Re: Anti Microsoft?

I'd never buy an X Box.
I'm perfectly happy with my Gamecube and with Resident Evil 4 being said to be one of the best games ever created to be released on the cube, it kind of says it all for me.

As for Microsoft as a whole, they got me into Computers back in the days of Windows 3.11 and I use their Office applications for essays and stuff so no real reason to complain there.
When they work, they work, when they crash they can be very annoying. Its life.

Re: Anti Microsoft?

I have an Xbox, Two PCs and one laptop (one PC runs Windows Server 2003, the other and the laptop run XP), but I like PCs and Macs. I find both have strengths and weaknesses and tend to use whichever fits my needs at the time.

BTW, I have an xbox..

As for M$ yep along with Graham on this one. I don't actually use any M$ stuff (except XP)* at home I am slowly re-educating people to the joys of RTF for document trasfer. (hey look if you put it in this format, anyone can read it...)

You didn't need the modulator if you had a monitor (or, apparently, a Scart enabled TV). I actually still fondly remember my Amigas (first a 500, then a 1200). The OS is still (IMO) superior to Windows.

I have fond memories of playing James Pond and the Lotus series of games. The animation for the intro of Team 17's Full Contact still looks bloody impressive.

I had no trouble getting tesco.com to work on Opera. When I tried it on my phone and turned of "Small Screen Rendering" in Opera (it has the facility to shrink/reformat web pages to fit your device), the site even picked up I was using a small screen and I got a special "small screen" version.
