rsync is a Unix utility, none of which handle the basics of copying FAT or NTFS attributes.
Everyone (except fellow trolls) knows Arnie is a incompetant Troll,
incapable of useful Windows advice. Even I know there is generic disk imaging on Linux.

If you're talking about dd (i.e. "delete data", or "destroy disk"),
it's also genericly slow because it copies each byte in each sector
whether or not it contains any data. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

It's not that we are unable to it's just that we left Dos behind many moons
ago and want to move forwards and not backwards. Why is it that Linux geeks
think they are better just because they have remember a million or so text
commands? **** that ****.

One of the reasons I'm sticking with Win98SE is that Win XP doesn't
give me the control that DOS does when the GUI breaks. What do Windows
2K/XP/Vista users do with their clicker when that happens?
Just look at some of the posters in this forum. I can almost see their
blank stares when someone suggests that they resort to the command
line to troubleshoot their systems. I reckon some of them would fall
down in a screaming heap if they weren't presented with a clickable
solution.

Only a ****ing lunatic uses the most complicated, inappropriate tool.
Did anyone bother to look it up? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync

Only a ****ing moron uses Win98, an unsupported OS that crashes daily.

Hey Folknazi, thou art the supreme Troll. Do you think anyone but yourself believes you are clever?

I guess you don't respect your teachers and learn anything
from books, do you?
Text uses a lot less bandwidth, disk space, CPU cycles and
memory than pictures.

And how do you talk to your girl friend? Use a pen to
draw pictures and exchange them with her? Why are you
typing your messages here?
