microsoft. Got any candidates? | | (*Mass capitalism, where "easy" and "convenient" are the ruling paradigms, | not "cheap" and certainly not "quality". In fact, now that I think about it, | your notions are more than a little communistic, and while I won't debate | you capitalism vs. communism (we'd probably agree too much to make the | conversation worth it), we live in a raw, capitalistic world.) | | -- | Gary S.

Guest CdLSRN Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: IE Running well so far Well I am doing 2 things at once and not quite sure how to either one. My Quick Time extensions have disappeared and I can not run any of my little movies (.mov). I get an Open With box. I need quick time to play them. If there is a more updated Quick Time, will it work with my machine? After you install Quick Time (any version) from a cd, can't you just get updates for it? Doesn't it update automatically??

Guest MEB Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: IE Running well so far 11-23-04 about two months after it was issued/offered, then 02-09-06 four months prior to end. Well, I don't know why it was removed, it isn't like several other updates that I have large amounts of error reports saved for. Your guess is as good as mine, it obviously wasn't completely superceded or the older outdated update would have been removed as well. However, looking IN the 11-23-04 IE6.0sp1-KB823353-x86-ENU.exe offering, it has no direct indication of 9X support that was normally included. The INFs are not the usual, yet, as I was doing at that time, it was what I got when re-downloading whatever iuhist showed was installed for future use. Be interesting to see if anyone had the actual original offering. Or was that what you used? -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "Gary S.

Don't be obtuse. That's about as ridiculous a piece of logic as you've launched all day. IF MS is trying to coopt the open source community (which is what you claim amounts to), it's because they can't come up with what they WANTED Vista to be, a whole new OS with a whole new file system and everything else that everyone, including me, knows are weak points in 2K/XP. Whereas the "debate" we *were* having, until you changed it again, was one of comparative OSes that NOW EXIST. I never claimed that XP was the cat's meow, that it doesn't need replacing, and teh sooner the better. It's just a LOT better than Windows 9x in almost all respects, and, for the mass consumer, the only reasonable choice available. (Careful, well-off persons might choose Mac, instead, especially since they made it run Windows decently, but only geeks run Linux distros.) Doesn't mean I think XP is bad, either. I've been using XP since before RTM and for a lot of various types of real work, using lots of major apps and minor apps, updating, etc., etc. There have been some stumbles, but nothing so catastrophic as I'd regularly run into using Win9x, nor as frequent, etc. I have an abiding appreciation for XP's robustness and breadth of possible functionality compared to 9x, based upon real use. Lastly, like I said, I used them both for real work, and didn't have time to figure out anything of the Linux flavor. I learned 98 when I was disabled and living in a tiny travel trailer. Once I found them in the beginning of '99, I had time to participate in the groups, tear 98 apart, try all kinds of apps, all kinds of cinfigurations, some hardware changes, even ran a virus just to see what it did, to report to this group. I used my 98 Upgrade CD, purchased the day it came out, to reinstall my P200 system many hundreds of times in just a few short months. Etc., etc. But then I had to go back to work, and didn't have time for much of that (relatively). And now my brain doesn't work well enough to learn. No retention. Which is why I haven't even moved to supporting XP. Not qualified and not up to becoming so. Once I get a bit more on my feet (maybe next winter), I'll see how Linux has matured. Last time I tried it (before XP came out) every distro I tried was a misrerable failure. I don't want to HAVE to build the entire OS from scratch, practically, just to get my machine running. Didn't even get to find out if I could get real work done on them. (I was in the publishing business. Lots of graphics work. I also made money building Access apps and other odd but very demanding projects.) So, you think any of the distros are going to make me happy? Will any of them run Photoshop? (No, there is NO replacement for Photoshop!) > Sorry not really in this type of debating mood at the moment, still stuck > in Legal mode [local and distant]... Sorry, you started it. You want it finished, just stop replying. As for the legal blah blah, best wishes. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://www.grystmill.com > "Gary S.

Guest CdLSRN Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: What is Quick Time Re: What is Quick Time I googled one of the missing Quick Time files QT32INST.EXE downloaded it and ran it and it repaired Quick Time. It even installed the QTW32DEL.EXE that was missing. Now I have both of the Quick Time logos QT & QT32 in my add/remove programs and in Control Panel. I don't believe the QT one works but my movies are playing well, automatically with the Quick Time 32. So I am leaving it alone as I am sure there are shared files. Unless anyone has any ideas as to how to get rid of it without hurting Quick Time 32. "Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: What is Quick Time Re: What is Quick Time Capitalism is the elephant in the room when you start comparing OSes. Sits there and laughs at the Open Source people. Open Source, lacking the backing of HUGE amounts of capital, will never make it into Dick & Jane's living room, home office, pocket, what have you. Without Microsoft and the PC, both primo examples of Capitalism with a capital C, we'd still be living in the computer stone ages. When it comes to mass sales of computers as appliances, 9x is the past, 2K/XP/Vista (and Mac) is the now, and NOBODY has any good idea what the future will bring, which means whatever it is ain't gettin' here any time soon. -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: What is Quick Time Re: What is Quick Time Leave it for now. I'll have you a full answer tomorrow if I can. What you've probably got is the same ancient, dangerous, version that MEB was complaining about. We need to find the latest version that will still run on 9x. I'm may have it, but I'm in the middle of rebuilding my 98 box so I can't test and make sure, know how to instruct you in its installation, etc. (Actually, I coulda sworn I found v.6 on the QT site and that it works with Win98, but I guess I'll have to go through my History to find it. Assuming I don't already have it. Latest version I could find quickly was one I downloaded in late '05.) -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: IE Running well so far No, we downloaded it last night or the night before, whenever it was. As for it's 9x compatibility, all I knew was that it had been installed on a 9x system and that the trail of KB + Security Bulletin led to a link that said, "For IESP1, all versions of Windows." And it worked. Makes me want to check a few other supposedly non-9x Updates. Not enough to actually do it, but just a little. Actually, sounds like a job for you, <eg>. -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: What is Quick Time Re: What is Quick Time Decided to run the latest installer I have to see if it tells you up front what version... There it was in huge letters. 6.5.1. And it was released prior to December '04, not '05. Another of my many brain farts today. What IS strange is that I have no versions prior to that in the places I'd expect to find them. I'm a true packrat when it comes to that kind of stuff. Gotta be earlier versions here, somewhere. Ahh, here we go. Versions 4 & 5... All I'm missing is 3 and I just didn't feel like waiting for Search to complete inspection of my vast ZIPped archives, my backups of backups, etc. -- Gary S.

Guest Angel Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: IE Running well so far Yes, I already knew that it will take a while for the pain to subside. Even the pain pills don't work that well. Gary, I am prepared for a long hall, but you know I do not give up or in easily. You are not pessimistic only truthful. This is no picnic, if you know what I mean. My cat is on the footstool I am trying to use. She takes up most of the footstool. Since I got home, she does not let me out of her sight. I finally got her to move off the stool. How? I picked her up and put her off. She did not accept that. I had to do it again. She is stubborn and don't give up easily neither. Angel "Gary S.

Guest MEB Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: What is Quick Time Re: What is Quick Time Gary, you're wrong or uninformed. Check out the comparisons to the newest Linux clones verses XP [or even VISTA]. You can't ignore where the world is moving. Microsoft doesn't and is concerned. Between Apple and these clones, Microsoft has to rely upon uniformed people to use its OSs, and coerce manufactures to follow its designs, and force the use of its OSs. XP may suit your purposes, obviously it does, but that means little. Wouldn't you rather run an OS which can be changed today, rather than waiting a month or never, to have something fixed. Wouldn't you rather have manufacturers working WITH users, rather than with Microsoft. Wouldn't you rather have thousands of code knowledgeable people helping to protect you [with the opposite of course, but that's in Windows also so the comparison is negated]. Don't you wonder why Windows is supposedly mostly a secret coding, yet just about everyone can hack it [from 7 or 8 year olds up]? Why would you support a system in which the key features cause numerous issues of their own? Ask yourself why you WOULD ignore these things, why you fight so desperately to further an OS which you admit is not what it purports to be.... Your ideas and arguments fall flat, by your own writings... Gary, the reason I'M here, is I have a small part in this monster called Microsoft. I participated in the very earliest stages, provided the error reports and suggestions, downloaded by long distance and at MY cost the files by 2400 then 14.4 then 33.6 modem, defended [verbally] the parties who brought windows to the business world and were FIRED AND SUED for doing so, did the beta testing until Microsoft started CHARGING [how dense am I, ah yeah, I supply the computer system which Microsoft trashes and which I PAY to have trashed] and a number of other things which I now regret.... no matter how trivial or insignificant my part or input was, this 9X environment is something I participated in and THOUGHT the world needed [it was, it brought computing to the masses as you indicate]. The NT environment, which I also worked with though NEVER recommended, has, per my own testing, never been a good replacement for Unix or other servers. That it was forced into the home environment under false pretences is something I can not support. My position on XP was stated YEARS ago in this group, I will never recommend it unless something changes, which SP3 did not completely do. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "Gary S.

That's about as ridiculous a piece of logic as you've | launched all day. IF MS is trying to coopt the open source community (which | is what you claim amounts to), it's because they can't come up with what | they WANTED Vista to be, a whole new OS with a whole new file system and | everything else that everyone, including me, knows are weak points in 2K/XP. | | Whereas the "debate" we *were* having, until you changed it again, was one | of comparative OSes that NOW EXIST. I never claimed that XP was the cat's | meow, that it doesn't need replacing, and teh sooner the better. It's just a | LOT better than Windows 9x in almost all respects, and, for the mass | consumer, the only reasonable choice available. (Careful, well-off persons | might choose Mac, instead, especially since they made it run Windows | decently, but only geeks run Linux distros.) | | Doesn't mean I think XP is bad, either. I've been using XP since before RTM | and for a lot of various types of real work, using lots of major apps and | minor apps, updating, etc., etc. There have been some stumbles, but nothing | so catastrophic as I'd regularly run into using Win9x, nor as frequent, etc. | I have an abiding appreciation for XP's robustness and breadth of possible | functionality compared to 9x, based upon real use. Lastly, like I said, I | used them both for real work, and didn't have time to figure out anything of | the Linux flavor. | | I learned 98 when I was disabled and living in a tiny travel trailer. Once I | found them in the beginning of '99, I had time to participate in the groups, | tear 98 apart, try all kinds of apps, all kinds of cinfigurations, some | hardware changes, even ran a virus just to see what it did, to report to | this group. I used my 98 Upgrade CD, purchased the day it came out, to | reinstall my P200 system many hundreds of times in just a few short months. | Etc., etc. But then I had to go back to work, and didn't have time for much | of that (relatively). And now my brain doesn't work well enough to learn. No | retention. Which is why I haven't even moved to supporting XP. Not qualified | and not up to becoming so. | | Once I get a bit more on my feet (maybe next winter), I'll see how Linux has | matured. Last time I tried it (before XP came out) every distro I tried was | a misrerable failure. I don't want to HAVE to build the entire OS from | scratch, practically, just to get my machine running. Didn't even get to | find out if I could get real work done on them. (I was in the publishing | business. Lots of graphics work. I also made money building Access apps and | other odd but very demanding projects.) So, you think any of the distros are | going to make me happy? Will any of them run Photoshop? (No, there is NO | replacement for Photoshop!) | | > Sorry not really in this type of debating mood at the moment, still stuck | > in Legal mode [local and distant]... | | Sorry, you started it.

Again, the story is in the numbers -- FACTS. And again, capitalism is a FACT. The vast uninformed society is a FACT. Apple's upper-level quality (and price) are FACTS. Microsoft's predatory practices are FACTS. I don't dispute that "the world is moving", but it's moving at a snail's pace toward something nobody can yet foresee. > XP may suit your purposes, obviously it does, but that means little.

No. I would not want my machine used as a test box every day. >Wouldn't you rather have > manufacturers working WITH users, rather than with Microsoft. Work with users in what way? I'd rather the hardware and the OS code got along, thank you, and I don't think it should be the OS getting changed every day in order to keep up with every whim of every hardware developer out there, much less the hardware manufacturers' "users". Again, you are describing chaos. >Wouldn't you > rather have thousands of code knowledgeable people helping to protect you > [with the opposite of course, but that's in Windows also so the comparison > is negated]. Where do you get these "thousands of code-knowledgeable people"? And how am I supposed to choose who to listen to? No, now that I think abou tit, the LAST thing I want is a bunch of "code-knowledgeable people" helping me. I want other USERS helping me. I want the code people to busy themselves keeping the code in good order and I want them to ALL BE ON THE SAME TEAM! > Don't you wonder why Windows is supposedly mostly a secret coding, yet > just > about everyone can hack it [from 7 or 8 year olds up]? Why would you > support > a system in which the key features cause numerous issues of their own? No, I never wondered that. I knew the answer without having to actually ask the question. It's akin to a law of nature. But you imply that the other OSes are hack proof, or inherently less insecure, that they are without faults in logic, without vulnerabilities just as nasty as the ones you bemoan in WIndows, and that's a crock. And you still don't get it -- I have no big attachment to XP other than it's what gets the job done for me and none of the others could come close. My only other observation is that XP/Vista appear to be maintaining their share, or losing it at a snails pace at worst, and that this is due to basic capitalism. Microsoft, or anyone who seeks to replace them, need a brand new bag altogether, but I prefer the current state of affairs to the chaos you describe. > Ask yourself why you WOULD ignore these things, why you fight so > desperately to further an OS which you admit is not what it purports to > be.... Your ideas and arguments fall flat, by your own writings... How is it that you keep seeing me as "fighting" for XP/Vista/whatever? I have no dog in this fight. I just want the winner when the dust settles. For the last several years, that's been Windows XP and now this mongrel Vista. > Gary, the reason I'M here, is I have a small part in this monster called > Microsoft.
