Metathesiophobia- Fear of changes.

I guess I could consider myself an "old schooler" as are most of the others
here that are trying to help the less experienced brave a new OS.

I suppose listening to the rants of the Vista haters has brought back a bit
of nostalgia.

Anyone remember these cries of technophobes?

"XP?, why the hell would I need that when 98SE blew away 95?"

"How will I EVER fill up an entire GIGABYTE?"

"What the hell do I need a mouse for when I have a keyboard?"

....I could keep going, but I'd love to hear some of you guy's

How about 98se / Why do you want more then 8 Meg of memory?

What do you mean I remember when we got the first 512k of ram for a
mainframe computer.

Ok how about late 70's Data General 1200 4 Meg Core Memory.
Now those were the days.

Your memory has been corrupted. 64MB of RAM was common by the time Win98se
came out.

Translation: Vista Haters: anyone that makes a fanboy look like the
idiots they are.

If anything is true about this goofy newsgroup it is fanboys don't
want to hear the truth. That's why I keep linking to a "see no evil"
picture of three monkeys determined not to see, hear or speak anything
bad, just like Vista fanboys never ever want to see, hear or speak
badly of Vista. They're too busy praising Microsoft and lining up to
kiss Microsoft butt. While quite a show, such poor conduct helps
nobody actually having problems.

Reality check: In the hundreds of posts I made to this newsgroup not
ONCE have I said I hate Vista or suggested anybody use Linux or a Mac
instead or anything like that. Not once. Yet I get labeled a Vista
hater because I have the tenacity to stubbornly document what's wrong
with Vista. Idiots like Frank, the moronic newsgroup fool constantly
tries to lie I can't get Vista to work, the furtherest thing from the
truth. Vista has "worked" for me from day one. That does not mean it
works all the time for all users like some foaming from the mouth
baboon like Frank loves to pretend.

This newsgroup is a poor source of "help". Few people visiting here
are actually helped. They're lectured, scolded, told they've posted
their question to the wrong group, told nobody made them upgrade, told
they should go back to XP and of course sooner or later anyone having
any issues with Vista gets painted as a dummy, is told they didn't do
enough research or it must be a hardware vendor issue or any of the
other lame excuses fanboys throw out constantly. Help? Hardly, just
the same suspects trying to hold court, pontificating and desperately
trying to act like they know more than the next guy and that they're
in charge while of course denying that's what they want at the same
time. Priceless!

Feel better?

My first mainframe computer, in 1962, had 4K of memory. And that was
decimal 4K--4000, not 4096.
