1-. My Amiga Machine can be Booted & shutdown also in less than half of your boot time ;)


Must be nice.  It takes my A3k more than a minute to even start booting. :-o

my point about the boot time was a PC thing, yeah


My PC's have reasonable boot-up and log on times, to me atleast.  However, my Win2k machines rarely ever get (re)booted and, when they do, I tend to push the button, leave the room and forget I was planning to use the computer for something.

My Dad's PC OTOH, takes forever to boot!  I built it this past weekend (Athlon 2000+, ect.) and the Win2k install was FAST.  In 15 minutes, I had that puppy up and running, fully installed.  But, reboot it and it sits at the Win2k splash screen for about 90 seconds.

Did your cat slap you after you did that to it? :lol:


Minnie did that all on her own.  I was deciding on a tie to wear to an interview, and she stuck her head into the one I was holding.  It struck me as amusing, so I took a picture. 8-)
