You can write a whole book on that?
While I was in Borders 1, I spotted the following title, which amused me no end: Windows 98 Annoyances. Priceless. Disappointingly, the description on Amazon suggests that itâs about hacking Windows 98, rather than just listing the bugs.
1 I should say that I donât usually buy books in Borders, because I prefer to patronise the local shop Blackwells, but they didnât have what I was looking for. Nor did Borders as it turned out.

ONLY one???----- I have the earlier Windows 95 Annoyances. It's rather useful, if you're forced to use it. It's not so much about hacking on Windows as hacks to get around all the annoyances and limitations implied by the title.

Visit Blackwells and go down to that huge subterranean room, and you might just detect faint badger tracks. I worked there (in the Oriental and African section) just after leaving school around 1969/70.
It was pretty good to me, though I was a mightily f*cked up teenager at the time.

If you wanted to list all windows 98 bugs and problems it'd take more than one book. Same with most of Microshaft's software.

stacy: Hehe. [bsag smiles smug Mac user smile]
Caitlin and dave m: Sounds useful in that case.
ThoughtBadger: You worked in the Norrington bunker? Excellent. I always feel a bit dizzy down thereâI think that itâs a combination of the heat, the lack of natural light, all the books on biology and the hundreds of OâReilly computing books. It takes a geek girlâs breath away
