Congratulations.. :eusa_clap:

Mobo & Melodi,
Don't congratulate me. I have nothing to be proud about.
Your patience and understanding are unparallelled. Anyone that reads these posts can attest to that.
You are the ones that made this happen ...all remotely. I can''t get it to work sitting in front of it and you troubleshoot my crap 1000's of miles away. Only because of my ineptness did it take this long. You 2 knew you could fix it long ago.

This is what so many people never get to experience in computer relations.
You people are the greatest. It is no reason that your reputations preceed you. I wish I could hire people that were 1/2 as motivated as you are, to do the job they are paid to perform.
Enough said, I could go on, but I'm sure that everyone that has used this site has left thinking the same thing, possibly not to the magnitude of this debacle I created.

This was one for book.

Now, Since 98 is loaded, Should I upgrade to XP or should I write my own program so as to customize it to my personal tastes. Possibly call it **

HOLY SHNIIIIKEEEES! All this with no sign of an Ode from Kadu
Where is good support when you need them

[Mobo]

Its an older unit so I would leave 98 unless you can upgrade to windows 2000.

[Melodi]

HOLY COW HOW TOTALLY AWESOME I'M DANCING ALONG WITH BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! OH YOU WOULD HAVE TO KNOW THAT I'M BABYSITTING, BUT NEVER MIND, WINDOWS IS LOADING WOO HOOOOO :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

WAIT AM I TOO LATE DID IT STOP????

[Melodi]

oohh wait a moment.....did you say hire? my daughter has been begging to move to California!!!!

Thanks for your kind words, but Mobo gets 80% of the credit, I only made it so HE HAD TO HELP!! :doctor:

I can't wait to tell Murf!!!!

Doc your patience is unparrelled for sure anyone else would have give up 50 posts ago and look at you with all your medals!!!!

Melodi,
After all the hours in class I have put in I would have expected nothing less.
You know it's a cruel world when somebody can SFC themselves ahead of you......especially with some indepth responses like " How do I do that"

Wait until Kadu checks back. That poor rascal is going to nut up.

Maybe Mobo will enact the "Doc Rule" where by anybody that includes words or phrases like ooops. dang, sorry or takes longer than 2 minutes to enter a simple .sys file in DOS (* holy crapola*, that program is 3 days older than god and I still fumble in it) gets demerits. Just a thought, Possibly a Poll question




*Acknowledgemets to Kadu for the fine tuned use of this most precious word as both an adjective, floating Noun and modified highbrow expletive.

Time to let the Bobcat loose unless anyone feels a need to flash the bios/power dump at the same time.BTW, what time does Mobo's watch end.

[Mobo]

So is it running now doc ?

[drguapo]

Mobo,
It's running like it stole it!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif[/img]

Infinite thanks for the hand holding. Good thing there was no breast -feeding involved.Yikes!!!

Any suggestions on my next venture into the CABS. I was thinking of loading TWEAK and seeing just what I could tune up with that.

On a serious note, I probably need to get some spyware/Virusware loaded on this so as to keep the ill be gots out of my files and secret GUI codes. Yes?

Your loving son,

And for the cabs, if it ain't broke, don't fix it .. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually Mobo we didn't want to tell you this, but it's all been a test for you. Doc works for Microcrap (subsidery of microsoft) and now they wanna hire you. So what do you say? You moving to California? I'd go, but our roads are blocked due to the snow storm.


Kadu...yep he's gonna loose it, maybe I should send the bobcat to him. He can come up; with a victory poem :clap:

I'd cheer and write a lot more but I left the power cord to my laptop at work and my battery is at 55%.

Hey did you guys really flash the bios? That was my idea....wasn't it?
