Warren,

No I haven't watched the news. I have been to busy trying to decide if I want to spend the day mowing the upper lot and driveway or cleaning the cars in case I decide to go to the get together Friday night. I really can't get much done on Mondays as I never was really fond of Monday. And at my age it gets easier all the time to find reasons to avoid doing any work.

Ron

I'd say they were smart, they knew not to pay the water bill.

Oh my, how a drive in the Cobra certainly does change your disposition. YES!

Okay, as a matter of english, is it correct to put an exclamation point after the word "Damn" at all times? Or, is there an instance where "Damn" could be uttered as if someone were to curse themselves for forgetting themselves.

Well I am back and I did neither. I spent the morning formatting the hard drive and reloading this computer. To many error messages to mess with tracking them down one at a time. I have got to stop experimenting with stuff to see what it will do.

I know what you mean, Everytime I see a program that looks interesting, I end up with some irritating icon on the screen that interferes with some operation I am trying to do.

Yes, the Goddess of Microsoft has her own personality for sure. Then add me and my tampering with files to see what i can do in and you have a real good chance for disaster. How did we ever survive without computers. I actually had to use a slide rule in college.

K & E slide rule? I still have mine. I also have my first calculator which cost $225 in the early 70's. I can buy the equivalent now for less than $5.00.

Ron, I assume you have WinXP. My problems dropped dramatically when I got WinXP.

I only have 68 programs running in the background, and 19 little icons on the bottom tray (most of them hidden).

But the $5.00 one might work for a week if your lucky
The one from the 70's will last a lifetime

Warren,

I have WinXP Home on one computer and Pro on the other. It is my continual trying to duplicate problems others have on the one computer that keeps me having to reload it every 6 to 8 months. Also testing all of the free programs that I decide to look at as some of them aren't the best. I keep my disk clean and have 4 icons in the Notification area and 4 on the desktop. Like my car, if I would just quit messing around the computer would never have a problem. As for my slide rule, I had one that was designed for electronics and computers and I haven't been able to find it for years. And my first T.I. Calculator cost over $200 dollars as well. Amazing at how the prices drop when things get on the market isn't it. I now have a T.I. calculator that does all the conversions from octal, hex, and binary. It also will draw graphs and do geometry and Trig, and about anything a computer will do and I think I gave about $150 for it years ago. I don't even know how to use all the functions and it has 9 separate memories to store whatever you are doing in.

Ron

My first was a T. I. Calculator. My dad broke it. He would literally pound the keys when entering numbers until he broke the contacts, under the keypad. It cost me something like $80.00 and it had a PI function.

I still have my sliderule, You were forced to use the sliderule, even if you had a calculator. It was a whole class in college.

Darn, I get to go to the Cardio Doctor and get my monthly checkup.

Tru,

Good luck at the doctors. I have to go next month. As for the slide rule, I had a class in that in college and they would allow me to use it on the First Class FCC test, but since the answers to some of the questions had to be to the 5th digit past the point, I only used it to get the first 3 as it was very accurate to that point and then got the last two by a pen and scratch paper. I wish I knew what happened to that thing as most of the people around here that I mention it to don't even know what I am talking about.

Ron

I'm back.
leaving for Tulsa on Thursday. The cobra is a mess. The mustang is a mess. I'm a wee bit sunburned, and all I can say is Schlitterbaun is rough!

Didn't do seaworld. too hot. enjoyed the ranch time, though. boys fished and fished. we 'tubed' the Guadelupe yesterday morning. Water is about 55*, perfect when it's 100* outside.

HLC - glad that you had fun. Today is another rainy day here in Taxxachusetts .....

Tru - my first calculator was a TI also.

We have another flood watch and rain is forecast for the next 4 days.

I'm glad I got a nice ride in yesterday. It may be a while before the next one. Praise be to the Mt Shasta goddess and Pele ....

Well, I survived another oil change at the cardio doc.

My friend has the barrel set on my last rifle, I am going to be busy tonight.

Chance of rain here also, must be a blanket effect to keep Cobras indoors for a day.

Kristen might be the only one out and about, HEY KRISTEN!

Default Why Computers Sometimes Crash!

Ode to Ron61 ....


Why Computers Sometimes Crash!

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory
makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has
an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your
data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your
situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the
network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your
packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly
rejected by the printer down the hall......

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may
as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet,
the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and
the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then
you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your
Mom!

Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?
Thank you, Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives

53 ºF outside ... brrrrrrrrr

My computer keeps making thunder & lightning sounds because of all the weather alerts. They now predict up to 7 inches of rain today.

Hello, Noah ........ do you have enough room for a Cobra?

Warren,

Loved your Ode to computers. Glad that you are surving the rain ok. Now you are going to start to see how I felt when it was raining 2 to 6 inches a day for 40 some straight days. Remember me asking if there was an ARK kit that I could build so I could go down the streets here. Temperature here is in the low 90s but quite humid. Throw away the humidity and it would be a great day to go for a drive. I told you that you would be sorry for all the fun you made of us while we were getting drowned. The Mt. Shasta goddess is having a ball now.

Ron

Three mischievous grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a neighborhood hangout. About then a Ron61 walked by, and one of the old grandmas yelled out:

"We bet we can tell exactly how old you are."

"There ain't no way you can guess it, you old fools."

"Sure we can! Just drop your under shorts and we can tell your exact age."

Embarrassed just a little, he dropped his drawers. The grandmas stared at him for a while, asked him to turn around a couple of times, asked him to jump up and down for a little while and then they all piped up:

"You're 84 years old!"

"How in the world did you guess?"

The ornery old grandmas, snickered and laughed. Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, all three happily yelled in unison, “Because we were at your birthday party yesterday.”
