Judy: hi, Steph rich-c: geez, are all us Canadians going to have to go back to talking esoteric sports and things? Steph: I'm trying to use AdamEmMam but it's harder than I thought rich-c: funny you should say - I've had that problem too rich-c: part is just that us old folks don't have the time left to be patient

Judy: hi, Pam BobS: no way to swap files to ibm........ rich-2: I had sensed as much but you caught your mother by surprise Pamela: Hi, Judy Pamela: how did you sense it??? rich-2: but Bob, there IS a way to swap tape files to Adam discs Daniel Bienvenu: Well, if he can find someone with an Adam computer to help him copying data from his Adam tapes, his problem will be solve BobS: ya mon but have to have a disk drive rich-2: and there is a way with the emulator to let the DOSbox housing the emulator read Adam discs within the emulator rich-2: push come to shove, Daniel, most of us here have Adam disc drives and can do that conversion rich-2: guess I know you better than she does, Pam ; - ) Pamela: spill, Dad. I don't think I gave any hints. Steph: May be I can buy softwares depending how much it will cost. rich-2: won't do you that much good - there is original software available on tape at programmer's RRp Guy B.: Someone on the Adam list had a similar problem, had tapes and now he wants to convert them to PC format and he doesn't have an Adam disk drive. rich-2: and any software on a disc can be offered on a disc as well Steph: Wath is the programmer's RRp rich-2: in fact I have usually tossed in a backup copy in the opposite format when selling programs rich-2: e.g. if you bought it on a disc, I'd toss in a tape copy rich-2: recommended retial price, Steph - like msrp on other products

BobS: I have them here Guy...........and a big problem with 360k ibm disk drive working Steph: Hi, Dale Pamela: Glad to know there's someone later than me : ) BobS: HI Dale Dale: I have an early morning meeting, so I probably won't stay long, but last week, Jeffrey wouldn't go to bed, and I missed everyone by 10 minutes. Daniel Bienvenu: hello Dale! rich-2: (PRIVATE) no - haven't seen him for a couple of weeks Daniel Bienvenu: deadline october 31... in two weeks BobS: bummer Dale Daniel Bienvenu: how are your minigame projects? Pamela: (PRIVATE) has anyone heard from him since his trip to PEI? rich-2: hi Dale - will your machine stop kicking me off now ; - ) Dale: I've been working hard on my pirate's game, and after two weeks of intense coding, I can only report that it looks the same but is smaller. rich-2: (PRIVATE) not that I can recall Pamela: (PRIVATE) hmm Dale: I was investigating using LZ77 -- specifically PackC64. Dale: I found some stuff on it for the Game Boy by Jeff Frowein. Dale: His code isn't as compact as I'd like, but it does work. I'm not sure it will help me get my game in under 1k. rich-2: Bob, what's your problem with the 360 drive? Pamela: how far over is it, Dale? BobS: darn things don't want to work reliably and the 1.2's are flaky Dale: Richard, I thought you'd made peace with Spaniel Chat. You went for a long time without being knocked off. rich-2: sounds like you do have mechanical problesm then - my 360/1200 5.25 works fine Dale: Well the target is 1024, but it is currently 1192. :-( Judy: hi, Dale Pamela: (PRIVATE) Bob, have you heard from Ron recently? BobS: no I NEED Douglas over here to FIX it Dale: Hi Judy. rich-2: I've made peace with it, but every once in a while it sneaks up and pushes me off 8 -( BobS: (PRIVATE) no, not at all Judy: how is the family BobS: (PRIVATE) I know he was on a long vacation to PEI BobS: the chat LIKES you Richard rich-2: you mean Doug can actually take apart a disc drive and reassemble it to work? Dale: They're doing well. But I still haven't manage to get Jeffrey toilet trained. Pamela: (PRIVATE) yeah, but that was at least four weeks ago, wasn't it? Daniel Bienvenu: reducing graphics still possible in your project, but if you can't do all you want in 1k, go for a 4k version rich-2: no great rush, Dale - it's inconvenient but it will happen BobS: (PRIVATE) I think so, but he was going to be at least that long Judy: that is not cool BobS: but Doug knows these beasts and how to configure them Guy B.: Well, I got rid of those old computers last Saturday. Should have seen the line. Had to wait about 15 minutes, but it was worth the trip and now Abby has room. Dale: The big advance is that I've convinced him to use the potty after he comes home from daycare, but then he feels that that fulfills his quota for at home. Pamela: (PRIVATE) I'm kinda worried - it's not like him to be incommunicado for that long BobS: (PRIVATE) well hopefully he is ok and happy Pamela: you know it's bad, Guy, when you have to move the computers out to make room for the dog : ) rich-2: I gave Dr.D. three or four dead Adam drives for his attentions - maybe if Doug can fix them we can supply our new members somehow Judy: is daycare working with him, also? Pamela: (PRIVATE) I hope so. : ) BobS: I don't know if sending him email would help.....if not checking and near a puter, ho won't get it Guy B.: Actually, I had to place them there. It was only temporary. BobS: (PRIVATE) I don't know if sending him email would help.....if not checking and near a puter, ho won't BobS: (PRIVATE) got to watch that, eh ???? Dale: I'm going to have to decide 1k/4k this weekend. It is feeling like 4k is where I'll end up, but I'm worried that the game play isn't enough for a 4k game. I could have a nice title screen though, and a full theme song. Pamela: (PRIVATE) it's not really a big deal, I just don't want to worry everyone if it's nothing Pamela: (PRIVATE) so, I go to the sources - you and Dad rich-2: well, I got rid of my 166 laptop to sister-in-law but still have to get the 166 desktop ready to give away BobS: (PRIVATE) and Rochard has heard nothing either, I gather ???? Guy B.: Speaking of Abby. She is doing better and we are gradually walking more a little at a time. Daniel Bienvenu: Well, that's not a problem Dale... you can certainly add goodies in the project to fill up the 4k and make your minigame the best in the contest. Pamela: (PRIVATE) nope Dale: Yes, daycare wants to move him up a class, but solidly trained is the requirement. Pamela: that's good news, Guy BobS: 1 p100 is OUT the door, a 166 is close unless it starts working, and a 486 is history Dale: He can go all afternoon after his nap no problem. Nap is still a diaper thing. Pamela: wow, what cleanup bug has infected this group? Pamela: and how do I get it???? rich-2: now that you've got room, Bob, can I interest you in a TI99/4A? ; - ) Judy: how old is he, now? BobS: it is closely related to the FLU and you do NOT wasnt hat Dale: Well he'll be 4 years in January. Pamela: isn't there a shot or something? : ( Guy B.: Got rid of a P120, P100 and a P166, two monitors, an old Fax machine a friend gave me. She said it wasn't working that good, two kyeboards, one dead hard drive and an old TV. All have been sent to be recycled. Dale: So many of the kids born the same month as him are trained by now. Steph: Daniel, I think you live in Montreal! rich-2: it varies from child to child, Dale - don't fuss it (yet, anyway) Daniel Bienvenu: in Québec Judy: bribery sometimes works, if there is something he would really like, that is how Sherri got Micheal going Pamela: Steph, vous etes en Montreal? Daniel Bienvenu: I don't have a complet Adam for your problem , Steph. rich-2: complete Adams can be had but the shipping cost is a killer Judy: Mandy also used that, every day he was dry he got a matchbox car, cheap, but it worked Dale: He still doesn't have any issue with being wet, so it is all purely for other reasons that he would volunteer to use the potty. At school they have a schedule, but that just isn't how our homelife flows. rich-2: but what when she cuts off the supply of cars??? Dale: I'm certain that he'll want to master it before college. Pamela: I don't think they make diapers that big : ) Judy: by then he was used to going on the potty and it didn't matter rich-2: whoops! past time for my beer! Judy: did you try the big boy pants that they have, then it runs down the leg, don't usually like that Pamela: exactly what time is it, anyway? My computer clock says 10:33 but I'm sure that's wrong
(Dale gives rich-2 a nice tall frosty Guinness) Daniel Bienvenu: (Daniel will be back in a couple of minutes) Judy: the training pants that keep the potty in isn't usually the answer, they have to know that the running down the leg is yek Steph: Daniel, I can give you my email address and if you want send me back your phone number so I can call you back. It will be easyer for me to start. Steph: Only if you want. Dale: Jeffrey is seems mostly unaffected with wet underwear/wet pants. It affect me more it seems. rich-2: it's 10.30 Pam and I'll send you a clock sync program Pamela: it's okay Dad, it's gotten thrown off by the power failures we had last week Pamela: usually it's fine - even makes the transition at DST Steph: Pam, I'm in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, it's half an hour from Montreal. Pamela: ah, okay rich-2: I use the one that gives you automatic sync to the atomic clock - world time standard Judy: try bridery Dale: My computer says it's 10:33 now. Dale: Wait...10:44 Dale: 10:34 Pamela: I'm not that concerned Dad rich-2: doesn't your machine have a clock battery to see you through power failures? Dale: Right. Daniel Bienvenu: To be honnest, I'm not sure my Coleco Adam is working. I know that my diskdrive doesn't work. However, Guy Foster got an Adam computer rececntly, and I know someone else in Québec who still have a working Coleco Adam. Pamela: yes it does, but prolonged power failures tend to make it speed up a bit Pamela: we've had two hour-long failures in the last month rich-2: must have been at times when we were away - I don't recall our USP screaming at us lately rich-2: sorry, I meant UPS Judy: have you had storms or just power problems? rich-2: Daniel, have youtried cleaning the th9ing recently, especially the Adamnet connectors? Pamela: they were very localized Dad - one storm related, one construction related I think. I only knew about them because I was talking to Russell from work when they happened. We weren't affected at work and I'm only ten minutes away Pamela: one of each, Judy Pamela: we had one very short, violent rainstorm with lots of wind rich-2: yes, most failures seem local nowadays, though Toronto Hydro has more than North York Hydro did, I'm sure Daniel Bienvenu: when pluged-in, I saw only a light and then nothing else happend. rich-2: well, if you saw a light on the keyboard, you're getting power, anyway rich-2: what did the printer do? Steph: Have to wake up early tomorrow, bye everybody I will come back next week. Pamela: and someone knocked over a power pole during construction rich-2: see you Steph - a la prochaine! Steph: Thanks for helping me. Judy: bye Steph Pamela: good night Steph : ) Daniel Bienvenu: good luck steph

Guy B. left chat session BobS: work can get you great bodily harm rich-2: but then you don't have to work to get it, either Pamela: well, not so far - but I'm sorta addicted to a roof over my head and food on the table Judy: we are too BobS: minor details my dear GuyF: We're in Canada, I doubt anyone could not have a roof over their heads if they don't want to live in the streets. rich-2: some days you just can't win rich-2: I quit smoking a couple of years ago and now I'm back with pneumonia again GuyF: Rich: Actually, I heard of someone who was smoking for like 30-40 yrs, and a few months after quitting smoking, he was sicker than he ever was... Pamela: 'twas three years ago, Dad rich-2: possible, but I doubt the two events were connected BobS: don't tell him that Guy..........just get better Richard Pamela: closer to 3 1/2 actually Judy: you should see if you can't get the shot for that after you are better Pamela: I don't like hearing pneumonia rich-2: no shot for pneumonia, Judy - but antibiotics can knock it down quite well Judy: yes, there is, Bob's dad has had it rich-2: the difference between the 'flu and pneumonia is they know how to cure pneumonia Judy: they have been around for about 10 years Pamela: speaking of which, I should get a flu shot rich-2: I don't think they have a vaccine for this new avian flu yet GuyF: I'm terrified of those flu shots, a friend of mine took one of them a few years ago and was rushed to the emergency room a few hours later, she had an allergic reaction of some sorts. Judy: me too, but have to wait another week, only high risk can get them now Judy: if you are allergic to eggs you can' t have a flu shot Pamela: Guy, if she had a reaction it was probably to whatever the vaccine was cultured in. Erin's like that. rich-2: GuyF: if you aren't allergic to egges, a flu shot is unlikely to bother you rich-2: and if you are worried, the doctors can test in advance Pamela: I'm of two minds about it actually - last time I had the shot on a Friday, I came down with the flu on Monday and was sick for three days Judy: something like that GuyF: She wasn't allergic to eggs, but she was rushed to the emergency, it was pretty bad, and scary. rich-2: well it was some sort of allergic reaction and they can be nasty rich-2: but they can also be tsted for in advance Judy: I am going to get one and so is Bob, we do not need the flu again rich-2: in fact with that as a "warning shot" maybe she ought to consider testing for allergies rich-2: my doctor isn't pushing flu shots yet, though I'll ask him when I see him Friday Pamela: brb rich-2: I have the feeling they're holding back to see if they can incorporate some defen e against avian flu Dale: Around here the flu shot clinics start in November. Judy: they usually do them at the grocery store that I go to, so I am watching for them to do it again Dale: The avian flu may or may not be treatable, but the shots take 6 months to grow as I understand from last year's problems in the US. rich-2: our doctor has his nurse do it; she has such a soft touch you don't know t's been done Dale: It depends on whether the avian flu mutates into the strain that they already have a shot for or not. rich-2: yes, I guess we'll end up going for "all the rest" and crossing our fingers, Dale Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit Rich! rich-2: there have only been a few incidents of crossover into humans so far - but... rich-2: bonne soir, Daniel; a la prochaine! Daniel Bienvenu: I'm leaving too for tonight... talk to you all next week. And Dale, I will suggest you to do a 4k version for the contest.
