I just booted up my returned Laptop and discovered...
...Windows Vista! Not Win XP as expected. Of course this is almost as out of date. But it works fine. Will think about replacing it with Linux Mint or Lubuntu, but there's no rush yet. I mean mostly, this'll be used to take motion videos and stop motion shots, and or delayed photos in the Studio, and maybe to show presentations on elsewhere. I don't need anything too advanced for any of that.
Hahaha. Oh shit. Reminds me when I had a friend (you had a friend?) talk me into adding a disk and tape backup to his PC many years ago. Windows 3.1 days. Got it working, made a backup. Showed him how it worked. Years later, he needs bigger disk for Windows 98. Got a backup? (Yup) We install disk, install 98, load tape, clicks full restore.... Wait for it..... Reboot!
ReplyDeleteWindows 3.1. He never ran the backup .
