Current Software Configuration

Something about using Windows made me feel hypocritical and slutty.

MacOSX Week: Tales of a BeOS Refugee by Scot Hacker

I am a heretic. I don't feel like a heretic, but I am one. I am a heretic because I am currently using Windows 2000. I had Red Hat Linux on for a while, but I tried out OpenBSD, it didn't like my mouse, and I subsequently installed Win2k. I would have gone back to Red Hat, but I don't have the latest version, and the CD's I do have are scratched up pretty badly.

Windows 2000 Professional with latest service pack, latest DirectX

384 MB's RAM makes Win2k happy
