[H]omer had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 15-05-07 20:57:
There's certainly nothing easy about running Windows, except for the
ease with which it can be irrecoverably broken.
So yeah, I was familiar with Windows alright ... far too familiar.
So am I. The thing that every Windows user needs, is a Linux live CD
with K3B on it, a program to burn CDs or DVDs with, so that data may be
recovered when Windows does not boot anymore. Several times already I
have saved data for friends of mine when their Windows installation
suddenly collapsed and the computer could no longer boot, not even in
safe mode.
When I visit them, I take a few CDs with me: MCNLive (Dutch Mandriva
Live CD)+ empty CDs and an empty DVD; also a CD with the newest programs
(and updates), like OOo, Firefox and plugins like Noscript and
Adblockplus, Thunderbird, ZoneAlarm free, AVG antivirus and antispyware,
Hosts.zip, Hijackthis.exe, Startup.exe, Spywareblaster.exe,
Spybots&d.exe, Adaware.exe, Irfanview.exe+plugins, Windowsdefender. The
third CD is PartitionMagic. All this makes a useful tookit to salvage
data or clean an infected Windows Computer.
That's why I'm using Linux.
Exactly.
