Having a zip drive that could be borrowed would be
quite handy. That would especially be the case for
those who have more appropriate facilities at home
than they do at work.
A surprising number of PG's are finding themselves
in this position.
Steve, you suggest a dual boot PC with Win95 and
Linux installed. I could think of nothing better
than having easy accessibility to Windows 95. I
am aware that Microsoft is a dirty word in this
department, but it's getting to the stage where
we are in a minority with these thoughts.
Personally, I would much rather use Microsoft
Windows than anything that involves configuration
via dot files, how lazy?
Jonathan.
