Does that include my win 3.11 apps?
Quick question - I am eligible for a free upgrade to 7 with the ‘puter I just purchased. Do I have to uninstall all my applications first (Office Suite, Firewall, etc...)? I don’t want to bugger my warranties and licenses, but also don’t want to do more than I have to. I know enough to backup all my data/pix/music. I’ve never upgraded from one O/S to another before.
“Does it keep programs organized in one place?”I want to run apps out of their own directory w/o ANY installation C |~ @ |).
That looks like the start of an impressively bad day/week.
That would be a blast. Get some relatively quiet mufflers and go huntin'. Talk about a sleeper.
Keep it hideous looking and hide the required wider tires under stock fenders. You could keep it all Ford by borrowing from Mustang and Taurus.
By using the street rodder's favorite "Mustang II based front suspension subframe, and if you mounted the Taurus V-8 setup where the backseat should be, the unit would both get down and boogie, and still be able to turn without pushing.
All that while still retaining the Escort's inherent weak image and ugliness.
ROFL!
That would be nice, but you can't expect a company to support very old software. It gets very expensive to support multiple versions going back ten years.
My order arrived this afternoon! Apparently TigerDirect’s embargo expired yesterday, when mine was shipped. It was waiting for me when I got home at 11AM ET.
Yes. And your Win286. Just can't please some folks. ;-)
I only bought a PC and software at some point after the 486s appeared. B4 that I used mainframe apps at work and programmed embedded 16 bit micoprocessors, so I only need to go back to Win3. It was still better to have everything in a portable directory, functional app and data.
Like all those "old" Unix/Linux tools?
If your PC has Vista it will do a straight upgrade and you should not have to reload anything. Mine went seamlessly.
You should always back up important files to you just to be safe.
Thanks!
That was fast!
Well, one reason I ask that is to sort of point out the fallacy of the old M$ canard that says Mac OS or Linux are not targets of viruses because of their relative obscurity. But Windows 7 has been out for a while now as a release candidate and is thus fairly obscure—when compared to Win XP. But Windows 7 is still plagued by viruses.
Obscurity is not protection against virus infection in Windows 7, so in many ways all the old problems with Windows XP will still be problems in Windows 7.
To celebrate the launch of Windows 7 I just ordered the Snow Leopard upgrade for my iMac—only set me back $25.00 and I won’t be plagued by viruses and my 3 year old Intel iMac will run it just fine.
I have a mixture, early counting devices, vibration, shock and accelerometer, and temperature measuremet were designed and built to work with the the ancient Windows 3.1 but since that really was not a true o/s in reality the command structure is DOS. We use them primarily with Xp using Xp as an on/off switch. The majority of all pressure, strain gage, motion meaurement are newer and do not use a a dongle ... just a strict measurement of counts/voltage.
What HO is saying, is that in the changeover back to Xp from Vista something was corrupted. That I do not understand completely, becaue at first Xp was loadeed and Vista disabled, but when that did not work, all units were totally fornmatted, and Xp reintalled. That did clear uip a lot of problems with older printers and such, but none of my proprietary mearuement systems.
PC’s drive me nuts ... I’m a physicist, that in Pre 1985 years dealt strictly with mainframes but of course that was in a single fixed lab situation .. so much simpler. Ok .. I’m a dinosaur.
Since Windows 7 has been officially recently released for sale to the general public I'm sure it won't be long until we start reading/hearing about some new super trojan/virus/worm/malware/spyware that will make all previous Windows security issues pale in comparison.
LOL. Hey, at least he had the underarm sweat under control this year.
