| That
is an easy way on Windoze. Under GUI depends on whit incarnation. XP
uou can RMB on the Wireless or wired network connections icon and use
REPAIR. | Another way is to RMB in the same icon and click STATUS and
then click on the SUPPORT tab and then click the REPAIR button. Here
you can see the results of your | actions. Vista is impossible. Haven't
seen W7 yet.
| I forgot all about the "repair" thing, probably because I've never
quite figured out what it's supposed to do. Every time I've clicked it,
it hasn't (repaired), so I just | ignore it. ;-)
That's because you keep forgetting about the NULL function in Windows. There are many, many different options in Windows that exhibit this behavior. They are *supposed* to fix or correct something, something damnit! So users keep on clicking ... and Windows keeps on executing the NULL function, which is essentially like a "Hello World" routine, only minus the Hello World portion of the code-base.
:-)
Bus seriously, I've been running Windows v7 since MS released the RC into the wild. And I have nothing but good things to say about it. For me anyway, it's been rock solid, installed like but-tah, doesn't use the NULL function, etc.
How it pains me to write those words! But I'm tired of being a second-class computer-using citizen. And I'm tired of having to *live-with-in" whatever software is only available for a ... uh hum ... a certain operating-system. It's begins with a "e" and ends with an "s".
Since using Windows full-time, I've come across so many really cool little applications and utilities. Stuff us OS/2 and eCS using masochists can only dream about having access to.
It is funny though, I see more and more Linux users finally starting to shut-up with regards to "... this year we're going to make serious inroads into the desktop ..." Kind of like how us OS/2 users were prior to 1995 with regarding the OS/2 and Windows Wars. Until we woke up one day and it was all over. Then existence and survivor became the new watch-words for our community. Remember during the whole run-up period to when eCS 1.x was released? Bob and Kim and others were here daily reporting news, thoughts, dreams, etc.
