Benoit, Arguing to make post count higher makes you one.. <br>A NOOB! Ahhhh!! Run run run!!<p>Hm.. And you are violating Wizard's third Rule!<p>Anyways, XP has advantages and disadvantages. On my laptop XP works Just the way I wish and I have no problems with it. <p>Anyways, I wonder who will win in this debate.. Hm.. I put my money on..<p>Hehe I'll leave it in suspense..<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1083776117[/TIME]][/size]

<blockquote>Benoit, Arguing to make post count higher makes you one..<br>A NOOB! Ahhhh!! Run run run!!</blockquote><br>Shut up. I don't post to raise my post count.<br> <blockquote>ARE YOU DONE YET? I'M TIRED OF HEARING YOU WHINE ABOUT IT. The computer ONLY does what YOU tell it to.</blockquote><br>That would be perfect, wouldn't it? Sadly, that's not true.<br> <blockquote>That's not true. Mine was easy access. If you DO have that, make shortcuts. </blockquote><br>You seem to have one that was already customized, or a 'special version'. <br>I had to look all over the place. If you open the Control Panel, most of the settings are not there, you have to find them in other ways.<br> <blockquote>Not true again. I have 98 and 95. They both are difficult to use, it's a miricle if they open the net....</blockquote><br>Well, I do know you long enough to know you aren't exactly the smartest with computers.<br>Win95 and Win98 were easy. It was just Control Panel > Network, or Control Panel > System, and it was all there. Not scattered all over the place.<br> <blockquote>Now I switched to XP, and I'm a VERY happy man. As I said, the computer ONLY does what you tell it to. Otherwise, take it back.</blockquote><br>But of course, Mr. Biased. XP is your god. We know it already.<br>And XP DOES call you an idiot. Indirectly, but it does. All those tooltips, numerous questions and confirmations (look at Goldark's post) and explanation... Yuck!

Will you stop complaining?! It does NOT call me an idiot. It you think that, there's something terribly wrong with you. You're more insane than I thought.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Prince Noah on [TIME]1092086277[/TIME]][/size]

I don't post to raise my post count.</blockquote> <br>Don't you? How come ou were so worked up about the "What are you Listening to" thread? I'll tell you...because YOU were mad that you were missing out on posts! You're the only one who cares about the number of post counts that we all have. And don't be rude to Khyron...he's saying what we're all thinking.<br> <blockquote>But of course, Mr. Biased. XP is your god. We know it already.</blockquote> <br>If he's biased at all, you're at least as biased as him. You won't recognize the good in XP, only the bad. And don't resort to insulting a member to promote your point...I thought that you would be the last person to do that.<p>And Benoit, I respect you for trying it out, but you still haven't played around with it enough for me to give your opinion credibility.

I was upset that there was a thread devoted to something I couldn't participate in. I felt left out of it.<br> <blockquote>If he's biased at all, you're at least as biased as him.

Honest.<br> <blockquote>And don't resort to insulting a member to promote your point...I thought that you would be the last person to do that.</blockquote><br>Yes, you're right. Still, I'm tired of him always hailing XP. I don't go around hailing my Win95 OSR2.<br> <blockquote>And don't be rude to Khyron...he's saying what we're all thinking.</blockquote><br>OMG! You can read minds?! ~0 <br> <blockquote>Sure, Benoit. I'm a bad evil god because I like XP. Will you stop complaining?! It does NOT call me an idiot.

Honestly, it's madness.<br>And you still fail to see what I meant by XP calling its user an idiot. I've explained it several times, but you don't get it. I'll just leave it at that.

ALSO, I never said you went hailing your 95. I never said that. Besides, YOU hail Mozilla all the time, which is horrible by the way.<p>But....we'd BOTH do best to just leave it at that.

Okay, kiddies, we need to put the facts together. This has turned into name-calling, but I won't get into that shit because Khyron has already dealt with it.<p>1) Noah likes XP, because he finds it resourceful and easy to use<p>2) Benoit like 98 because he finds it resourceful to and easy to use.<p>This would mean what? That both of them like their OS's because it fits their needs? That different people like to manage their resources differently ? Is that difficult to understand?<p>

OKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<p>This should end here! Now after having my computer for some time I have found that XP has been better than my old Win95. Is it better, who knows? Maybe its the upgrade from Pentium 1 to Pentium 4. I don't know enough about computers to answer that. it is faster and better than before thats all I know. But this is stupid. You put video games in place of operating systems, and we may as well argue over why some game is better than another. In the end its back and forth opinions. Sheesh.....

My laptop runs on XP and is faster than this PC at everything.<p>Maybe it's the 1.67 ghz processor as opposed to this PC's 266 mhz.. LOL<p>All I know is Windows XP works great on the laptop designed for it. It was CUSTOM BUILT by a tech so it is kinda nice.<p>Only problem is to find updates for it, I can't because the specs on it differ greatly from the original configuration.<p>It's nice though..<p>XP has some good points.<p>And Noah, Khyron is your god :D Not xp ^_^

<blockquote>You said yourself that you listen to video game music...you could post that there.</blockquote><br>Except that I don't listen to it often. And when I do, I'm not browsing a board (at least not the first time). I keep it separated, to keep my attention.<br> <blockquote>EXCUSE ME? I do NOT hail XP. Where did you come up with THAT?! ALSO, I never said you went hailing your 95. I never said that.</blockquote><br>I know you never said that. It's called a comparison.<br>Yes, you hail XP. At every single moment an OS comes up, you come and say XP is the best etc. It's the impression I get.<br> <blockquote>He made a post to brag because he got a new computer. HE was happy!<br>That was his right to brag about it, It is not the right of others to<br>put him down or insult each other because he chooses something<br>differently! I mean my god, this is hurting HIS feelings.</blockquote><br>Except that we are not talking to Neo. And I'm sure he didn't choose XP. Hell, you CAN'T even choose anything else!<br> <blockquote>Personal attacks are not appreciated Benoit, or anyone else for that matter.<br>This is going downhill..</blockquote><br>Note that I didn't call him an idiot. And I tried saying that he didn't know computers well as kindly as possible. It's a fact, you know. Tried [img]C:\image.gif[/img] ?<br> <blockquote>Stop the arguing Benoit, and others so he can post what his system is.<p>Because of you, He is afraid to post his specs because of lurking vultures!</blockquote><br>Except that I only care about the OS. Other stuff doesn't matter that much.<br> <blockquote>This should end here! Now after having my computer for some time I have found that XP has been better than my old Win95. Is it better, who knows?</blockquote><br>You didn't get the latest version of Win95, which even has limited USB support. :D<br> <blockquote>Maybe its the upgrade from Pentium 1 to Pentium 4.</blockquote><br>Yup, that's it.<br> <blockquote>You put video games in place of operating systems, and we may as well argue over why some game is better than another. In the end its back and forth opinions. Sheesh.....</blockquote><br>That's not a valid comparison. A valid one would be operating systems and consoles, or their BIOS.<br> <blockquote>This would mean what? That both of them like their OS's because it fits their needs? That different people like to manage their resources differently ? Is that difficult to understand?</blockquote><br>What you forget here is that just because it suits them doesn't mean it manages the resources better.<br>Also, Noah is a casual user, who knows how to use Windows and the Internet to an extent, but that's it. I know more than that, I'm what you would call an advanced user.<br>I could make an OS tomorrow, and maybe you would like it because it does what it does, while I could make it that it only uses 32 MB of your RAM instead of your 128 MB. In that case, it would be kind of sucky while there are OSes that came out earlier which could do that.

I doubt Benoit could make a OS. He can't even help me on a project I spoke to him about. The Princess maker one.. SO therefore his point is invalidated.<p>It doesn't matter what he uses Benoit, he'll use it. And your words will not stop him. You're going to make enemies and I for one won't feel any pity when you do.<p>Maybe his illness makes it hard for him to understand this, It is his excuse everytime on other forums... Right here is proof his illness may be at fault:<p>~"This, by the way, is one of the many typical things of having Asperger's Syndrome. I greatly dislike change, and it makes me uncomfortable. "~<p>Your attacking people won't change their minds, Opinions won't change their minds, Nothing will. So let it slide.<p>He wants to brag about his new computer, let him! Every other tangent you go off on is irrelevent. This is fastly becoming a "Like something Benoit doesn't and get harrassed." <p>This is bickering, not debating people. Friendships are ruined this way. If this keeps up, I'll stop caring and respond.<p>I'm such a calm person! ^^<p>P.S. I don't like to see people persecuted and mocked for their beliefs. You agreed with me BENOIT, so STOP DOING IT!<p>P.S.S. You keep mocking people for what they like and you're no better than those who do.<p>P.S.S.

Just wait and see... ;) And even if I couldn't, that doesn't invalidate my point. Because it was "IF".<br> <blockquote>It doesn't matter what he uses Benoit, he'll use it.

Strike one.<br> <blockquote>Maybe his illness makes it hard for him to understand this, It is his excuse everytime on other forums...
