When you are dealing with wiring in the computer, black is USUALLY the negative and red the positive. Unlike house wiring, here you are using a positive and a negative.

A tourist visiting New York City walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a police officer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a Patrol monkey, please." The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop, and took out a monkey. He fit it with a collar and leash and handed it to the officer saying, "That'll be $1,000." The officer paid and walked out with his monkey. Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost s

An old man is sitting on a park bench crying his eyes out. A young jogger comes by and asks him what is the matter. The old man says, "I'm a multimillionare, I have a great big house, the fastest car in the world and I just married a beautiful blonde who satisfies my every need from sunrise till sunset! (sob)." The young jogger says, "Man, you have everything I have ever dreamed for in my life. What could be so wrong in your life that you are sitting here in the park crying?" The old man says, "I can't remember where I live."

A man, his wife, and mother-in-law went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the mother-in-law passed away. The undertaker told them, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your mother-in-law home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?" The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was bur

Hang on to any of the new State of Alabama quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Alabama quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new Alabama quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices." The quarters were

Got it fixed now. Thanks, everybody Jim

That sounds doable, however, I redid the MBR and lost the ability to dual boot and now have no way to boot into Linux so I can't edit the menu.lst file. Any other suggestions?

OK, I should know better but I deleted something in the menu.lst file and now Ubuntu is the ONLY thing that will boot when I start windows. I had wiped the 2nd HD and then partitioned it so I could use some for WinXP backup, and I made a 10 Gig partition in FAT 32 so I could transfer files and then installed Ubuntu (again) into the unallocated space. I was trying to edit the menu.lst file so I could get windows XP to boot by default like I did before because my wife uses the computer, too, and she doesn't get along with Linux. Long story short......I fixed it good!! What I did THEN was rep

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Anchorage man answered his door to find two grim-faced Alaska State Troopers. "We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper. "Tell me! Did you find her?" Wilkens shouted. The troopers looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?" Fearing the worst, an ashen Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first." The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in Kachema

I agree. If you don't have any kind of reputation, nobody will want to buy "as-is' If you buy name brand in a store, you get some tech support and warranty and stuff like that. Now, I DID buy a custom built computer, but I knew the guy, and also trusted him and his work. He's handy if I need him. I did have one problem with the video board and he was able to get me another under warranty. I guess my advice would be "buyer beware!!"

A man askes his wife what she wants for their wedding anniversary and she said "I just want something that goes from 0 to 150 in less than 8 seconds....." so he got her a new bathroom scale! Same guy----asked his wife what she wanted to do for her birthday. She said "I want you to take me out somewhere and spend a lot of money on me" so he took her to the Kwik Trip and gassed up her car!

i still want to be 26 again... OK, your wish is granted......they cloned you and you're both 13 I wish for an Orange County Chopper!!

and also agreed!!

still it's better than using batteries

when you decide which version you want to try, go here http://www.linuxiso.org/ You can download the .ISO files which you burn onto a CD and then you can install that CD onto your computer.

When you do a clean install of XP. it will ask you which drive (if there's more than one) and then it will format it NTFS and then install XP

A chicken farmer went into a local tavern and took a seat at the bar next to a woman patron and orders a glass of champagne. The woman perks up and says, "How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne too!" He turned to her and said, "What a coincidence." He continued, "This is a special day for me, I'm celebrating. " "This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!" said the woman. "What a coincidence." said the man. They clinked glasses and he asked, "What are you celebrating?" "My husband and I have been trying to have a child. Today, my gynecologist told me

I have received two Emails lately from (supposedly) Pay Pal They are informing me that due to the need for increased security, they will now require a check card to be associated with my account, I am already verified with them and I don't use the account very often. I also keep a zero balance in my account and only put money in there when I buy something. Has anybody else gotten mailings like this and does anybody know if they are legit? I don't have a good feeling about this............ Jim

Yahoo!!!!!!!!! Way to go. I knew you could do it!! Jim

Yes, windows will continue normally. It's just that the loading of drivers and such goes on in the background and you wouldn't normally see what is happening if you let the "starting Windows 98" screen show. I remember one time that my wife's computer was having a problem starting because the computer was looking for a program that was supposed to load at startup and she had accidentally deleted it. If I hadn't been looking at startup, I would never have known about it. I once knew a way to completely dissable the startup screen but I don't remember what it is now. I like to see what's g
