I would just like to thank all of the input that I recieve on this board. A few months ago, I got my first computer, and thoroughly thrashed it. I have been an avid reader of the board, always looking for help to combat the blue screen of death. Today, with all of the things that I have learned here, I did a reformat, and full reinstall of win98, and I made a dual boot with Mandrake Linux. It NEVER would have been possible without a site like this, that is an objective and immensely helpful forum of exchange. For Kevin and all the others who put up with my rants, and endless questions...thank you. It was not in vain. = ) (*born again newbie) the chococat p.s.- everyone go check out the Gorx's site.
