You got it.
But, I have always said, that ease of use, does not necessarily/ness..necses.. always mean that its a good computer!
I mean, look at linux! - that can be a 2at to setup for the modem, but most ISP these days are using it ( 60% or more ).
It will be the same with the Atari, I can tell you. Once its done, jot down what you need to know for in case you need it sometime in the future ( you probably will ).
I dont have a normal Modem, just the Software one, so I cant use it on the Atari, or Linux, which is annoying, but I only need to do 2 things now, so I can completely ditch Windows altogether!
1. Get StonX working so I can still use Atari Software on the PC.
2. Get a Modem working.
The Modem will also be used for the Atari too!
Weirdly, one of my best uses for the PC is Emulating the Atari, and Mac, and I have always found, that Windows may well be a good O/S, and it does this, and it does that, but as we all know....
At the end of the day, its probably the worst O/S you can get!
My god! - I use Magic 6 and Jinnee 2.5 on the Atari's and Linux ( KDE 2.1 ) on the PC but both of those give me far more control than bloody windows does!
Nah! - as far as I am concerned, Windows, and hopefully MicroSoft as a whole, do not have a future! - The only thing that is keeping them going, is that 95% of PCs you buy these days, have Windows already installed, and this means, that 90% of those owners know nothing better!
Sod it. I will come clean. I hate MicroSoft, and everythign it stands for!
They buy out the main competition, and what they cant, they copy, and re-package it - often saying that they were the original developers of it.
Ah well, its supposed to be an Atari Site, so I will leave it there I think.
