OT: Getting rid of Windows Vista

[H3Jim]

Talk about a hi-jacked thread!!! How did this get from computers to Setra rear ends?

Go Dawgs!!!

Oops! Sorry, wrong thread.

Don't you have a parts bus where you bought the running busses from?

Ron yes I still have the '89 S215 HDH in Idaho and have been working on a deal to either get it hauled here soon. Or I may put it on ebay! The rear end in it won't work with out changing the gear ratio, and I can buy a heavy duty truck rear end (dump truck, cement truck, heavy hauler) with either the right ratio or one close enough to work for a lot less than I'd spend just getting the other one home! I figure I can get the whole rear end from a salvage yard for $1,000 or less hub to hub! And a chunk to change the gear ratio in the other one will be close to that if I can find the right ratio! But great thought, thanks for trying to keep me sharp! By the way check out my new thread! I have new faith!   BK 

By the way guys I didn't mean to hi-jack this thread! See the new one please!

Nothing wrong with a little controlled detour every now and then... It's easy to get a thread back on track. Sometimes something is said that reminds you of something else. No problem.

This thread is sooo long that it's getting hard to keep up...

Someone Please start a new thread just on "How to use Vista"

Actually the thread didn't get hijacked, It was redirected by a Garmin GPS and took the scenic route. Oh.. Sorry.. I just had to mention GPS....

They should have called them " Go Way Off on a Back Road Adventure Systems "

GWOBRAS  ( I know it doesn't make sense! )

I would not like to think about a GPS program running under Vista.. Vista has to stop and ask your permission to CRASH ! ( for lack of a better word . ) Gads..

And NO NASA does not use MS Windows.. It is a custom operating system built for mission critical use. It is a DOS-Like based GUI system. Pretty neat but very expensive. Linux looks about as close as any of us will ever get to "reliable"

Too bad, IBM's OS/2 was almost bulletproof but Ol'e Bill G. took that and stomped the only better operating system into the ground....So here we are...XP & Vista...

[Hartley]

Sorry Nick,

I will shut up now....

It is not Windows like you and I use Windows, but it is still a Microsoft operating system.

And still... I have zero problems on my Windows network... so 'reliable' comes down to the user and setup apparently. Sorry you guys seem to have so much trouble.
