You're demonstrating once again how unpleasant you are and how illogical
and puerile your arguments can be.

You tell Bill that automatic backups is not the topic. However, the
first sentence in this thread was "On the System Restore Page it says
that XP automatically creates restore points (called System
Checkpoints)." Got it wrong didn't you!

You say leave the computer on 24/7. You are told that is not necessary
by me ( not Bill originally). You attack Bill not me. Got it wrong
didn't you!

You do not have to leave the computer on 24/7 to get automatically
created restore points. My computer is not on 24/7 and I daily get
automatically created restore points. Got it wrong didn't you!

You accuse Bill "You failed to admit the fact that you are talking about
something completely different from the topic subject (not unusual for
you). Why should he? Got it wrong didn't you!

You say of Bill "YOU are an eccentric user who does an image of your
system before installing a new program." Now to my way of thinking that
is off topic, totally uncalled for and extremely unpleasant. Got it
wrong didn't you!

I think you are more comfy (and more knowledgeable) in:
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion. Definitely off topic and
childish.

Hope this helps.

LOL, I doubt it. (And I wouldn't hold my breath. :-)
(I'm pretty sure it was (yet another) "whooooosh" moment. :-)

Ahhh, I missed that.

No you didn't. I said that the system needs to be on 24x7 and you
took exception.

The system does NOT need to be on 24x7 to get automatic backups.
I repeat,
the system does NOT need to be left on 24x7 to get automatic
backups.

The topic is System Restore Checkpoints, not automatic backups.

Automatic System Restore Checkpoints (for me, used as just one backup
option).
Your turn (but I won't wait up for it :-)

You failed to admit the fact that you are talking about
something completely different from the topic subject (not
unusual for you).

That said (again) YOU are an eccentric user who does an image
of your system before installing a new program. If you don't
like the new program, you restore from the image.

That is very strange behavior. And very time consuming.

Most folks install the software, and if they don't like it they
use either the software's uninstall utility or "Add or Remove
Programs" to uninstall it.

If their system becomes scrambled, they fall back on System
Restore.

If THAT fails, THEN they go to their backup.
