Hi Jason,
You prove my point......
THANK YOU !!
My computer boots to DOS with an option
to press a key and load W$n98......
The boot to DOS takes no more than 10 sec.
and lets me see that the BIOS is working
and no strange error messages or virus
warnings flash by on the screen.
Unfortunately, M$ doesn't let one see much
of what W$n is doing during bootup....so....that's
the time to get coffee!!
Then come back and check the status bar to see
if your AV, firewall, spyware, etc. programs really
started and are running........BEFORE one connects
and exposes oneself to the Internet trolls.
BTW, I have also saved myself from burning up
my printer because I didn't leave it unattended.
When the print head started to overheat because of
a transistor failure I was able to turn off the printer
and save the print head which would have burned up
otherwise.
Listening to your computer bootup also lets one
detect strange noises from failing cooling fans
or disk drives and lets one smell overheating
power supplies before they burn up.
Eric
