After thinking about it for some time, this morning I annihilated my
Windows installation by putting a Linux flavor right over it. I made
sure I backed off onto a CD the stuff I had to keep. Plain text,
OpenOffice-compatible...should work.
This one actually prints. However, it seems unable to read a CD-RW that
was formatted under a Windows program. A giant Whoops?
In other words, I may have screwed myself big-time because I had been
round the block once too often with the misdeeds of operating systems
coming out of Redmond, Washington. I truly hate feeling owned. I'll be
around as soon as I can solve this mess. The email works, the browser
works, but the files...nope.
