| subject: | Re: 64-bit anyone |
From: "Frank Haber" Another curiosity question for you Notes vict^H^H admins - can't you strip out attachments from a user's mail file? Or are lusers actually accumulating 3.6GB of Rich Text email? Good grief, I couldn't do that with chocolate-covered text, typing all day and all night for all of my life. I'm eyeing Vista 64 warily for a couple of workstations. Being a conservative guy (note lower case and absence of any reference to politics), I'm already starting to worry. The driver thing will surely work itself out. I'm fretting over backup, RAID hickies, defrag (NBD with NTFS and workstation usage patterns), and the general low-level utility fixability of things. I think we'll all be giving up some control, and reformatting a lot more when systems go corrupt. Let's hope the new driver structure and the (?temporary) increased immunity to malware are compensation. I will shed a tear over the loss of 16-bit and DOS, if only for sentimental reasons. And I wonder how good Vista64 is at rendering a video while formatting a floppy (g). Let's not even talk about emulating one-char-at-a-time I/O out the (vanishing) RS-232 port. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
