  3. dont get me wrong i would like to try it out. when i had it on my sys i had to use a dual boot with xp . at first windows wouldnt recognise the linux iso.and made the linux os dissapear of the sys well i didnt know how to fix this but got help.it seems to put both on dual boot you need to install linux first but haven tried that yet. but i have just made a p2 compt but it only has a 4.5hdd and 64 megs of ram do you think this is enough resources to install with these specs. marty i have a knoppix disk which ive had for 2 years. at first my sys wo
  4. well i have to disagree about linux being popular. in 2003 i bought mandrake 9.1 and i had a hell of a time finding a linux forum. on any board techtv didnt have it until the later time of its tenure then it was incorprated into tss. and because i was new to linux operating sys. i couldnt get help any where. i tried cnet ,znet.most other boards the only place i could get help was from chris perrilla .when he was a presenter for techtv. he co owned a site. where he is to this day . but help was basic .those disks are still in the packs.what i find with linux it is a snobs OS developed by tec

    Birthday

    hey team this is how you get naked for your birthday. i got this frominternet news.dont ever get caught like this marty Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, but I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say "Happy Birthday" and probably have a present for me. But, she didn't even say "Good Morning," let alone any "Happy Birthday." I thought, well...that's a wife for you. I guess, the children will remember. Then, the children came into breakfast, but, they didn't say a word. When I started to the office, I was feeling pretty

  13. hey echo if you want to access the posts in the news section all you have to do is right click the post and your scanner is enabled to scan that post.when i got the warning .i was a bit of a novice .what had happened some one one the board had asked about unchecking the attachements in OE so they could read their email. so i went in and tried it before i posted and forgot to recheck the attache box.that is why avast started screeming. at me. i now have avg and avast but i have avast disabled for incomming mail. so now i can scan with 2av's havent done it before so it is something ive learned

  15. good one shadow did you get that from internet news jokes plenty in there. that was very aptly put marty
  16. yes the polinesian language is now applied to the k-board when we install winxp the option is to include the language pack of aoteroa which is maori or nz polinisain tho i havent had to use it yet i went to see my daughter last month. and i met my first snake . it crawled up the back door it scared me ,as the most dangerous animal in new zealand is human beings. i asked her if she was going to kill it.and she told me off . and said dad remember we are invading their space and they should be allowed move around.if you dont disterb them they will go away.i said bugger that . im going to slee
  17. I knew this looked like something I read over at worldstart in there off topic board. Mountain man has the same thread over their. It is a funny read though. http://forum.worldstart.com/showthread.php?t=50813 i got this from the internet news joke section.so who ever posted may got it from there. while im on the subject of internet news when i joined internet news which is a service from your isp. when i downloaded the subjects there were. 67.000 of them and covered things like- jokes- compts -sex- moter subjects you name it theve got it . i first got it because being a past muscian i wan
  18. ha ha mike x i thought of that but she is a very good friends apart from the difference s with compts but my advantage is i can show her the comments from this board . tho i think i can talk her into joining. when she first got a compt . she signed as a member at znet. but it was a bit over her head . quite often i show her the posts from you guys on different.different problems we have and she is impressed. i showed her how to use the command promt for certain things and she was amazed. so may be we should aim our,Q AND A to these sort of people . it sure is a fascinating subject. th
  19. -uberpenguin hi uberpenguin just noticed your post i may be a bit late with this welcome but better late then never. any how welcome .and its good to see you here , your expertise will be welcome. take care marty
  20. yes you are right . spoke to a friend and he said .you have give your address to get an online scan but i cant remember doing that.ive emailed panda asking how they got my email. it may be that some one else has done it. ive always used trend micro house call.and they email for alerts. i didnt know panda gave free scans.i always thought you had to pay. that is why i didnt use it.i like free ware . now it does as good as payed ones. have you access the security site for microsoft.they recommend payed ones but also avg .avast.panda. so micro soft respects free ones as well.
  21. I Googled for XP + Wordpad and came up with this message board thread. Maybe it will help you. I have Windows 2000, and it was Notepad that gave me trouble for awhile. Finally did a search for it and found it. Wierd, how things just disappear. Fixing Wordpad Go back to the Dr to tell him about worsening eye trouble. You know with Diabetes that is one thing to closely watch. Heart, eyes, and feet are all things to especially take care of with Diabetes. I should talk, I need to go in and get glasses with eyes worsening it seems by the month. And I don't even have Diabetes, though Dad did. I j
  22. i have my eyes checked every 6 months.and i got these glasses becuase i was having trouble seeing to the right and left of my eyes. but they were checked.in august and i had a cataract in my left eye. but not bad enough to warrant an operation. tho my doc keeps an on my progress. you mentioned some one in your near family had diabetes well keep your self checked as it can be passed on from familys . i agree wieght can be a dis advantage i go to exercise classes 2 days a week. but diet can controll that. marty
  23. ok thanks team i have avast .which i use as my regular scanner and a web based scanner house call, which i have a house call button on my tool bar but house call is only operational until you scan from the website.so there is no conflict. the reason i asked about avg and avast is a friend has the 2 sys and i quoted what i had read from these boards. about not using 2 av;s on the one sys. but she said you will have to convince me . so i can show her these posts. so thanks team forever helpful. marty
