well when you have two creens up at the same time you jsut grab the top of one of the screens and drag your mouse down to the middle left or middle right of the screen and it will kind of change and then release the drag adn it will split the screen, do it with the other and now you have a perfect split screen in seconds without having to resize or nighing. its fun to do if nothing else.
wow, window tiling for those who cant use menues or keyboard commands. M$ making computers "easier and easier for morons to use."
No offense to anyone who falls into the moron category. But its you who keep people like me employed. Well, except me, i cant find a job.
In the old, and probably current system, click window and then arrange or tile.
I'm that moron, isnt that what new gadgets are all about is making it neat and fun to use?
I mean why don't we all go back to using windows 3.11 and DOS?
Certainly wish we could. It would keep Code 19's out of my hair and I could focus on real computer work instead of trying to get the moron to admit that they were looking at pron so I have a better idea of what virus I was working on getting rid of.
As a computer user, they dont see the fun of attempting to fix the PC. It makes tech support's life easier to just come out with it and tell us what you were doing so we know where to start fixing things. Tech support could care less what you do with your machine, just tell us what you were doing when it all went south. Due to the invention of the mouse, morons are using PCs. With every single upgrade to software, more morons lose their inhibitions and get a PC. With all these id ten teas using pcs and not owning up to their mistakes, a simple 10 minute fix turns into a 2 hour job. I dont mind charging someone $120 for something that they could have gotten out of for only $30. But when my day is packed fixing the same problems over and over, annoying isnt the word for it. Too many morons put too much faith in ther anti-virus. Its startling to admit how inadaquite the majority of these programs really are.
If Lindows really was user friendly, I would suggest it to everyone. Then again, it should have been free.
A comedian once pointed out this thought:
If the automobile industry improved at the same rate as the computing industry, we would all be in flying cars that ran on water. However, they would also break down every other day and you couldnt do a thing to fix it yourself. Either way, keep taking life's advances in stride.
edit: Meowzer, any problems with the new machine or transfering files?

So just because someone doesn't understand the basic concepts of an operating system, they're considered a "moron"? Dude, you wouldn't last a week in my company. The first time you popped off to one of my customers because you don't have the PATIENCE to assist someone (because that's what I pay you to do), you'd be out the door. What is a "id ten tea" and a "Code 19"? Is that some kind of Dell Help Desk Geek Speak?

I used to run DOS, thats about as far into a computer as Ive gotten, I'm no programmer, but I have a pretty good idea of computer basics.
That doesnt mean that we should be forever stuck in a world with no mouse, no wireless internet, no upgraded fancy windows no larger flat screen monitors, faster CPU's, Bigger harddrives, more powerful programs.
I guess I jsut don't see the logic in it.
Again, I'm that moron.

Nice! You liking the Dell so far? I've never owned one, and I will be needing a new desktop in the not so distant future.

LOL...Right now, and 90% of the time I am on my laptop.......the little I have used of it, it has been fine
.....I will say it was extremely easy to hook up......basically it did a lot on its own....

I have one of Dell's all in one's where the monitor is the whole computer and it's been fine. DVD went out a few months after I got it and they sent out a local service co to handle things. Been fine since.

I saw them, BUT all in one anythings tend to make me nervous....especially out where I am and there is NO local person to be sent out
with a all in one....if one part goes, you lost the whole piece of equipmetn until it's replaced

just copy and paste the files from the flash drive to a folder on the new machine.
================================
for those who dont know:
eye dee ten tea = ID10T
Code 19 = the problem is 19 inches away from the monitor
And if anyone really belives this is how I handle my customers, think again. I have done tech support for over 10 years. I know how to make morons feel extremely smart.

If you can see your music files, select them all and press ctrl + c. then navigate to the folder you want them in and click in the white space of the folder window. then press ctrl + v.

Sorry, but if you have to call your customers 'morons', you have no business being in Customer Service. 10 years? Wow. Let's see. My first job as a Computer Engineer was in 1979. Started designing OS's and programs by 1981. Was on the 'Internet' before there was one (used to send 'packets' across the Defense Dept's ARPANET network). I used to have a poster that had all the major 'Internet nodes' across the US when the Internet was in it's infancy. Most of the 'hubs' originated in major Universities across the nation. Worked on mini-mainframes where 32K of memory was considered huge. Memory boards were the size of pizza boxes, and you repaired them using a logic probe, oscilloscope, a soldering iron, and a chip puller. Memorex had one of the first sealed hard disk that was a whopping 25MB (slid out on rails out of a cabinet about 3' wide and 4' deep). Remember the first version of Mozilla. Downloaded a beta version of Windows 95 before Microsoft's official release. Used to debate how you pronounced Linus Torvalds OS that he created (even downloaded a voice clip of him pronouncing it) OK, OK. Gotta stop the nostalgia.
