Hi Arthur Beware. Soon, when you meet an XP, you'll feel like visiting a historical museum, not to mention how sick you will feel should you meet a Mac desktop sucking windows in a most ugly fashion. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Arthur Fuller Sendt: 25. juni 2013 13:43 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: [dba-Tech] Turnaround I have previously written about my dazed-and-confused state upon confronting Windows 8. Well, I take it all back. I've been living in Windows 8 for the past three days and now I love it. Mind you, it also helps that I'm running it on one seriously bitchin' laptop (fancy chip, 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard disk). The only thing it lacks is a touch-screen but I can live with that. I'm still installing various things. I'm running Oracle Virtual Box and Mint 14 inside it. Man, with 8GB of RAM VirtualBox runs just fine. Call me converted. -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr
