  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!

  4. 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 groomed, great looking suit, flower

    in his lapel smelling slightly of a good after shave,

    presenting a well looked-after image, walks into an

    upscale cocktail lounge. Seated at the bar is an

    elderly looking lady, (mid eighties).

    The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her,

    orders a drink, takes a sip, turns to her and says,

    "So tell me, do I come here often?"

  5. 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 pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

    "Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.

    They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as

    large as the limousine was. Once underway, one of the poor fellows

    turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for

    taking all of us with you."

    The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The

    grass is almost a foot high."

  6. 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."

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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 under the gate."
