Re: [aclug-L] FW: If we could fix all our problems with just a reboot...

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

what most people seem to forget is that wife 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.3....
are all MS. applications.
such applications can be remove by trashing your fat, vfat, and ntfs
partitions.
then you are free to install other os's that can not be corrupted by
any version of wife.
