Restore point sounds like the history palette in Photoshop,
well it’s not really BANG. 🙂 Takes about 5 minutes.
does this really work well?
It worked so so in windows me. I’ve used it about 3 times in the couple of years w/XP and it’s been flawless.
Where is sytem restore in case I ever need to hit it?
start> programs> accessories> system tools.
Tip: In case of trouble you can start windows in "safe mode" by hittin f5 (or with a couple more choices, F8 – gets you cd support too). from there you can run restore from a vanilla desktop.
Somehow, I get the idea that if I never went online with this machine I would be better off. You know, do all my online surfing on a Mac?
naw it’s not that bad. i’m on all the time with cable access. get a good firewall ( zonealarm <
http://www.zonelabs.com> is free and excellent) and with anti-virus and safe computing (don’t open attachments from people you don’t know, etc) you’ll have no problems. I’ve been using windows since the dos days and I’ve NEVER had a virus. (well once at work, but that was nimda and it attacks open, unpatched iis installations… now i’m allowed to install my own patches! <g>)
