Hi Puss....

I will try and answer the pertinent points.....but glad to see you back. My
computer went nuts on me today cuz either a) I changed the batteries in my
wireless keyboard, or b) Rogers was fixing a problem from their end, but it
sure was a rather bizarre experience. Flying OE's and IE's, if I tried to
type, it did the same letter (zoom) across the page, crashed, went into Safe
Mode, and I believe I saw a tear or two dripping down the monitor. (G)
Using an old MS keyboard here, but at least there are letters on it. For
some odd reason, I wear them off. (quiet, you lot!!)

Ron is not blind, but he is flippin' deaf when it comes to my voice, grin.
And she of the slim hips arrived on Wed. morning for 2 weeks, so we have
been shopping, natch. Jewellery design is next on the list. Sadly, we lost
Casey on Sept. 28th to cancer. It took me a long time to get over losing
that silly puss!! I never realized how much I adored him. He was my
baby...............Ron's too. We still expect him to amble around the
corner looking for treats. How is Rosie?? Is she still with you?

Off to go eat some brownies that slim hips made. Guess they won't be all
that slim from here on in, lol. She made out a list of what she wanted for
supper each night and actually that is a good idea. Takes the guesswork out
of "what shall we have for supper tonight".

All the best and glad to see you back on here. We should meet up once a
month or some such and keep the old group going.

P'raps I'll make a point of only turning up at Christmas! It'll be
interesting to see how long that goes on (I expect the Win 95 groups are
still going though, eh? In which case it'll be inteeresting to see how
long the regulars go on! ROFL!!).

Anyway, how is everyone? I trust the bit about Ron being 'blind' is
exaggeration? Hope so.

How's my mate Casey? Kind of fearful asking that. It has been a long time
now! It is 9 years more-or-less to the day, I believe, since I turned up
here. So Mike must be feeling real old! So am I now that Sonny and Cher
just started going on about 'The Beat', going on. La de da de dee. It's
like they say about our 'bobbies', when you want a pine tree there's never
one around!

What about her with the hips? Well, I hope, even if she did spurn my
advances back when we were young!

Later.

Shane. Or someone like him.

Yes, Mike, I stopped bothering to run 64-bit versions some months
ago now. Funnily enough it seemed to me that Server 2008 x64 beta(s)
were less memory intensive than Win 7 x64, which is what finally
drove me back to x86.

That's something I've never felt the need to do so not something
I'll miss. As to running 64 bit, although I have PCs running both
Vista 64 and Win 7 64 I have yet to find a compelling reason to
running 64 bit rather than 32 bit other than perhaps due to the
increased memory demands that result from application and os bloat.

of reminds me of the song (Mr. In-between).
