I have used MS OS for most of my computer career. I have never been more unhappy with that fact as I am now.

I run XP on my machine right now, and realized it had been about a month since I'd last changed my password. Not having time to think of a good new one, I removed my current Windows password, leaving a very secure BIOS PW to guard my HD.

I go home, try to log on...it doesn't work. I try every password I have ever used, and it won't let me on. I go ahead and try nothing, no good. I try variants...still nothing.

This is where I start getting pissed off. But wait...an idea! I left the Guest account on, for just such emergencies. I log on, and go to restore my system to a week old back-up. Not enough priveliges...Grr. (Why won't Windows let me modify such things for Guest? Gah!) Won't let me do much of anything...

I re-install Windows, and in the process lose access to everyone of my files. Oh, they're still on there....but Admin doesn't have priveliges high enough to get at them. ::Chokes Wndows::

My modem is also not installed....for some reason. Add New Hardware. Driver not found. Would you like to go online to download it? ....Yes, but no modem you @$*%#ing of crud!

Finally, I remember. I had backed up drivers onto a seperate CD. I look...and its there! I get my modem back! Finally! ::Cheers:: ....Stupid Windows.. As soon as I find my Linux discs, I'm re-partition. Windows can have 10% of the drive. ::Grins::

Thanks for listening...or whatever. I just had to write this down and get it out of my system.
