You are really glad we do not have access to your C: drive.
I again, inadvertently dragged a bookmark from Internet Explorer
you're using i.e??? so what operating system are you running then
bigboy? your newsgroup sigs say:
user agent: tin/1.7.10-20050929 ("Tahay") (UNIX) Linux/2.4.32-A-STAND
(i686))
so, either you're running linux and bullshitting about your browser,
/or/ you're running windoze and bullshitting about your news reader.
He could be running a Windows virtual machine on a Linux host and
trying to cut/paste between the two.

yeah. like that's a /great/ idea! virtualize 'doze just so you can run
the worlds worst browser! utterly brilliant.
Try to use your imagination. A virtual Windows machine is a great
solution for people like me who don't like Windows but can't do their
job without it. I run an OSX machine at home and use a virtual WinXP
machine to VPN into work.
maybe, but i won't run m$ code on my "good" machines, virtual or native.
� and for "normal" work, there's no reason to. �even exchange's web
server pages, you know, that corporate monument to high overheads and
unreliability, can be handled perfectly well by firefox.

I run four different browsers for various
reasons and IE is my least favorite, but we have browser based tools
at work that only run on IE so I need to have it available. There are
also apps that I have for personal use that have no OSX or Linux (I
run a Linux server too) equivalent.
like andrew points out, there are certain situations which are locked
out to non-m$ systems, and for that, i keep an old w2k box. �it's
disgusting to have to. �i keep the damned thing firewalled behind my
firewall! �haven't had to actually run it in about two years.

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being locked out. I
use a free app from a hacking project (IR.exe for JP1 remotes) that
has never been ported to any other OS as far as I know. It's just that
no one has bothered to do it. Not sure why you're so frightened of
your w2k box. It's pretty harmless as long as you don't do anything
stupid.

Bret

never sniffed your own network traffic have you! 'doze phones home with all kinds of stuff. that's not "pretty harmless".
