Reason #1,092,969 why I hate computers

Because a simple Norton System Works security update deleted information essential to the operating system (i.e.: 90% of the Registry). Thus I have the joy of reinstalling Windows and the 100+ applications I run for work.

Reason #1,239,008 Why I like computers better than most people:
When you instruct a computer to do something it doesn't ask why half a dozen times and then pout when I finally reply "Because I farokin' said so, now do it or pack your crap and find another job.

For some reason folks think I'm a bit "testy" today.

*quietly tip-toeing out the way I came while praying my own Norton does not do me that way*

Au contraire, mon ami. Try installing NT4 server and weaving through the maze of questions to NOT install IIS.

"Would you like to install Internet Information Service?"

NO

"Are you sure?"

YES

"Ask the person next to you. Does he want to install IIS?"

NO

"Are you sure you don't want to not install IIS?"

umm...YES?

"Now installing IIS."
