1197073	2011-04-26 06:41:00	There are lots of systems that perform admirably at present, running the software that is most suited to the task and that the operators are proficient at using. Whether they run Dos, some kind of Apple tart or ME is irrelevant. They are used to do a job. Leap in and spend a couple of bucks on "upgrading" to Win 7 and suddenly your hardware doesn't work. No worry, just replace all the PC's, printers, scanners, UPS's, eftpos terminals, weather stations and plotters etc. Now you will be equipped to find that much of your software won't run on the wonderful new OS. Don't fret, just replace all the software with flash new releases for bonzer bling. What's this? The operators can't get the job done using all this new and totally incompatible hardware and incomprehensible software ( well, it is only incompatible with the company data and the operators). Remain calm, chuck out the operators and employ new staff. The data you have is incompatible? This is where Windows 7 finally makes sense, you can sell the whole shooting box, Hardware, Software, and Staff during the going out of business sale as "New and Unused". Your competitors will thank you for it.	R2x1 (4628)

1197075	2011-04-26 06:46:00	That ends the good(?) news ;)	R2x1 (4628)

1197077	2011-04-26 06:51:00	We must move into the 21st century! At risk of being labelled a hypocrite (sigh :rolleyes:), XP is a 21st century OS - but it was based on an OS from 2000, which is the 20th century :p	pcuser42 (130)

1197080	2011-04-26 08:10:00	Should we excommunicate or incinerate users born in the previous century? PS, Rail transport is from the 19th century. ;)	R2x1 (4628)
1197081	2011-04-26 08:27:00	PS, Rail transport is from the 19th century. ;) Which makes the PC a 1980's invention - yet we still use them today, just vastly improved and much faster ;) (Ever heard of the Matangis (en.wikipedia.org)? :p)	pcuser42 (130)
