What happened to BentRiderOnline? - Page 6

Intermittent Exploder is a piece of CRAP. I just upgraded
my system and decided to try XP pro. XP is sloooooow. IE
is slower.

I was unable to get to an URL w/ Netscrap 7.1 or
Oprah 7. I went to the M$ site and DL'd ALL the
patches and installed them. Then I tried IE.....
instant virus download, it set off all my AV
alarms! So I ran the anti-virus proggie and removed
said virus.

I removed OE by deleting the directory. Next I'll
crawl thru the registry and remove all references to
these virus baits.

This is why anyone with an IQ higher than slime mold
uses --> anything but IE/OE (Outhouse Excess).

XPlite will REMOVE IE/OE for you. 30usd.

BTW w/ my new system I think I am going back to
W98se for games, etc. Oh, and 98Lite is free!!
Removes IE/OE. Makes W98se fly!!
http://www.litepc.com/98lite.html

I have 7 systems here, 3 run Solaris (work systems),
1 W95, 1 Mandrake7, 1 W98se (wife's), and my current
system has W98se, Wxp, and Mandrake10, on 3
different disk drives. Want a diff OS, plug in that
drive. I am also going to load the new Linux 64 bit
OS on my 'AMD 64 3000+' upgrade. Of course, I have
prolly 50 disk drives laying about, some tape
drives, 4 CDs, 1 DVD writer, UPS, etc, etc.

Windows is really only good for games...

Unfortunately, being on medical leave I am
'forbidden' to use 'unix' OS's. Especially Solaris,
blehhhh. We have systems using Solaris that have run
for YEARS w/ little or no problems. No m$ OS can
match it. The longest running one I have personally
seen was up/online over 5+years. It went off in a
grid wide power failure. Auto-booted when power was
restored, and last I heard was still working fine.

I think Netscrap was my 1st browser back in 1984, I
have also used 'HotJava' ... gack. The browser I
like best is Opera.

At my workplace the prez sent out a memo when XP was
released, anyone caught hooking it (XP) to our
networks would be 'immediately' terminated.

Doesn't the above just about say it all. Bil is one in ten
thousand. No one else would ever even think of going to all
this trouble just to avoid Microsoft, although he is making
all sorts of compromises there too. The bottom line is that
no one can avoid Microsoft. Since that is the case, why not
make the best of it without going to the ends of the earth
in order to avoid it. If Bil only knew how uninterested most
of us are in our computers he would never post such
foolishness as he has here on ARBR.

IE can be uninstalled. 98Lite will do it. XPlite will
do it. With W98 it can even be done manually, if you
are a masochist.... After using 98lite I crawl the
registry deleting any references to IE/OE. Usually 4-5,
I think. Easy.

Yeah, giving root access to anyone on my machines
but me is a death warrant. Hit'm again, his eyes
twitched....

I see Solaris is available for x86, again. Free
binaries, for one system only: URL has a length of
84 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL

Oops, you need to register at the site 1st. Still

His handwriting is lousy (did I also say that I am usually
his personal secretary also when he has business letters to
write? LOL -- and before you think that he's taking
advantage of me, he's my automotive consultant and personal
chauffeur when I need a ride to or from the mechanic's or to
and from the airport, etc., so it all balances out) and he
hates writing because nobody can read it (sometimes he can't
even read it himself LOL), so email is great for him. But
Usenet is too much for him.

Different strokes, ya know...

Melinda, I once had a great Aunt who used to write me
regularly when I was in the Navy and at college. Her
handwriting was something to behold. I use to spend hours
trying to decipher what it was she was saying to me. After
many years of this I actually got quite good at it. Then,
occasionally I would show these letters to others and they
were always amazed that anyone could possibly read them. It
basically looked like nothing but chicken scratches to them.
Ah well, those kind of days are gone forever now. It is like
something out of a Charles Dickens' novel.

Having 40 gigs of music does not make him a thief, I have

I do to BUT: The troll has bragged that it DL's the
files using Kazaa. It is too cheap to pay for
anything it could steal. And as a shrub apologist it
is of course useless and worthless.

The Senate has confirmed that ALL the reasons shrub
used for attacking Iraq were lies.

War for OIL2 ... believe it.

Better to be a retarded genius than a blooming idiot like
you! But I always have to laugh at these morons who delight
in their one-upmanship when it comes to finding their way
around a computer. The fact is though they can't find their
way around a subject as they prove every time they post.
They are like idiot savants. They know the how but not the
what or the why of anything. Like I said - a blooming idiot!

To should be too. But there are other things wrong
with the sentence above. See if you can figure out
what they might be?

I have said it before and I will say it again - why are all
the top posters idiots (I have edited his post to make it
correct)? Or is it that all idiots are top posters? So here
we have a slob who does not observe the elementary decencies
of Usenet posting and he has the gall to call others dull
and stupid. He is of course describing himself to
perfection.

You nothing but a busy-body who has got to be active all the
time or you would drive yourself even nuttier than you
already are. Why don't you engage your mind and pursue
something intellectual and thereby become intelligent and
literate. The world is full of your types who mistake
activity for progress. You strike me as being permanently
retarded at about the age of
16. How must it be to feel yourself a child all of your
life I wonder?

Like I said previously in my post (which you can read
above at the top of this post - thanks to me) no one can
avoid Microsoft, not even this busy-body Bil character.
But he does not read any better than he writes. He most
likely has a computer for a brain which is why he is so
screwed up all the time.

I am at one with the kids on the issue of musical piracy via

And then I would not have to put up with your idiotic posts
anymore either - a nice little dividend.

More childish nonsense from this Bil character. I would
guess that he is about 16 years old. He hates Microsoft and
the same way I hate Muslims, only my hatred is rational and
his is irrational.

I will stay here just to keep characters like you in check.
Why should ARBR be given over to idiots like you for lack of
a monitor like me.

Can you not write literate English? You need to get your
head out of the computer and place it between some book
pages. Your literacy is that of a 16 year old child. Only
computer geeks write like you do.

Bil thinks that it is OK to write the same way you talk.
That is ever the mistake of illiterates like him. Mark
Twain could do this sort of thing, but Bil can't. Trust
me on this!
