Queen of Hearts, Mosaic has outdone herself with these two links:This and This. In figuring an estimate of time, it will take us 217 years +or- 3% to digest this material where we can feel proficient with it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Talk about info overload. Whew!! This is great. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
greengoose1
can't blame just me https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Those are excellent links glad you brought them forward. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Yeah, that's right, it was your idea originally!! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Bet your machine does better than what you originally planned ALSO
------------------

No bet. My momma didn't have no..... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Anything I said would get me into trouble. Look at sweetmercy's post. Interesting - any ideas?
Intel 866mghz $239.00
It said on the list at Price Combat (one of those on Mosaic's link) it was going to be 247.00 for the 866mhz but when I went to the site, it was only $239.00 >>>retail boxed with three year Warranty. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
This may be another eyeroller for bistro, but here goes.
A is my floppy
C is the one I save stuff to
D is the CDROM
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Why don't I have a B drive?
Mosaic,
Are you kidding ? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
[This message has been edited by Queen_of_Hearts (edited 01-01-2001).]
Cool stuff on price QoH. Drive B is for a second floppy. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
The sleeper has come forth again. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Mosaic, Where can I learn more about these codes?
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/Awwwww.....I was hoping I had a place I hadn't discovered yet with a few hundred extra MB's. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
hmmmmmm....wonder who writes those MSKB articles....and who the editor is !
Mosaic is correct--the B drive was the old 5.25 floppies (*sniff*...which I greatly miss...NOOOOTTTT!). After those became passe', a bunch of techies got together and pondered, "B or not B? That is the question."
If you were to install (slave) a second floppy there, it will have that drive letter.
BTW, QoH; I'm not rolling my eyes at any of your questions--just ask. No "dumb" ?'s here. (Ok, I might giggle a little, but only to myself...) https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

B:\ can be a floppy or a LS120 also.
Haven't chased the wiring of a Zip yet. But see them there in the stores. But, mosaic1 is correct as to original function. My 386 has one. But, have not tried to find floppies for it.
Mosaic1
M$ is funny that way . WHOOPERS at that.

ZIP and floppy don't mix. Different animules. Don't try putting a ZIP on a floppy cable.
What I thought and Ths LS120 has a double hookup at that.
bistro you back home yet??
------------------
SMILE
Back home. Long drive; geting ready to hit the hay.
I heard you giggling bistro.
You get home ok ? We were worried you might encounter "your #1 fan" https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
[This message has been edited by Queen_of_Hearts (edited 01-01-2001).]
Sorry--my mind is gone..."#1 fan"? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Thanks. She's doing much, much better. Still gets tired real quick--been taking it easy.
Happy New Year to all--where did 2000 go so quick? Feel like I've been caught in a time warp...
Start the new year correctly, get some sleep.
bistro , from here on out time will just speed by faster each year. And I always seem to have more to do https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
No place like home, where ever we hang our hats.
Happy New Years folks.

QOH: Ooooohhhhhh... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ No, didn't meet her, but there was this woman in a pickup truck on the turnpike today that I felt like doing some of the same things to her... http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/cwm/angryfire.gif
Nite all. See ya tomorrow sometime.
How much are these? http://www.fun4everybody.com/fpages/.../cartoon90.jpg
Today, I saw what you mentioned in the Fridaynight thread about people stoppin' triffic for miles just to watch someone getting a ticket. Amazing.....and maddening !
Night https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Time to hit the sack and dream. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im.../2001/04/1.gif
That's the old style greengoose, it's been updated to one button cordless now. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Night all https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Morning All, QoH, but I couldn't find a price. Oh,well. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Glad you're back Bistro and wife feeling better. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train, still cloudy down here. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Morning,
I have been hereby notified https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
.....then and there to be qualified to serve as a Petit Juror.
Hope I don't get sequestered !
Now watch as QoH gets put on a jury of a case that goes national....won't hear from her for 6 months... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Yikes! Can see the headlines now..."Defense Attorneys Call for Mistrial! Sequestered juror dismissed for building a computer in her motel room and accessing the Internet!" https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ bistro !
*snif* .....I didn't get picked.
Gotta be back every morning all week just in case. Kinda screws my whole work day. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Didn't get picked?? Why? Weren't you "petit" enough? Do they have a midget on trial and needed short jurors? What?
Hey, just ordered the InWin S500 case--will report findings when it arrives. (Trying to save money, so I elected to have it delivered by stagecoach...)
QoH, better you than us. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ (called three times last year or was it the year before)
I guess I musta put on a few more lbs than I thought over the Holidays https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Still get my 6 bucks anyways ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Hey !! that'll almost pay for the Golden ORB ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Excellent bistro ! Guess I can go ahead an order that anyway....when my check gets here.
Let me know how long it takes the stagecoach....might have to go that route, too.
[This message has been edited by Queen_of_Hearts (edited 01-02-2001).]
Ordered the case from Directron--$67 including shipping. No power supply or fans (already have those). Included the instructional sheet and 4 thumbscrews just for kicks. Should be here in a few days.
Was going to order the genuine teak and mahoghany version with the 24K gold trim, but just settled for "beige".
I'm not settling ! http://www.zing.com/picture/pd9f07ac...5/ff047fd0.gif
THE BOA CONSTRICTOR
It's only *$463.00 + S&H
*price shown does not include 300W power supply or fan
also comes in coral and python !

Surrrrre...that would fit right in with that Crocodile Hunter motif I was planning for the living room.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
....it is kinda "manly"
Think I'll look a little more before I decide for sure.
hmmmmm......maybe feathers.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Yep, it's for real..they also have a "Kitty" one---here. Don't know exactly how functional these are though... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
[This message has been edited by bistro (edited 01-02-2001).]
