[extropy-chat] when will computers improve?

Personally, my problem is with the stuff I run in the background, such as 
Folding at Home, Think and Prime95.  They seem to suck up quite a bit of 
resources.  I'd move to Win2K, but only if Age of Empires will still work :)

I use Win2K in work on a notebook.  I leave it in Standby at the end of the 
day and rarely need to reboot it.  Plus I can open heaps of items with no 
crashing.

BTW, anyone know a good program that can do scheduled, unsupervised, 
incremental backups from one disk drive to another in Win98/2K?
