hi team
thanks for the advice i havent bin here for sometime
and havent bin able to work on the machine
yes ive deciced to change the sys
the unit is to small for xp or win7
and with only 512 mg of ram not many linux sys will load
on to one this small
at this stage i dont want to go any bigger
as they are learners
but once we getem going we can think of some thing else
so if any one can recommend a linux sys that fits 512 ram
and if so where do i get it from
thanks

hi team i have this flatbed scanner
a usb microtek
win 7 could not find drivers
i hunted all up and down the net for em
i tran fered the scanner
to a machine with winxppro
and it found the driver at boot up and set every thing up with out my help
can some one tell me why the difference between the two sys
my opinion wind 7 is a piece of of commercialised bullshit
and the atrangest thing it finds most drivers
compatable to microsoft
and have forgotten
users who have other
com[ponent hardware
any offers

Hi Marty, hang in there.

Must be close to spring now for you, cold South Pole winds.

hi here is an indepth look at the quake
on news and video
i see the xperts have likened it to the haiti
shake
where thousands were killed
we didnt lose a life here
and i feel new zealanders are
quake savvy and keep strictly to the rule we are taught
there were lots of damage
while im on the structural damagea
houses built from ninetys on were the ones damaged
and thing any built
back in 80-70"s
were not touched
dosent that tell people of the building standards
from then until now
my home was built in the 80"s
and other my wet pants
no damage
however here is an indepth news and video
on the event
forgot to mention that
news and video was sent to me by bill mallanson
bless him

yo hitest
yes lets say i may have peed my pants
where i was born earthquakes are common
but small this bugger wa 5 times as strong
and worse was the after shocks
a friend and i toured over the affected area
all bridges
in the area once an emmergency
was raised
were closed off to the public
strangly enough there were some who tried to flaunt the rules
but the army were on hand
to stopped any one from getting hurt
every year we have earthquake drill
were we have do what is safe ffor us
like when the quake started
i made for the door and stayed on my lawn
until i though ti was safe
those after shakes are the frightening thing
so i stayed close to my door
it was bloody clod
as we are comming off winter
some residence went for tents
and the sadining part there were children
ok other parts of the world have it worse then us
but when it happens to you
you pee your pants
sorry for wandering off but i needed to get it off my chest
now i feel better
