From jblair1948 at cox.net Tue Feb 2 15:05:34 2010 From: jblair1948 at cox.net (John T. Blair) Date: Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:05:34 -0500 Subject: [Bricklin] Off Topic - computer Message-ID: <6.2.5.6.1.20100202165743.0493a728@cox.net> Boy, I"m really learning to hate computer!!!! My computer died on me Sun. morning. No biggie, I've got backups. So with 10" of snow on the ground I drive over to a friends house that has some test equipment to check out my machine. Looks like something big, either the mother board or the CPU. So I guess it's time to buy a new machine. So Mon. I go out looking for a new machine. I ended up with a Dell and Windows 7. Get it home, and start setting it up. It took me about 2 hours to get it plugged in and just get the sound working. Today, I start by moving the hard drive from my old machine and installing it in and external drive case I have some I can move my data over. No problem. That took a couple of hours. Next I start loading my anti- virus software. Once that's done, I try to get hooked up to my wireless router. What a fiasco that was. After 2 1/2 hrs. I give up, and run back out to the store to get a new wireless USB adapter for the new machine. About 1 hr after I get home I've got the machine on the air. So now I"ve spent something like 9 or 10 hrs trying to get this machine up, and I don't like the way it's configured. I'll have to work on that later. This on the heals of cleaning out my old computer room so we can paint and replace the floor. So all my stuff is scattered all over the house. No idea where anything is. I guess tomorrow I spend the day looking for the desktop publishing program so I can get started on the magazine. So if anyone has sent me an email and I haven't responded, that's why. I've only got about 250 email to go through now. John John T. Blair WA4OHZ email: jblair1948 at cox.net Va.

Canada passed away Tuesday, January 26, 2010, at the age of 43 years. I'd like to put together something for the magazine. So if anyone has any pictures of Ray, please email them to me. Also, if anyone would like to write something up, please do and email it to me for the magazine. I'm laying out the April issue of the magazine now. So if you can put something together in the next week (or let me know if you need a little more time) that would be great. The April issue has to go to the printer March 1st.
