    Oh ya.........if I bought one of those for her, I'd be sleepin' in the garage for sure!!
  2. It SOUNDS like you're out of ink. How old are the cartridges? sometimes they just dry up if they're not used much I have a HP 930C and the color cartridge seems to go first and then later on, the black. What I do when the color one goes is to set the printer to pring in "greyscale" and then it only uses black ink.
  3. Did your PC come with restore disks? If so, you should be able to get by with the upgrade version if you want to save $100. If you don't have any restore disks, then you will have to get the full version. With either full or upgrade, you should be able to install and keep all your files and other stuff.
  4. When they say "full version" they mean that you can put the CD in the drive and it will install the complete OS. If you are using a "upgrade" version, you have to insert the install disk from a previous version to prove that you own the version that you are trying to upgrade from. Usually the upgrade version is a little cheaper but having to fiddle around with the other install disk all the time gets to be a pain. When I went from 2K to XP, I bought the upgrade version but if I had it to do again, I think I would have sprung for the extra $ and bought the full version.
  5. I assume that you are trying to install from CD If the box gets thru the POST without problems, then I would suspect the CD drive or the cables.....are they all seated tight? I would also test the memory as there could be a problem there. Please keep us all up to date as to what you try and especially when it's fixed. There should be some valuable lessons here for all of us. Good luck!!
  6. A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?" "No," he replied, "arthritis." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect." "Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?" "Twelve thirty." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A very elderly gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair well g

  10. One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along" the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also." The second man, in a

  13. Two guys from Daniels County are quietly sittin' in a boat at Fort Peck Montana fishing and suckin' down beer when suddenly Karnes says, "I think I'm going to divorce my wife - she hasn't spoken to me in over 2 months." Earl sips his beer and says, "You better think it over - women like that are hard to find."

  16. I know that you can run Eudora for free but you don't get all the features. I believe that the spam blocker is only available in the paid mode. I used to run Eudora back a few years and I had paid for it when it was version 4 It is up to version 7 now and upgrades stopped being free at version 6 and that is when I started looking for a different program. I still switch between Eudora 5.2 and Thunderbird and like both.

  20. The new supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn. I don’t buy toilet paper there any more.
  21. oh yeah, very good!!!!!!

  23. An old Wild West fort is about to be attacked. The wily old general sends for his trusty Indian scout. "You must use all your thirty years of skill in trying to estimate the sort of army we are up against here." The trusty Indian scout lies down and puts his ear to the ground. "Heap large war party," he says, "maybe three hundred braves, four chiefs, two on black stallions, two on white stallions. All have war paint. Many many guns. Medicine man also with them." "Good grief!" exclaims the general. "You can tell all of that just by listening to the ground?" "No," replies the Indian, "I can see
