Oh great. Now the hospital is ringing you up with information via a robot (recorded message).
@matigo I find it astonishing that that is possible. Is it because the ones in the background are suspended?
@matigo Thanks for the kind offer but hold your horses for now. I think I'll try imaging the Linux partitions I want to keep with Clonezilla or something like that, then re-instate them to new partitions after putting Windows back to its factory state (which hopefully will be a fair bit smaller).
@streakmachine Some people are pissed off about it because a lot of BeOS apps won't run without some work being done. And you can't always get hold of the developer or source code. But it's not good for an OS if it relies on abandoned apps.
I wouldn't say it was easier, it was always very easy to install apps…unlike Linux.
@streakmachine It's a gui programme like the one BeOS had that was rarely used. I suppose it's like a smaller, more primitive version of the software centres you get in Linux distros. I'm not sure if you can download stuff from the command line though
@matigo Don't knock it, it's better than being whacked you with a bamboo stick and having 'speedo! speedo!' screamed at you.
