What is the primary Computer operating system that you use?
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    xp al the way here...tried vista, don't like it much, especially the "let's look young and funky for the kids" look...xp is and looks so much more civilised, work-like, and better.

    p.s. and now, with sp3, the defragger works much better :D

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
