This is a classic - "the make file is precompiled". What exactly is
your programming experience?

You sound like someone who has once changed a tire on their car, and
thinks they are a mechanical genius. So when the petrol gauge shows
empty, they then decide to take the engine to pieces and complain that
it's hard to put together.


Just plug the network card into the machine, and turn it on. It's that
simple!

But John, it's not for me, it's for a lady I know who fits Linux to a
T: she is frugal, doesn't want to throw out any old PCs, and doesn't
want to spend any money on software. I myself am a Windows man (since
I code in award winning Visual Studio--just upgraded to 2010 edition).

And that's the way Windows works, indeed! :-P

Hey,me too, except it was 1969..

I think my hardest moment with a computer was when I typed in line for
line a sample of Z80 assembler code from the manual.

And it wouldn't assemble.

It took me a day and a half to figure out the assembler didn't like it
all indented three spaces, like it was in the book. :-)


Today's kids are just spoilt. And whiny.
