That's the true internet experience after a clean install.

16 colors officially sucks. Could be worse though. It could be the old OLD style graphics where only 4 colors in a palette could be displayed at any give time (Image it, Iceteks made completely out of black, white, magenta and cyan)

.

Trust me, if it weren't for clones you'd be complaining alot more.

Ever try working on an IBM? They're the only ones that can be considered true breed and not clone. Even the machines we build are clones.

IBMs are the worse, well at least in the olden days. I worked on an IBM that was like 80% propiatary. Need a new monitor? Well it's physicaly attached to a box that is plugged into the tower in a non standard plug - so you need to replace the whole thing, which also has your mouse, keyboard, speakers and even cd-rom drive. IBMs are probably the worst for propiatary stuff. Dell is second, but not even half as bad as IBM.

But then again if it was not for clones and horrible computer I'd be out of business.

And clone was probably not the right word I used, rather it's OEM. (basically any "Brand name" computer - they all have their ups and downs)
