to do it again, expecting different results. What's it called when you want
to keep doing the same thing but expect different results? Insanity?
Todays Liberalism is for the insane!


That is the usual definition of insanity.

It also describes the experience of running Windows, because you often
have to repeat the same thing several times before getting the expected
result.

I keep hearing that, but I haven't seen it. I have an old PC running
ME. The original OS install has survived three hard drives & five
motherboards with no problems. I only use it to scan old manuals these
days, but lots of penguin molesters kept telling me that you had to
reinstall it every 30 to 45 days. It was used daily for over six years,
and only recently got moved to the library where I store my out of print
service manuals.

OTOH, a lot of penguin molesters are too stupid to learn how to use
Windows without causing problems for yourself. I've run a lot of
operating systems, including some I'm sure that you never even heard
of. i also found it interesting that the $80,000 Telemetry receivers
we built had to run Windows CE before the US government would buy them.
Linux and all other OS were listed as unacceptable. I currently have a
half dozen computers running different builds of Linux, but it doesn't
impress me.
