That really would't surprise me :smart:
anyway how's tricks did you eventually get a bigger mill that would actually fit in your workshop, I still chuckle about the one you won on ebay that was 2'-0" higher than the workshop roof :lol:
Bet you'd thought we all forgot eh :)

OK ................. I'm back courtesy of Linux (or Gloria) :smart: as it appear to be affectionately known
All seems well so far, well I can browse the web anyway .................. blimey I can see my home network, and access the files ............ often more than I can do with XP ...............
OK ............... No sound so far :bang: and not accessing the printers, but on the whole much easier to get this far
Can we discuss another computer related issue here as well guys, antivirus software ................... it just seems to take over my life and is a real PITA .............. any suggestions.

You'll have to ask the knowledgeable ones, but as I understand Gloria is quite immune to viruses, that's half the point of her existence.
I thought the network stuff would jump into action, must try it sometime.
I never bothered much with networks with Windoze as it was a pia to set up and failed if you coughed in the same room meaning seting it up from scratch again and again and ....well it was unreliable for me. When it did work it often stated you didn't have permission to access the files "see your administrator" I am the admin and I ain't got a clue !!!
As for printer probs, maybe the vendor has a Linux driver?

Oi! :wack:
Yup decided against turning the workshop into a giraffe house and bought one of these bad boys http://www.amadeal.co.uk/xj20.htm. I still have no idea what I am doing with it though but intend to get very well acquainted with it over the winter.
