Needle work??? Bwa ha ha!! You ARE showing your age. Women
haven't
done that since the middle ages.
Maybe he meant shooting up some smack ;-)
Don't give me any ideas, C' ...
Just because it was good in the "middle" ages, doesn't mean it isn't
good anymore.

Hate to burst your bubble, Har.....but "smack" was not around in the
middle ages. It was not refined enough until the turn of the century
(1900). It is a morphine derivative.

And I am taking a giant leap of faith here in assuming you knew what in
heck "smack" was. Your answer is suitably Harry-vague-ish enough to
conclude that you didn't know, grin.

I haven't heard the term "smack" since the 60's.

You and Quirke showing your age, old guys?? In the 60's I was a prim
and proper housewife and mother. None of this wild hippy druggy abandon
pour moi. (I can't believe I said that, LOL)

Older than that. I was into the bohemian thing with Kerouac, William
Burroughs, Alan Ginsburg, etc. and the existentialist thing with Sartre,
Kierkegaard and Camus.

That's not to say that the sixties weren't fun, what with most of the
young male population in Nam ;-)

Nah, I think only Har Har Harry is older than I am. I missed out on the
whole 60's scene by a couple of years. When the going got wild, I was
married with a baby......Sigh. But OTOH, maybe that was a good thing,
grin.

You prim and proper, who are you trying to kid, I'm now running for my
life g

Seems as though I did find a corn, although I am 'blind', vaguely speaking.
....Soon I'm going to have to start running.

My BIOS shows the AGP Driving value fixed at '64' with an 'x' to the left.
According to SiSoft I have one PCI/AGP Bus each.
The 4-in-1 drivers are installed.
And there is no mention of AGP in Device Manager.
Since everything is working allright, I might as well forget about this.

Agreed... "tip-toe away quietly" ;-)

Tho it's disturbing in the sense of interpreting answers to questions
one might ask that aim to find out whether a user's AGP base drivers
are in place, in the context where all is not well (e.g. "I can't
install my display drivers, they just don't 'take' when I try")

HAHA! What fascinates me is how old drugs are new again, often with a
change in ritual to go with it.

What was tossed back by WW2 pilots in the '40s, mass-prescribed for
depression by GPs in the '50s and used by the packetful by mods and
rockers in the '60s, is now called "P" in NZ, "Tik" where I live, and
"crystal" or "meth" most everywhere else.

Hey, do folks drink meths anymore? That was always a bad idea, but
you know how popular bad ideas can be.

We had an athletics doping scandal in the papers a while back (and I
can tell you, it takes a lot to make the papers here. Baby goes
missing in shopping mall? Yawn). It was a school race meeting, and
the winners tested positive for Tik. It was primary school race
meeting, and these weren't 12-year-old "seniors" either.

The ritual of Tik is to crush the powder up and drop it through a hole
drilled into the back of an incandescent light bulb, heat the round
pit containing the powder over a flame, and suck in the smoke though a
drinking straw.

Which means that cafes don't hand out drinking straws to kids anymore,
and there are a lot of dark classrooms in the schools...

According to 'SiSoft' and/or 'Aida32' and/or 'Everest' HE the drivers are
installed, I 'm just unable to manipulate it in the BIOS, which means to me:
leave it alone.
