This just might come in handy when the Orion rolls out ... My ArgoV, which has been to the factory once for infant-mortality repairs, suddenly developed a "rasp" in its audio. The sort of thing norma
Uh-oh! I hope when I turn on my Orion for the first time I don't see monochrome clouds and a "Your Orion was not properly shut down. Please wait while we restore the system"! Of course...my Titan 425
They'll get this worked out. Just because it's a computer doesn't mean it should require reseting. For example, my Sun SPARC 10 has been up for over 700 days. Since 1996, it's only gone down a few of
This is not quite true. It is NOT the "computer." I have had Linux systems going for months (some for years) with plenty of action and no reset required. It is NOT a "computer" problem as much as it
Neither has any copy of Windows NT 3.5, NT4.0 and XP that I've been running -- either on the home network (5 machines) or as a member of my college. (Heck, even Windows with DOS ran very reliably fo

Well, I hope this doesn't start many flames, but I've had Win2K up and running (on UPS) for over a year running Oracle 8i with narry a restart or reboot. I thin Clark is correct - it's the system
I have never had that level of success with any version of windows on any machine. The most reliable system I have used is whatever it is that is running at the office. We have a systems administrato

The 'curious toy' you refer to powers 95% of all US Businesses computing needs. A secretary running Word, or an accountant running an accounting program under windows rarely has system crashes, prima
Hi Stuart, Sorry - "the old-fashioned way" is no longer cost-effective. Silicon, software and numerically-controlled board build/assembly are so much cheaper these days than gears, slug racks, cams,
Well Adam, what I had in mind were the excellent build it yourself kits of Ten Tec and others. Thank goodness, that skill is alive and well, and many good radios are out there that you can build your
David, I do not claim to be "computer literate" enough, or knowlegable enough of computers to be able to determine what part of the system, software or hardware is at fault. What I can tell you is th
Indirectly, I think Ken makes a very valid point. Just like anything else, when computers are not maintained their reliability suffers. Additional contributing factors are the quality of the componen

Hi all, First of all I would like to apologize to those who are annoyed by this discussion, which has centered on reliability of computors running windows. While it is not about Ten-Tec radios, I thi
Well, I have close to fifty computers, 35 running on DOS/Novell networks, the rest using various perversions of Windows. I much prefer the DOS boxes since they work, work well, and don't overwrite th
Pete: My home network only has 5 boxen, all running a form of Windows (98, NT4, 2000 and XP) but they don't make CAB files and they run all sorts of software (I'm an inveterate downloader and I like

Ken and Group: I am really enjoying this exchange of information. Also, I send my apologies to the group for this tangent thread. First let me say that I am not a part of the Microsoft Cheerleading s
I am also enjoying this "off topic" (now) thread as it gives me something to think about other than my Orion. (well - ALMOST) I am running Windows and did have problems with certain utilility, anti-v
