This article (http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=7453/ddj0208q/0208q.htm) was posted on slashdot (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/07/29/2135208&mode=thread&tid=133) ... So it's fairly unreachable at the moment....
But, I've mirrored (http://std64.com/temp2/ddjd.htm) it for our sake... I'm not gonna put my servers through slashdot abuse by posting it there.....
It's a really funny article written about the decay of computers after an installation of Windows over time... I know I personally have dealt w/ quite a few of the symptoms quoted...
There are now nine items in BOOT.INI: the original W2K starter, a brace of two-entries-each NT4s (one Turkish), a Windows 98, and three assorted Linuxen. Left to start up by itself, the machine chooses a broken installation of SUSE and halts with a kernel panic.
Ahh yes.. I am currently at that stage myself :D...
