    How can I add win2k to a computer running Linux for a dual boot?

    << I've seen postings that say to put win2k on before Linux, but I need to do it the other way. A friend wants me to put win2k on her computer at work, but needs to leave Linux (some version of Red Hat). I've made dual boots with 98SE and win2k, but I've never used Linux, so I'm not sure...

    Isn't it the manager's prerogative whether to give you the 50 pack for the price of a 30 pack? If that's the case, which OM did you go to, cuz I know my OM manager won't give me this deal. :) Good find (if you can get it) Mark

    TOO HOT TO HANDLE! Free M$ software for some students! WinXP, Win2k, and more

    << I'm at UW-Madison as well and have called several times on the cost of software here as it seems we pay more than a lot of you other folks at other schools. Microsoft is the only product that is really very cheap here, and not as cheap as a lot of other schools. Hope the new contract does...

    Cellphone deal in WI- Unlimited airtime 39.99

    << I heard their ad on the radio in Green Bay, but never around Madison (where I go to school). Apparently, it is valid in the entire EinsteinPCS service area (not very big). But 39.99 for unlimited airtime (out of state long distance extra) isn't a bad deal. It is all digital (like Sprint)...

    Would you feel funny riding a Moped...........

    Anyone from Madison, Wi?? This place has got to be the moped capital of the United States. All UW football and basketball scholarship athletes get mopeds, keep 'em for a few years, and then sell them. So, there's a thriving used moped market here. I mean, a 10 year old moped may have at most...

    Rant about UCLA "rules"

    Goldenbear said one of the things I wanted to say: ignorance is no excuse. That's not to say I don't feel your pain, because I do. My other point was I'm confused about the whole &quot;voucher&quot; thing. You went over your daily limit? huh?? They gave you a set limit and you went over it...

    Is an automatic that bad?

    << If anyone still makes a 3 speed automatic, I don't know who it is. There are 4 and even 5 speed automatics now. >> *Waving hands in the air frantically* I know who makes a 3 speed automatic still!! The Dodge Neon has a 3 speed automatic.

    Anyone have access to a lexisnexis.com account?

    << I do. What would you be using it for? I strongly prefer Westlaw for essentially the same kind of service. They are both quite costly unless you have an unlimited account through your employer or you are a law student. >> I concur. I prefer Westlaw. I work as the part-time sys-admin...

    What car for $10-12K?

    << So if someone told you you could have a car for between $10-12K, what would it be? >> The age old question: &quot;I have xxxxx amount of dollars. What should I buy?&quot; Reading through your replies, it seems that you want the elusive &quot;perfect&quot; car. Ah feel your pain. :)...
