Guest cid Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 And you can also use the backslash to escape the space: My Documents and it works as well. It's just an old-geezer thing for the most part. I just convulse when working in a console and see spaces :) D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 You might just try telling her that she can't do it.... just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Actually that might've worked better...LOL. Anyway, thaanks for all the tips. Yesterday she sat down at my computer and configured her desktop to her liking and told me that if I wanted to make her computer dual-boot so she could 'play around', it was ok. Now I have to wait until I buy her a bigger HD (she has an 8 gig and uses most of it in no time with just windows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 This might help convince men and women alike. http://www.lifesite.net/interim/2002/oct/1...12philanth.html Take it as you will....I DO NOT post it in hopes of a discussion on peoples beliefs and/or rights. The original question was "how to convince?"...well, my wife sent me an email at work with the subject I want Windows OFF this computer!So I called to see just how serious she was and she's dead serious :) Background: she started to use KDE and after a short period went back to windows.....didn't want to have to learn anymore, if windows was there, printing wasn't near as user friendly or as good (getting a new printer this week), and a few other resolvable issues. Now she's willing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 That's nice, but it won't work on my fiancee... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Tell her if she wants to have children, she has to go linux... just a psychological thing that is beyond your control you know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 It's kind of ironic that the OS that is "No Choice" is "Pro-Choice" and the OS that is "all about choice" is neutral on the subject... See,... Liberals and conservatives alike like Linux!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 My fiancee is <<mumble>> years old and already has 4 kids and has had a hysterectomy, so the 'if she ever wants to have kids' thing is out...LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
