I suppose that would be true but why would I ask in a linux group if I
wanted help.
They aren't very helpful IME, and the people here are far more knowledgeable
than most linux users.

I have decided its just not going to work so I have relegated the vaio to
win98se.
I have a Kodak film scanner that only works on 98 so it will be better use
there.

I have a Tosh with Ubuntu on it anyway but I was going to put OS X on that,
now I will have to find another machine to play with OS x.
This Samsung would be ideal but I only have one sata disk so that is out
ATM.

I still don't think much of 7.10 it is little different to 7.04 but more
difficult to install IME.

Untrue.

I was helped with installing Ubuntu on a VM here.
I would have been quite happy if Ubuntu had installed on the vaio.
However having seen Ubuntu on another machine I wouldn't expend much effort
on getting it to run.
There are better alternatives to Ubuntu in the Linux world and in the
windows world.

As I have said before there is nothing wrong with using Linux or even Ubuntu
if it does what is required.
The same is true for windows even though you would disagree (while
continuing to use it).
I think you /are/ only here to dis windows BTW and do keep offering very
poor advice to other people.

If you really wanted help, you would have asked for it at an Ubuntu
forum. Ergo, you really didn't want any help.

I admit I am a novice and never claimed to be an expert. That said, I
can, unlike you, at least install Ubuntu without any real problems.

Re: Walmart offers for a wimpy $39.00

There is NOTHING wrong with top posting in many newsgroups.
If you CHOOSE to post in a newsgroup where top posting is acceptable,
it is you that needs to accept it or make appropriate changes.
If you are unwilling, that is also YOUR choice and no one else's.

As for:
"A. Because that way it makes sense.
Q. Why bottom post?"
That is a very old excuse and ignores the fact that the thread is
ongoing and relatively few need to read the old again.
When the question has already been read, there is no reason to read it
again if it is remembered.
If memory is unclear, the question can easily be scrolled.

"Wintard"
Your continued need for name calling and insults show your true
motives of bashing windows and those who like Windows while pretending
to help others.

Name calling and insults are needed only by those insecure in their
beliefs, not by those with confidence.

Um, select message in its preview pane or open it. Raise hand, use

I was referring to top posting as Wintard, not the poster. Acting stupid
and being stupid aren't necessarily the same thing unless you're Frank.

I didn't insult someone but some thing. Of course your Wintard top
posting and sig delimiter nuked the rest of the message that you
erroneously say can be reviewed when you employ top posting.

Speaking of people using insults, is your high moral horse sick when it
comes to Frank?

Re: Walmart offers for a wimpy $39.00

"It's retarded"
It is accepted in many newsgroups and you know it.
Your inability to accept something that many others accept displays
why some of your prejudices seem unseen by you.
If you do not like something that is acceptable, it is up to you to
change or leave.
An option is not to have others comply with your CHOICE and ignore
their own.

"Yeah, especially people that just subscribed"
They can easily scroll and read the posts.

"select message in its preview pane"
You can read post however you choose.
You are in no position to have others change from an acceptable form
of posting.
In your forum you can dictate, this is NOT yours.

"I was referring to top posting as Wintard, not the poster."
And yet in the same paragraph you refer to Frank.
Sometimes it seems you do not read what you write.
Your continued NEED to call names and insult is evidence of this.

"I didn't insult someone but some thing."
Is that how you refer to Frank as "some thing"?

"Speaking of people using insults, is your high moral horse sick when
it comes to Frank?"
Your continued comparisons of yourself to Frank demonstrate why you
find insults acceptable.
Who does Frank mostly insult?
Does that person return the same?
If so they are the same and neither is in any position to say anything
about the other.
You probably feel you do it less than Frank and therefore conclude how
good you are.
You need a different standard unless you admire Frank.
As I have suggested before you both need to change.
But I doubt you will since as before you seem to use Frank as your
standard.

Re: Walmart offers for a wimpy $39.00

If people have any sense, they will read from the top such that nothing is
missed. It works well on most posts, except for the ones where you, Frank
and AA trade insults.

No, not if you don't mind being seen as a fool, arrogant and
self-important. Hey, I've read enough of your crap to know that
describes your posting style perfectly and likely your character as
well. People are what they are and what you choose to share about
yourself in your writing says a lot.

You add nothing to the discussion, regardless of thread. You need to
do your holier-than-thou routine, then when accused of being stuck-up
and pontificating you pout like a little baby. While you always claim
to have no desire to control who says what or where they post you're
jolly on the spot being condescending every chance you get.

>If you CHOOSE to post in a newsgroup where top posting is acceptable,

If you knew anything about Usenet which this newsgroup is a part of,
you would understand that top posting is ALWAYS frowned on by
experienced posters. That leaves one of two conclusions. Either you're
not anywhere near as "experienced" as you love to pretend or you
simply don't give a sh*t and get some rush out of making sure whatever
crap you want to say always is at the top so nobody misses it. So at
best you're a ignorant fool or at worse an ignorant fool that don't
mind if he's seen that way because he (you) get off on it.

What's the matter, did I strike too close to home Jupiter? I had you
figured out months ago and have had decades of spotting prima donna
types like you. Actually it is easy. You're all alike and stick out
like a sore thumb. Now that you know, will you change? No fu*cking way
because you LIKE being what you are: A pompous, over-bearing
condescending blowhard.

What a load of crap! Frank deals in the truth? On what planet, not
earth. You are by far the biggest and always deliberate liar here.

Then you won't have a bit of troubled listing which newsgroups approve
of top posting. I'll be waiting for your list.

Projecting again are you mr prius?

Read your own post for once. It's disgusting how you greet and treat
anyone and everyone who disagrees with you. You're a disgusting pig of
human being!

Ever try posting just one of your personal opinions without insulting
the op?
Ever?

Exactly what you are. I watched your responses and after a very short
time you emerged as one of the biggest blowhard pompous as*holes I've
ever seen in any ng. Then I decided to start kicking your fat ignorant
arrogant arse all over this ng with my #13's, which I've been
successfully doing ever since.
Now I've infected your little pig brain with the exact same treatment
you give everyone else who you disagree with or who disagrees with you.
And you can't take it, you crying little baby.

Better yet big mouth, why don't you supply a list of those ng's that
disapprove of top posting along with a copy their rule in writing.
We're all waiting for your list.
