    I actually think techno is fun to trip out on simply for the sound effects they throw in. Its a sort of cheap disco version of Tomita.

    Garry- why dont you tell what brand/model your camera is since you often make mention of it.
    Why dont digital cameras use USB2 as thats faster than firewire and available on todays computer. If you were to buy a 3 megapixal nowadays, is it just aim and shoot or do you have a bunch of buzzers and bells you have to operate?

    I havent used linux yet, so I cant say, but Im quite sure your wrong. Anyone with linux experience can say whether or not all software runs on all dists of the same kernal version?

    I dont want to start up any kind of debate or insult anyone, but isnt it true that northern Italy is responcible for much of the countrys wealth/prosperity, and the southern part a political/economic nightmare?

    I have a 40g harddrive which makes funny noises but still works, so I plan to use that for a dual hd setup and install Mandrake, Red Hat and Suse on partitions to mess around with and see which I like best. Suse is the real full featured one that comes on 7 CDs but is more complicated to use. I wish the linux community as well as bussiness/government would make some common linux compatability standards so all linux software would run on all dists. As the saying goes, united we stand, divided we fall. Its interesting to note that linux was just Linus Torvolds attempt to take a OS (minux) that was written only as a teaching aid in a book for computer sciences students and never intended for acutal use and make an actual working OS out of it. Linus´s original linux was just a tiny kernal program that couldnt even boot on its own. Once he posted the source code on usenet, hundreds of fustrated programers all over the world jumped at the chance to develope this into something serious as they were tired of giant computer companys withholding all the control to operating systems. Hurray for open source!

    Comet- System restore just remembers previous settings your computer had, its not some kind of second by second record of every funtion made by your computer. All this “go back in time” stuff is just MS marketing hype.
