re: Can't install Open Office Monday, October 8, 2007 at 7:00 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe Hepperle (73 messages posted) My apologies "gewg", I really thought you were a woman. Why have you responded to my post here? I did not write for help. I'm concerned that you may not handle well being one-upped? DarkLady01 has a need for clear, understandable advice. You have already given your best shot by explaining to her that the problem she has is caused by.... ooops, sorry, I guess you didn't explain anything. Your best advice was for her to "...Start by installing some of the updates (from) ...this century." If that doesn't have "I don't know what I'm talking about, but here, try this..." written all over it, I don't know what would. You already spewed your two-cents worth of nonsense in your own little thread in this question. DarkLady01 can read your guesses, and try them if she chooses. DarkLady01 can also read my factual suggestion(s) and try them if she chooses. There is no need for us to agree, or disagree, or agree-to-disagree. You simply put your rambling nonsense in your column, and I will put my clearly-written advice and suggestions in my column. If you want to take issue with any answers I've given, feel free to do so -- but do it from your column. Or you can email me with your concerns. I'm not a bad man and I don't believe you are. I don't like Micro$oft any more than you do. But I've spent years mastering Windows98 and taking control of it. I did not give up and storm off complaining about how worthless it is... okay maybe I have complained a lot about how worthless it is... but I'm still here working IT rather than letting it work me. I'll tell you what we can agree on. If you agree to start giving good advice about how these people can fix their Win98 problem(s) and quit insisting that they give up and move to a different Operating System, I will personally bake you an apple pie (a safe one) and send it to you by Express Courier. Or two, or three if you have a big family. You choose...
