  1. To add further mystery to this situation, I noted that even web.archive.org (which generally has copies of every website that ever existed, for the past 10-12 years), does not have anything on DrakeTales.org. They advise that the site used a "robot exclusion" request so that their website would not be archived.

    So it would seem that Mr. Drake no longer wants anybody to have copies of his work, from now on.

    I have yet to receive an answer to my email from a few days ago, but I'll give it a little while longer before giving up.

    True it's not in web.archive.org but the whole thing was in the google cache this past November. Someone gave me a link for a chapter to one of his stories and I found that every chapter of every story was in that cache at that time.

  2. THIS IS SO KEWL ------!!!!!

    Just loaded Linux-XP on my desk top computer -- well an hour ago. I'm working on my laptop at this moment.

    Clean, simple and REALLY DOES ACT LIKE WIN-XP

    I spent 10 minutes tweaking a few things and have my laptop working off the Linux-XP on my desktop -- info coming from MS Win XP !!!!!! FoxFire, Network connection and I was up and running!!!!!!!!

    I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO HIGH (no, no drugs) :evilgrin:

    I took a look at this and there are pros and cons here. You may want to read this review.

  3. Hey!

    This question is related to my earlier post. Does anyone know if games written for the MAC OS X (which I believe is a linux based system) will run in a linux environment on a PC?

    Just trying to sort out my options with Vista looking like such a dog.

    While I'm new to the mac I've used linux/unix for many years and I believe the answer is no. Linux uses Xwindows (X11) for its graphical system and the mac uses a proprietary system called Aqua. It is possible to run X11 apps on a mac but I haven't seen anything that would allow you to go the other way. You could see if the game publisher has a linux version.

    As I said I'm new to the mac so if some one has a better answer I'd love to hear it.

  4. I run Linux on my desktop and have been since 1994 but my 4 year old XP laptop's hard drive started making odd noises back in December so I started looking into a replacement. I've never been a big fan of Microsoft but after I read this I decided that I'm done with MS. I'm typing this on a macbook.
