Overfull.

It has been said. ;-)

Serious question though, can you explain why these people get soo
excited by me and the things I say? We have been over *me* and my
reasons for being here before (and it's boring) and as should be now
blatantly obvious (to those that aren't droids anyway) that it's
(still) just me being me. No harm or malice meant.

So, as a bit of friendly and semi on topic chat I reply to your?

">>In fact, it's so much simpler to stick to a Palm device, that's
what I'm doing. I like them anyway..."

With"

"<strokes TX>" (I would have put a 'pipe' in there but I couldn't
see one easily on this Apple keyboard). Is it | ? (no gap?)

"I've been playing with OSssss and on one laptop have Vista / W7 /
Ubuntu and on another Ubuntu / Mint and Puppy. I already know XP works
perfectly with everything.

I was also seeing what I could hook up to what. Most of the Windows
stuff works on Vista / W7 and *I* even managed to synch the TX on
Ubuntu!

I'm currently installing a graphical GRUB editor to the Ubuntu / Mint
/ Puppy lappy so I can add the Puppy stuff to the GRUB menu (and as I
know little about Linux it's probably the safest (only) way I can see
to do it without going back 20 years and looking at terminal screens).
;-)"


What I was saying with "I already know XP works
perfectly with everything" was just that. My installation(s) of XP
work with everything I have, especially compared with the other OS's I
listed (including several other Windows versions). WTF is wrong with
that? It's fact and I wasn't even dissing OSX FFS!

p.s. I did eventually manage to edit the GRUB to get Puppy to boot ok.
