  1. yo chappy

    well after a few hits and misses

    i finally put the new mobo in the compt

    i had trouble with the little black pins on the side of the board

    but with a bit of trial and error

    i got it going

    there are two orange lights that sow up on this board

    and i cant tell what they are for

    how ever it has made no difference to the compt

    as well i had trouble with the 2 hdds

    i installed the one i had xp on before o redid the mobo

    and it was giving me a blue screen .

    also i didnt know where to put the floppy connection

    i forgot to ask you

    how ever i looked at the connections and counted

    the pins and thats how i fitted

    it

    \so i installed xp on the other one and then

    deleted the partition on the original hdd

    which i now use for a storage

    and it goes quite good .

    my trouble is i have poor eye sight

    and i was like the newly weds

    feeling

    i had to use a magnitying glass

    to read the fine print

    i used your pics as a guide.

    but it is going so far

    so thanks for your help

    i THINK

    i can build one from scratch now

    I THINK?

    look i must go it is now 12 midnight

    ans

    and it has taken me

    over 8 hrs to get it together

    but it is up and away

    touch wood

    thanks again

  2. "when my family and friends

    found i was gay

    did i get the bums rush"

    That IS funny!!  One of Son's friends since 2nd grade is gay and has a great sense of humor--I'm passing that quote on to him, he will love it!!

    Thanks,

    hi liz

    bums rush means shunned by the public

    the stranest thing about being gay in my country

    it is legal to marry each other

    but not to be aired on public tv

    which is run by the white population

    but the ethnic chanels

    can air it.

    i try to keep an open mind about gay people

    my one Querry is if all the people were gay

    there wouldnt be any population

    tho i say live and let live

  3. Hi Marty

    Both the HDD and CDROM will be IDE connections and they look like this...

    The Primary IDE is where the HDD should connect to, and is usually marked as "PRIM IDE" or similar. It will work in either IDE channel but its normally set as the HDD is set in the Master position (top connector on the cable) and is in the Primary IDE connection.

    If you look real close at the picture with the blue and white connections, on the lower right side of each connector you'll see one marked as IDE1 and the other IDE2, where IDE1 would be the primary channel.

    Also remember that the BLUE end of the IDE cable always goes to the MoBo.

    If you need more help just ask.

    hi chappy those pics were really helpful

    ive printed that post

    so i can refer to it

    my Q once this sys is put together

    will i need to reinstall xp

    when i built the p2 i had to reinstall

    xp

    but seing it is going from one p3 to another

    the change is the mobo and the chip.

    hey this is a challenge for me.

    tho im learing fast

    if i remember you and pete helped me with the p2

    and i was a real nooby those days.

    n0ot to say im any better now

    but i know the names of the components now.

    so ive advanced a little bit.

    thanks

    hugely

  4. i have to send this little quip

    i just watched a local gay show run by

    a native ethnic group

    who dont condone gays

    and it was so funny

    im not gay my self, and to be quite honest my personal feelings

    on gays

    i wouldnt like to air them here

    how ever they are so funny

    his sign on quote is

    when my family and friends

    found i was gay

    i quote

  5. hi team ive had a p3 1gig motherboard

    given to me

    at the moment i use a p3 650mh.

    i put together a 500 p2

    and it worked ok

    but this is a bit beyond my realm

    for a start i havent a clue where the

    hdd and cdrom

    fit on to the mobo

    i have a rough idea where the cardslots fit

    and the ram.

    but that hdd and cdrom fittings

    are a bit much. isee two green pin slots

    and i have a feeling they are the hdd and cd connections

    ive tried google ive tried another board.

    so as a last resort ive come here .

    any ideas

    marty

  6. The only problem there Marty, is now you do not know how much LEGITIMATE email you're possibly missing because of this.

    Your ISP may be filtering way too much stuff and you'll never realize it....it doesn't bother them at all if they throw out good emails along with the bad, and it gives the impression that they are doing a good job for you, as you'll never know what you're missing.

    I would much prefer to filter my own mail and not have my ISP touch it at all, but the vast majority of users on this ISP, have no idea how to filter unwanted mail, so the ISP goes with the majority who want them to filter it for them.

    I know for a fact that I've missed some emails since I've had friends write back and ask why I never replied to something....well, I didn't recieve it...thats why.

    reading an Arab newspaper?"

    .

    Moshe replied, "I used to read the Jewish

    newspaper, but what did I find? Jews being

    persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews

    disappearing through assimilation and

    intermarriage, Jews living in poverty. So I

    switched to the Arab newspaper. Now what do

  11. hi team i wonder if this has happened to any one else.

    in the past ive allways disabled remote desktop.

    but i see it is now enabled.

    i can only presume it has been enabled through one of the

    microsoft patches

    i always view any remote appli with suspician.

    because it is a way for hackers and baddies.

    to enter your sys with out you knowning.

    as im in the dark as to the purpose of the remote desktop.

    i can only presume microsoft has enabled it

    so they can keep an eye on your sys and you

    hope im wrong.

    no doubt it is always handy to keep an eye on your sys.

    i now understand how others can enter your sys.

    with out you knowing.

    any ideas.

    Any client computer would have to know your computer's name and have permission to access it via remote desktop. Just having RD enabled doesn't automatically allow access.

    thanks joe

    i just feel uncomfortable knowing it is enabled

    and there is know way of disabling it other than deleting it

    it must have come with a win update.

    as i didnt enable it .

    where did you find the article i tried win and micro support

    i also tried help and support but it

    tell you how to disable it .

    how ever i may have to live with it.

  13. i thought this was poste sometime ago

    however here gos

    A man meets a beautiful girl and they begin a torrid love

    affair, almost. She would let him do most anything he

    wanted except she would never let him see her naked. I'll

    put an end to this he thought, I'll marry her.

    Well their weeding night came around and sure enough again

    to go change for bed she went and hid in the closet,

    demanding that he turn off the lights so she could go to

    bed. This perturbed him so he told her that now they were

    married and she didin't have to hide in the closet any more.

    No you'll laugh at me was all she would say and still

    refused to come out. Finally the man promised he wouldn't

    laugh because he loved her so much. Ok she said I'll come

    out and when she did much to the man's chagrin his new wife

    had one huge tit right in the middle of her chest. The man

    had never seen anything like this and immediately started to

    laugh. You promised she cried and she promptly lifted up her

    arm and peed on him.

  14. Jim decided to propose to Sandy, but prior to her acceptance Sandy had

    to confess to her man about her childhood illness. She informed Jim

    that she suffered a disease that left her breasts at maturity of a 12

    year old. He stated that it was OK because he loved her soooo much.

    However, Jim felt this was also the time for him to open up and admit

    that he also had a deformity too.

    Jim looked Sandy in the eyes and said.... "I too have a problem. My

    penis is the same size as an infant and I hope you could deal with

    that once we are married."

    She said, "Yes I will marry you and learn to live with your infant

    size penis."

    Sandy and Jim got married and they could not wait for the Honeymoon.

    Jim whisked Sandy off to their hotel suite and they started touching,

    teasing, holding one another...As Sandy put her hands in Jim's pants

    she began to scream and ran out of the room! Jim ran after her to find

    out what was wrong.

    "You told me you penis was the size of an infant!", she said.

    "Yes it is..... 8 pounds, 7 ounces, 19 inches long!!"
