You wrote back to me instead of replying here as you should have:
"Firstly, someone asked and I knew the answer and wanted to help. Second, I hate
those cute but time
wasting 'cartoons'. And... it's just fun to hack into Beely-Gates property. For example,
I have a stripped
down WinXP PRO. It's about 125MB if I make a compressed GHOST image of the drive.
I can expand the image onto the HDD of a totally different computer and XP will run
(of course it goes thru the PnP evolution). But it is a WinXP PRO customized to my
wants and needs that I don't have to install, just load the drive from the GHOST
image. Now, Beely-Bob wouldn't like that, would he. So, what's the point. Like climbing
a mountain. Because it is there and I can."
Then its like asking someone else how to solve a puzzle. If you don't do it yourself,
what's the point? Your analogy is nonsense.
