[wgbjr]

Tech related, or other.

Holy H*ll, don't let my one fellow co-worker here see that post!.....He got really burned one time because a person told him "Linux is a nice little program."......He about bit the guys head off for calling an OS a program!

But I must agree, it would be great if the world wasn't monopolized my MS and everybody could use Linux, it's just not dumb-friendly, I mean user-friendly enough yet!

BTW....I carry EZ-Drive everywhere I go!

I hope this counts. I have every boot disk of every MS-OS ever made. They always come in handy when you got to do something like bios update, or attrib or deltree and you have machines with different oses.

win95a,b,c win98,se,dos 5-7 etc....

I would have to say drive image pro has saved me SOOOOOO much time, especialy when we get 30 new laptops in that need the same 15 programs loaded. it takes a half day to get the first one set exactly how you want it, then make an image in 15 minutes, then 7 minutes per system after that.

[skut]

win boot disk(s) and ghost.

oh yeah..i normally copy msconfig to all of my boot disks...makes life easier when dealing w/ a 95 machine.

This is a little off topic, but I've found that having a free account at one or more of the so-called "internet hard drives" can be handy thing to have. Assuming you have net access at the site you're at, you can store and retrieve your service programs/files from the customer's machine, not to mention having a backup source of these files if your service copy gets messed up by the customer's computer.

I use Xdrive ( www.xdrive.com ) myself.

[Green Iguana]

SpinRite HDD utility.

[CobraTekMax]

BONZI BUDDY!

Seriously, though he's not particulary USEFUL, BB used in conjuction with with Netbus or some other remote admin can provide some quality entertainment. Wait till the boss sits down with an important client, then crank the volume up, start the little ape, go to "Speak mode" and type in weird stuff like "Would you please shave my testicles?" My current favorite BB line is "I was originally supposed to be a penis." Every now and then, though, I make him rap Eminem songs.

As far as something that actually HELPS though, Winzip gets my vote, especially the self extractor creator.

Clatu...Verata...nnnn...necktie...nectur...nickel. ...it's definately an "N" word...

Ghost wins hands down.

[shawnMt]

A 95B boot disk that will start 95% of cdroms, and has everything from ATTRIB to XCOPY. If you cram just right you can get Spinrite on it too.

Winzip and Ghost are pretty high on the list also.

------------------
Paint your old laptop!

[AlienDyne]

Ghost and a nice set of bootable disks with CD-ROM support.

I have to mention my 3 CDs containing various drivers.
Can't do without them!
