The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I've only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.

You actually have to exit the setup menu(f2 iirc), run a specific command, and then it will let you make an offline account.

If you don't have a NIC, it will make you get an internet connection before proceeding. That was my experience on my laptop. What had happened was that for whatever reason, my wifi card wouldn't work with the amd motherboard in my laptop (it wasn't cnvio, and it was the same issue with ac 7265 and an ax210). So I had to resort to that to install windows.

ME wasn't that bad. I think I just got lucky in terms of stability?

I mean that's all most people would need. It's more of the "oh I have this tool and this is other tool on sale and it takes the same batteries".

I'm also in an apartment so I just have basic hand tools and an electric screwdriver.

Most consumer tools are made by like 2 or 3 companies, they all have different colors but are largely the same guts within a parent company's holdings.

Direct tools factory outlet is run by TTI. Milwaukee, Rigid, Ryobi are all made by TTI. Stanley Black and Decker owns Dewalt, Black and Decker (duh), Craftsman, MAC Tools and Porter cable.

Bauer and Hercules are doin their own thing but the batteries are pretty decent.
