Not Only on Search...
Also on Windows... As I sit here typing and could be sleeping... I have a Windoze box that went totally stupid and forgets how to talk to its hard drive... Gives an "Inaccessible Boot Device" message half way through loading Windows from the drive that it apparently claims it can't access!!!

Funny thing though, I burned a CD with KNOPPIX on it the other day, set the CMOS to boot from CD and hey presto I can see the drive and ALL the files that I can not get to with Windows... I attached to another computer through the network and am in the process of moving my files off of it... Just think of Knoppix as a "rescue disk" on steroids...

I think combined with a "USB Memory Stick" I might just use KNOPPIX as my "laptop" too...

It is too cool... Oh yeah, what was I saying about Microsloth and search... FIX THE OS FIRST!!!
