Just a quick word to urge y’all not to buy Microsoft’s new Windows XP. I’ve just wasted half the day trying to install it, and it’s just wiped out my DSL connection as a reward. It’s incompatible with loads of things that work perfectly well without it, and is also loaded up with all those creepy Microsoft gimmicks to make you buy more from the evil monopolist. God, I hate Microsoft. And don’t try calling support. The phone line is backed up for hours. A friend was basically screwed for three days trying to get it to work with his existing programs … but of course it’s designed to screw with those products and get you to buy more Microsoft ones. Sorry for venting, but is there anything more irritating than computer screw-ups? OK, ok, there’s the Boston Globe, but this stuff is up there.
