An engineer from I believe Kenia explained it this way: Any OS that gets jammed up when the power goes in the middle of an action is not "Africa-proof" and can thus not be used. A UPS is not feasible because it costs as much as a month's family budget, and DOS doesn't require one. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

You cannot expect dot matrix drivers for twenty five year old printers to be issued under a new, modern OS. If really had any brains at all. you would open your brain up a bit and find out how to force an unsigned driver install. I have doubts that you could perform in that task either, however. > One of them always >makes the printout scaled small by about 5%. And you always send the print job with the same settings. What an idiot you are. Ever even TRY to change the settings, and see if it changes? Geez, even picking a different print engine might be all it needs. I do not expect you to know about things like print engines though. You likely have never delved into the driver settings past telling it 1 page wide by one page tall. >It is a common habit to use our CAD program to make a print out of >where the holes go, tape the picture down, punch and drill. Now there >is another step of getting the size adjusted. You could always send the finished file to a PC that DOES have the driver and simply use it as a print server. DOH! >Windows-7 is just not ready for prime time. Your capacity to make a valid assessment of an OS is what is not now, nor will it ever be ready for ANY time, much less prime time. You're just a complete idiot. Especially when you mouth off about something that is obviously 1000 times more advanced than you ever could be.

You're a complete idiot. THAT is what is ridiculous.

I did not actually see but did interact with an OS-2 machine also. I assume that the variation from person to person is going to very large.

Where was that? I once saw a software consulting shop in Germany where none of the computers were MS/IBM. All Apple.
