But your anti-Microsoft rants are getting tiresome, Christophe. >Peter was almost completely correct in what he said, and all you do is treat him >like a moron because you can't make your own system work correctly with MS >software. Just remember the saying by Forrest Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does" I have ZERO problems working within ANY operating system that I have used. I almost soley have used Windows NT systems but even when using Windows 9x I had very little problems. Christophe is an angry consumer, that is fine. Although I am not resorting to personal attacks as he is becuase I can't get Chess Tiger to do something I would like. He wrote that program by the way. And as a WINDOWS based program to boot. There is nothing like the pot calling the kettle black.
