Sorry, Camaleón, it indeed wasn't. It was Tom H. I apologise. You appear to
me to be arguing on the same side as I am.
I _like_ tried and tested. I _like_ stable. I upgrade my workhorse when
there is a good reason, and am rarely an early adopter. Let other people
iron the bugs out. Where I want to follow something new (e.g. Trinity) I do
it on a non-production machine.
GRUB 2 strikes me as great, except when it causes problems. Too many people
report unbootable systems with GRUB 2, and it seems to be difficult to edit.
I would prefer to wait a little longer for it to settle down.
I dislike change for change's sake. We have an ad running currently in this
country that makes me want to throw something at the television every time I
see it. :-(
This woman is bullyied/manoeuvered/tricked into getting a new Windows computer
which she needs, not because her old one has gracefully (or even less
gracefully) died, not because she is about to shoot and edit a complex bit of
cinematography and her computer isn't man [or woman, of course ;-)] enough,
not because there is any problem at all, but because her computer is 8 years
old. There is nothing wrong with it. It is 8 years old. So she needs a new
computer. Ouch :-(
My computer is seven years old. It appears a little memory challenged at the
moment. I shall run memtest before I even think of upgrading the memory,
since one of the sticks might be faulty. I have had a cursory look at
motherboards and motherboard bundles - but only briefly.
