Hi gang,
Holy smokes! Too much mail. My delete button was on fire during the brake lever bebate. Must have put a load on my 4 cylinder computer. I was already running behind about two weeks on some things when my computer threw a rod on the information super highway. I had to jack it up in my driveway and replace the muffler bearing and put in a new radiator. Decided to adjust the timing chain while I under there on my creeper. Only had to rent one gear puller and a left handed monkey wrench to fix this bad boy. That and a 12 lb. sledge was all it took. As you can see, she still runs. Never mind the duct tape holding the hood down on this unit; It still works long enough to retrive the information I need to set the replacement unit up it its place.
As Dale mentioned; a generous computer person has offered to send me a more modern machine. There was also a second offer which I appreciate as well, but had to decline. Thanks for everyones' help; I'll turn this brontosaurus out to pasture. I'm going to miss Netscape 3.0; it's all I'm somewhat familiar with. This could be scary.
I've been on a serious work binge which has caused my deleiquent email responces. I'll catch up on my correspondance in case I have a little trouble getting the new piece running. I won't know how to work a computer that doesn't have a hand crank to start it.
Thanks!
