One of the best free defragmentation programs for WinXP

[kooler]

Has my vote for the best solution, that's for sure.


All my new boxes run Ubuntu Linux.

you know what i love about linux..
i can cook dinner while it boots and then i can surf the internet while i eat..
cause that is all it is good for..
if you think about it.. if linux was as popular as ms it would be just as bad..
thank goodness bill stole dos from ibm..
after he got fired..

Therefore, it is much less infectious.

What is this fragmentation about?
What is a virus?
I never have heard or experienced such things.
I guess it must be a concern in WIN solutions.

Strange, why people pay a lot for something that is so bad when there are free solutions, systems doing all the same (maybe except games).

I think you have a different piece of unverified gossip to what I once read about Bill.

I'm under the impression that he legally bought the rights (and source code) to dos, from a small software development company called Seattle Software. It was jokingly called Q-DOS by the Seattle developers who thought it was, at their current stage of completion, a "Quick and Dirty Operating System".

Bill simply bought Q-DOS outright, for a pittance, renamed it to MS-DOS, and then sold (non-exclusive) distribution rights to IBM who were in the expensive (at the time) process of creating PC-DOS themselves. By the time they got PC-DOS up and running, Microsoft had already sold off distribution rights to numerous computer manufacturer competitors, including those using clone chipsets, thereby establishing MS-DOS as a ubiquitous readily available operating system and Microsoft as a well known "brand" in the software marketplace.

@all

For those running Firefox but are having long delays when browsing the forum, or, like me on my office cuomputer I was getting a "Warning: Unresponsive Script Error" I just downloaded YesScript and installed it and now no more putzing around with all the scripts that are loaded on each page. Super fast page views now.

Just go in Tools  - Add-ons and click on the Get Extension link. At that web page type YesScript in the search engine and you will find the download. Get it installed, then go into it via Add-Ons again and add the Blacklisted URL for this forum as "http://www.overunity(dot)com" and re-start Firefox and come back to the forum for fast browsing. Enjoy.
