BobS: "ron on the run" mobile Ron: what's time? rich-c: 9.36 here BobS: a mere figment of your imagination mobile Ron: nope. I'm sitting in a park in Courtenay overlooking the bay Pamela: it's the commodity by which we live, remember? BobS: ah COOL mobile Ron: don't know whose server I'm using, but it seems to be fairly close by Pamela: nice of them : ) rich-c: when did you get the wireless, Ron? mobile Ron: I'm expecting the cops to roll up any minute mobile Ron: have had it for some time Rich.... probably about 6 months or so BobS: and you are hitching a ride on a system.......... rich-c: just haven't been using it on the chats? mobile Ron: Anyway, If I fade out at any point, I'll know they're onto me Pamela: so give us a word picture Ron -what do you see? mobile Ron: right Rich BobS: how's the weather in Courtenay?????? rich-c: yes, most wireless LANs are totally unprotected and anyone can climb aboard, apparently mobile Ron: actually sometimes I sit up in the living room BobS: nice and warm????? mobile Ron: base station is in the snakepit BobS: just locked mine down (via doug) last sunday......so when I goto the bank, I am not "out there" mobile Ron: ok with a jacket.....just sitting here enjoying the view and munching on Subway rich-c: which reminds me, how is the sale/move going? BobS: good mon Pamela: good idea, Bob mobile Ron: The tide is out - way out mobile Ron: back to square 1 on the house. My offer and I couldn't come to terms rich-c: sure it isn't a tsunami? no shaking earlier or anything? mobile Ron: Ya win some, ya lose some Pamela: that sucks, Ron mobile Ron: hmmmm....nope..... not yet ....no tsunami Pamela: so does that mean you've lost the deal on the condo too? rich-c: that's OK, you are under no pressure to move BobS: those fast kind of dealas are usually not the one Ron mobile Ron: I know Pam. I'd forgotten how much I hate playing this game mobile Ron: Don't think the guy was really interested BobS: UNLESS he could steal it mobile Ron: yeah mobile Ron: Ain't givin' it away rich-c: opportunist, hoped the old fart wouldn't have kept up with the market mobile Ron: He was a licensed real estate agent rich-c: I think by the time we sell, the bidding will start at half a million BobS: so he was NOT a buyer, but a fast buck boy rich-c: probably reads all the obits and makes his bucks scamming widows and orphans who don't know what it's worth mobile Ron: Son Jeff says if we took this house and put it in Burnaby where he is, it would be over a million BobS: that is probably more true than not Richard Pamela: hindsight is 20/20 Dad - perhaps you should have made a deal with Alice and bought Rita's house mobile Ron: I would say so Bob. He was after a place to rent out rich-c: is he talking lot size or house itself? mobile Ron: lot size rich-c: fairly big lot, then BobS: hey.......Ron has a mighty nice pad there, we were there you know........heck it covers half the island mobile Ron: it's something like 2/3 acre mobile Ron: give or take rich-c: sorry - dimensions l x w? mobile Ron: :) right Bob mobile Ron: well measured that way, it comes out to about 2400 sq feet rich-c: I'm not good at visualizing fractional acres mobile Ron: 1200 per floor mobile Ron: Hell, I don't know rich-c: that's the house; I was thinking of the lot BobS: the lot........a LOT of lot too rich-c: I think we run about 8 houses an acre here - say six lots, here, you'd be looking at $2 - 2.5 million BobS: it si not a city size type lot, but a large suburb lot BobS: HEY mobile Ron: It's about 160 feet across the front, and down one side, b ut it has a section cut out of it on the other side. Kinda like an L shape mobile Ron: thought my server had dropped off... but still there rich-c: our lots are 45 x 120 Pamela: don't be too modest, Bob - your house and property are mighty huge too rich-c: and they are asking $1.1 million next door to us mobile Ron: high density Toronto BobS: Ron....your lot maybe like 150x 200 ?????? Pamela: how much????????!!!!!!!!!!3 Pamela: (Pamela's eyes bug out) rich-c: at least that's what Elizabeth heard, and I believe it mobile Ron: don't think it's 200 deep Bob, would have to look at the plan, but it runs in my mind it's 180 feet deep or something like that Daniel B: sorry to be quiet, i received a question by email about adamem rich-c: strictly a gamer, or someone with Adam interests too mobile Ron: ya gotta take care of business Daniel Pamela: has Mom gotten a look inside yet? rich-c: peeked through teh front door Sunday, but that's it Pamela: heck, we need an open house so we can gawk BobS: anybody ever seen the COLECOVISION game SKIING???? BobS: telegames had it Daniel B: the question is if he can use the adamem front-end at Marcel's site... because it says windows 95. mobile Ron: Not I sir rich-c: don't think we would go, we're too easy to recognize - send you in though (just park on the street) ; - ) Daniel B: he is using windows xp Pamela: so what if you're easy to recognize - it's an open house for heaven's sake BobS: some guy in Italy contacted me about it......I know have it.....but found that Teryy fowler does rich-c: can't say I know of it, top of my head Pamela: won't park on the street unless I have to Dad - too many idiots on your roads BobS: my understanding is that XP is not dos based, therefore a lot of the Win95/98 do not work correctly if at all rich-c: yes, but traffic on our block is very light these days Pamela: Dad, do you not have a cart of Skiing? I seem to recall seeing it at some point in the dim, distant past rich-c: I believe you're right Bob about it not being DOS based rich-c: maybe I do, we can look for it later maybe BobS: the ibm machines hae skiing but I dont' have it for the ADAM rich-c: but I keep getting told that "moist" Win 9X programs will run under XP BobS: as long as tghey do not require dos they should rich-c: I imagine XP would be an even tougher sell than it is if it wouldn't respond to existing software rich-c: but Daniel, I suspect only Marcel can answer your question for sure rich-c: it does run under Unix, doesn't it? Daniel B: so nobody tried the adamem front-end under windows xp? BobS: try it you may like it !!!!! BobS: not here rich-c: concerning which, whre's Dr. D. when we need an answer? Pamela: probably writing another lecture rich-c: I imagine I will end up with XP when I buy a new laptop Pamela: are you planning to get a brand new laptop Dad? rich-c: sooner or later, Pam, yes BobS: stick to what ya know.......

Takes far more words to be polite than to come to the point : ( rich-c: t'was ever thus BobS: storms are bypassing us to the north kids !!!!!!

I guess everyone is trying to compensate for the lack of hockey. rich-c: never mind Ron, before you know it the football season will be here rich-c: they're televising the exhibition game from Halifax, even RoundRon: exactly Rich RoundRon: Vancouver's junior A team is enjoying record attendance Pamela: exhibition game in Halifax? is the CFL expanding?

Ron: wierd- mac's version of the blue screen of death Ron: the rotating beachball of death rich-c: why, I thought that Macs never crashed Ron: they have their own insidious tail spin rich-c: sure that isn't an Amiga, Ron, with its boing ball? BobS: and they said that Apple didn 't have a sense of humor Ron: no so Ron: someday somebody's going to explain that to me..... what happens, why it happens Ron: yada yadda BobS: 'cause it can Ron: sitting here by the bay...... although I can't see it any more rich-c: rotsa ruck! it's a computer, that's all and sufficient explanation Ron: right Pamela: well does the Mac tell you it's dumping all your files like a PC does? Guy B.: Rich, just found out that AntiVir, the free anti-virus is no longer supporting Windows 95, but will continue with Windows 98 on up. I found another free one, so I can use that for WIndows 95. I might consider upgrading to Win98 on the P133 that has it. Ron: it doesn't tall you squat. The cursor just starts rotating Ron: and you can't do nuttin Pamela: well, obviously the BSOD is better aerobics then : ) rich-c: didn't know that, Guy; since I have 98SE it doesn't matter Ron: I don't really like either rich-c: I also recommend you upgrade to 98SE, it's easy and seems nicer somehow Pamela: I must say I've never had the opportunity to crash a Mac Ron: some day Pamela, some day Pamela: must try that some time Ron: I shall be bringing this one in July, you can try it rich-c: besides, Microsoft is still partially supporting 98 and SE so you can get defensive update Pamela: cool! rich-c: I assume Adamcom will be running exclusivelyt on emulators this time round? Pamela: it looks as though I'll be dateless that weekend too - Russell has to work and won't be able to attend Ron: It's a bonnie wee computer Ron: awww Pamela: : ( Ron: what's this work bit? BobS: not if Dale has his or you take a couple Pamela: 24/7, 365 BobS: WORK ???????? bummer word BobS: that is one of those W words Ron: absolutely Pamela: yeah well, it keeps us in diamonds and furs Guy B.: I'm going to try a test with a portable hard drive enclosure with one system. Win95 on one hard drive and another hard drive with another OS. If this works, then I'll get two more of these. Ron: diamonds and furs..... hmmmm rich-c: btw, anyone know a good partioning and multiple boot program for XP, preferably free? Pamela: what, no comment? Ron: Have been using Partition Magic Rich, but that's not free rich-c: they say the revion of that that works with XP doesnt work with it worth squat Ron: never heard of that one rich-c: I have it on my current machine, also System Commander rich-c: I get a fair number of newsletters Ron: yes, there's that one rich-c: but I know there seem to be a couple out there Pamela: oh hey Ron, my car rolled 200,000 kms yesterday morning Ron: aha Ron: a milestone Pamela: 'twas quite cool rich-c: that's not the most felicitous phrasing, Pamela Pamela: sorry, my odometer rich-c: as in, end over end or side over side? ; - ) Guy B.: I do have System Commander, but now it's outdated and will have to upgrade. I thought using different hard drives with this enclosure would be the easiest. All I have to do is change the hard drive and pop the drawer back in and fire it up. Pamela: well it would be one for the record books : ) rich-c: depends on how your BIOS feels about it, I suspect, Guy Ron: Rosie the Bull is at 175,134.5 rich-c: they tend to get upset when the specs for drive C keep changing Guy B.: I have the BIOS on auto, so it will detect the size automatically. rich-c: getting it broken in there, Ron Pamela: can't forget the .5, you know Ron: pretty much Ron: since I happen to be looking at it, I thought I'd tell you rich-c: I can remember when you dumped a car at 60,000 miles as beyond economic repair Ron: yes Pamela: I got a kick out of watching it - thought I would roll it on the way back from Windsor but got home with 199, 996.6 instead BobS: that was iin theold days Richard Ron: a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away BobS: back int he leaded gas days rich-c: yes, now you only start to think about some rebuilding at 120,000 BobS: exactly Ron: course now this is km's not miles rich-c: well, 200K klicks is 120,000 miles Pamela: well 200k = 160,000 miles Pamela: sorry, 120,000 Ron: we seem to have a little disparity between father and daughter Ron: aha BobS: got that all figured out gang Pamela: nope, he's right BobS: and I am not metric rich-c: oh no, she caught on quick Pamela: ratio 100:60 BobS: still alot of miles or kilometers rich-c: oh, the Meteor haws over 175,000 miles on it Ron: and you stick with 'em Bob.

Pamela: no, he's more of a verbal type -where do you think I got it? rich-c: I have other more subtle ways BobS: like? Ron: he referred to the dear gent as a "speed evangelist" as I recall Pamela: yeah, that sounds about right rich-c: let's just say a truck is very intimidating and can get awfully wide... rich-c: and Ron, the phradse I use is "traffic evangelist" Pamela: hmm, maybe we should try you in an F350 Ron: you're probably right Rich Pamela: talk about wide . . . rich-c: that might even straighten out the traffic on 401, Pam :-) Pamela: don't count on it Pamela: I must say, we had a very smooth trip this weekend rich-c: well, I admit it doesn't intimidate 18-wheelers much 8 = ( Pamela: if you must travel on the 401, Easter weekend is a good time to do so Ron: Well folks, I think I'll be on my way back to Comox....so will shut down my night spot here Ron: be well all BobS: byer ron Pamela: g'nite Ron - good luck with the house rich-c: OK Ron, take care, see you next week BobS: and here also guys and gals Ron: tks ....
