missing my Saturn
My previous car was a '98 SL1 4 door, 5 speed, gold. Now I drive a '99
Chevy Venture minivan. I should have bought a Saturn SL1 or SL2 wagon. Japanese cars like the Civic or Corolla might have better fit/finish but are a lot more boring than the Saturn. Saturns have character. When the Venture dies, a new Ion will be in my future. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

People buy houses because they have a certain character. People buy cars for all kinds of reasons. Character is the least of "stupid" reasons. (Think: "Because it matches the color of my shoes") "Character" can embrace a variety of aspects of a car, from how you're treated at the dealership to handling to interior comfort to reliability and so on. -rj 98SL2 |

Its very stable and looks like the older o/s's and not like a fisherprice toy. XP has more bloat than I could put up with. |

XP has more bloat than I could put up with. > XP only has bloat if you let it, my XP Pro install looks, feels and acts the exact same way as my old 98 install, runs almost as fast (98 had squat for overhead) and it hasnt crashed in over a year. Win2K was a pretty good OS when it came out, and light years ahead of that piece of crap NT, but it doesnt hold a candle to XP in terms of stability, performance, and hardware support. Wurm |

Flame wars aside, I have to run XP (classic mode - not the playskool mode) because some applications for my job ONLY run on win32s, ie ESRI's ArcGIS; beyond that I'm running a couple of variants of linux on other machines. My reasons for choosing linux when possible range from the philophical to the technical. -rj 98SL2 |
