Re: Desktop pictures
When you start writing an OS you do the minimum possible to get the x86 processor in a usable state, then you try to get as far away from it as possible.

LOL should have realised that was a MacBook... the title bar of the window looked somewhat like Linux Mint at first glance.

Re: Desktop pictures
You can run windows perfectly fine from any partition on any drive, It will always (or at-least in my experience) use C as your windows install drive, unless you force it somewhere else - which can be a hassle.onlyonemac wrote:I didn't think you could run more than one version of Windows on the same computer.

The red cross on the desk is actually the OEM warning from Microsoft Server 2012, placed them there a year ago to get them out my way lol, and they are still there

Re: Desktop pictures
There's not much to say other than that, obviously, you thought wrong. I've just told you that my main computer runs three different versions of Windows.onlyonemac wrote:I didn't think you could run more than one version of Windows on the same computer.

Well I guess I just confused about the Windows thing. Really, just calm down.

Re: Desktop pictures
I recently upgraded my laptop to a new custom-build a few weeks ago. I should post a picture sometime. I've got a nice large monitor for the bit of remaining sight that I can use (and for when mom's proof-reading a document for me), but what I really like is the smooth elegant black case, Microsoft 600 keyboard and mouse (I hate Microsoft really but their keyboards are the best I've found - and really good too, for me anyway), and lovely quiet fans. I can hardly hear this thing running . Oh, and finally having a proper desktop speaker setup at my computer (*much* better than those pathetic laptop speakers that made my screenreader sound like it was talking through a plastic cup - but maybe that's because it *was* talking through a plastic cup ).

Re: Desktop pictures
I'd rather not go into details but it is a degenerative condition and has nothing to do with near-sightedness so you don't need to worrymuazzam wrote:Would you mind telling what eye sight problem do you have?
