                              no i work about 10 hours a day (less than i used to) and am gay.

                              i use final cut pro to edit video. i use cleaner 5 to compress video.

                                                                                          i don't restart programs every 15 minutes, either. win2k pro pretty much got rid of that, but it still had a few bugs. win xp is very solid for the most part, except for some of the software i use is unstable because of the people who made it.

                                                                                          unless you count adobe, i have trouble with golive sometimes just crashing.

                                                                                                      I think I used version 5, would just lock solid for random reasons.

                                                                                                      Like I said linux distro's are a very personal choice almost like boxers of briefs...the fact that I like slackware comes from a series of e-commerce development projects where I was on slackware for along time. It was clean...

                                                                                                      People have told me I would love debain...

                                                                                                      1) Power Outage
                                                                                                      2) Reboot from software install
                                                                                                      3) I shut it down before doing a music recording project
                                                                                                      4) I've decided to format it (which i do every 3-4 months)

                                                                                                      This thing has never once crashed out on me, sure i've hand applications die...but the core stayed stable.. I'm actualy impressed with XP... (I HATED with a passion ME)

                                                                                                                                  A friend has a print company that has been around for awhile. In 1989 they bought a Mac SE/30 and a 286 machine with Windows 2. The use for both machines was graphics and page layout.

                                                                                                                                  The se/30 is still being used for simple page layout (pagemaker), the accounting software and MS Excel for costing spreadsheets.

                                                                                                                                  The 286 machine was retired in 1992. And is currently a landfill resident.

                                                                                                                                  The SE/30 cost $3500 back in 1989. Which works out to $250 a year for the hardware.

                                                                                                                                  The 286 cost $2700 in 1989 and lasted 3 years. Which works out to $900 a year for the hardware.

                                                                                                                                  Which one is more cost effective? The machine that still does everything they want, or the machine they have to buy a replacement for every 2 to 3 years?

                                                                                                                                  ;)

                                                                                                                                      The 286 machine was retired in 1992. And is currently a landfill resident.

                                                                                                                                      The SE/30 cost $3500 back in 1989. Which works out to $250 a year for the hardware.

                                                                                                                                      The 286 cost $2700 in 1989 and lasted 3 years. Which works out to $900 a year for the hardware.

                                                                                                                                      Which one is more cost effective? The machine that still does everything they want, or the machine they have to buy a replacement for every 2 to 3 years?
