Oh my God!
You guys are talking like Microsoft!
Considering that we've just told you some ways to save a fair amount of
money that you would have given to MS, I'll have to disagree on that.
As in... "Just do what I say and all will be well!"
Where exactly did anyone say that?
Can you not see that your assumption level is pretty high?
Actually, no.
How about bringing it down about a half-dozen notches?
How about expanding on what it is that you don't understand?
Please keep in mind that my time in these groups is very limited, and if I
reply to you, there is information in the reply.
I am not computer illiterate. I was probably using them before you were
born!
That may be a rather significant assumption on your part.
However, I've been lead down this primrose path to disaster so many
times in the past by Microsoft that I am more than just a little gun-shy!
So back up your data first. If you need help, ask for it clearly.
If you have a backup of all your data, in the worst case you are no more
than a few hours work (much of which is waiting) from getting back to work
on a brand-new machine.
I NEED to feel that warm and fuzzy feeling that I am doing the right
thing!
There are only two circumstances in which that "warm and fuzzy" feeling is
available.
The first is if you are prepared for the worst and understand your
situation. The second is when you are deluded.
My recommendation is the first. Back up your data and understand why you
are doing what you are doing, before you start.
That means, whether you like it or not, or whether you understand it or
not,
I need desperately to be convinced that I have been adequately informed of
what I have to do!
You have been informed. But no-one else can make you understand that; you
have to do some of the work.
All the information you need is there, and it's pretty clear. If you need
help, explain what it is you need help with.
Perhaps you are not aware that I, personally, am not related in any way with
MS, and am not in any way paid for my time here.
If you need to be convinced that you've been adequately informed, a good
portion of the responsibility for getting to that state rests with you.
And you simply saying so is no better than saying... "The
check is in the mail!"
Can you appreciate where I'm coming from?
No, I can't, unless you can appreciate that you've just had all your
questions answered, in detail, with options, in the format that you
requested.
And I wonder if you can appreciate that nobody's being paid to do this.
If there is something in the reply that you do not understand, it would help
to know what it is.
If you have questions, please ask them clearly. As it is, I have no idea
what it is that you don't understand.
God, I hate Billy and his boys!
Hope this helps.
