Yeah… I have a laptop tho, and you just click with double fingers to bring up the right click menu. They desktops do have dual click mice… there are no buttons tho, its touch sensitive… so you can turn the right click on or off.

LOL

i wish i was online more to participate in hate threads… wahts funny is the dynamic behind the history of the os war… mac guys used to give admins (whatever os) shit about cli interfaces (dos/shell) and ‘proved’ the ability by creating the mac os… windows is an all command interperated os yet recently released that they are dropping vbscript (fuckers) and that they are moving forward with more “integrated interfaces”… whereas with 10.x mac they totally shifted to(stole) a BSD model and are totally 100% reaping the benefits of a rock solid cli… roffle

macs blow… i have a power pc that is baller that i used for a project i did integrating macs with directory services on a large enterprise network… the project was cake and worked almost flawlessly… i’ll keep my power pc as a backup… but you better never believe i’d cough up over 3k to buy that piece of shit.

> so a few weeks ago i got some kind of a virus/spyware etc. one where it disables icons on your desktop etc. i ran my avg, ad-aware, spybot and got rid of most of it. the computer is running pretty fast and its pretty good. i reinstalled IE7, firefox, AIM etc and everything is good except when i am looking at a webpage, when i click to another page, open a window or something lik that, a full-page pop-up comes almost everytime. my spybot said the one thing i had that it couldnt remove was ‘Smitfraud’. well i got the smitfraud remove tool and supposed got rid of that. just for good measure, i got the vundo remove tool and ran it and it said i didnt have it. so anyways, here i am and i have done all this scanning and i still get this pop-up during a refesh or a new page. what can i do to fix it, im getting super frustrated.

beyond a number of things for tracking down bullshit, have you simlpy tried to log into your computer on another profile to see if it follows? then you might know if it’s simple or a more complex problem

You don’t gotta format 500GB to run Windows. Worry about the rest of it later.

true. A 20gb OS partition is sufficient for most. The rest can be allocated, formatted and mounted using Windows disk manager.

when it’s not a native windows filesystem you can’t quick…

x2 on vista… anyone that says it’s not the easiest windows is out of their mind… the beta i got about 2.5 years ago was ugly, but if you get a vista install and patch it, it’s golden.

I’ll be looking forward to the SP1 release fo Vista. I’ve read that it’s supposed to improve upon Vista more. As of right now I’m not impressed with how slow it is.

But I’m sure my 1GB RAM could afford to be upgraded.
