  1. Went and sprung the old man from the home for mommy day. Rib Eye steaks on sale at the Kroger. Just a little garlic powder and threw some dry hickory chips on top of the lava rocks in a gas grill for smoke and charring. We like ours burnt rare. Fresh local asparagus - just nuked it for 4 min in a covered dish /w a little water, then drained it and added a little melted butter. Brother brought about 2lbs of morel mushrooms they found yesterday- about $120 dollars worth if bought retail- breaded in flour/salt/pepper and pan fried. A bowl of au graten potatos and momma's cole slaw. Walnut brownie
  2. Yeah, it could be that the people I know were involved in raising or trucking cattle. Mom's brother Pete before he passed on used to say his momma in law was the best tamale maker in West Texas. But he said he was more fun as momma didn't allow the whiskey bottle in the kitchen. They always pressure cooked like beef round or flank.
  3. I had freinds tell me that people in Texas didn't know what pork was. Said they never saw anything but beef on menus and at cookouts.

    Gub'ment Cheese!

    OH! I forgot about THAT gub'ment cheese. Why, they'll turn me into a government-dependent liberal yet! I have the coupon but haven't used it yet. Where'd you get the box that cheap? I got it at Kmart while looking for something else. I heard rumors that Wal Mart has one for $40 but I decided it was worth $9 to avoid that trip.. @Pete, yes people seem to forget at times that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

    Gub'ment Cheese!

    It is $600 per person, 1200 for a couple and 300 per dependent. Youngsters as home need to talk to mom and dad about their cut. I have not filed a return since 1990 and I get one by filling out the SS income line on the 1040 and printing stimulus payment across the top. I see Dell has a Vista system for $399 as this weeks online special. Or Staples has a 64 bit Compaq Presario lappy for $399. Oh and speaking of cheese, I got my $40 coupon for an analog from HD converter. I bought a Magnavox and paid $9 + sales tax out of pocket. If you watch broadcast TV it is well worth getting.
  6. Have you rechecked the permissions on the file server? It doesn't sound like it replies when this machine goes looking.
  7. 1. Use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test basic connectivity. Use Ping to isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations. Use PathPing to detect packet loss over multiple-hop trips. To watch Ping statistics, use the ping -t command. To see statistics and continue, press CTRL+BREAK. To stop, press CTRL+C. If you detect lost packets in the statistics output, it indicates networking problems up to Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 3 (IP-level connectivity). If the remote system that you ping is across a high-delay link, such as a satellite link, responses m
  8. Sorry, I don't have a PDF reader loaded. But you might find this useful.
  9. I seem to be the only one around here who still follows traffic laws including the cops. Just pop the cruise control button and it is hard to get a a speeding ticket.
  10. Kernel mode drivers? "Drivers can be written in either user mode (also called version 3 drivers) or kernel mode (also called version 2 drivers). In Windows NT 4.0, drivers were moved into kernel mode to improve performance. However, when a kernel-mode driver fails, it can crash an entire system, whereas the failure of a user-mode driver causes only the current process to crash. Because of this difference, and because performance enhancements were made in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, native drivers on Windows 2000 and later run in user mode." Mebbie you need to brush up on your XP also
  11. NT/2000/XP uses the object oriented approach to memory management. The application or device driver say only "I want memory". It cannot tell windows which physical memory or which memory addresses it wants, or even the range of addresses it want to fall within. Windows uses virtual memory manager to interface between the application or driver and the physical or virtual that it controls. Memory is allocated in 4k segments or pages. Applications or devices written for Windows NT/200/XP only know how many pages they have. The the virtual memory manager takes care of the rest. It is free to sto
  12. Speaking of the good 'ol days, some of you might know why the kiddies got me riled here

  14. Partly sunny and 74 for today. Just mixed up some miracle grow in a watering can and feed the tulip and maple trees I planted two years ago. There is an 80 degree day in the forecast for next week.
  15. Like I said, it all sounds familiar from when I bought a machine with pre SP1 XP on it because my A+ texts were all about XP. Myself, I am deciding if my economic stimulus check will go for upgrades or a new machine. I have seen many new ones running Vista for $500 and Staples is featuring a laptop with dual core 64 bit processor, 1GB RAM and a 160GB HD for $449. Matter of fact I saw where Staples is having a sale on PNY RAM. I can get a gig for this for $68.
  16. Windows users fight to save XP It seem like just yesterday that I was a new guy on TTV being told to get that XP off my machine and get me some good Windows like 98 or ME.
  17. As long as the fibreglass doesn't have big holes it's all fixable.
  18. Don't forget that no matter what the program you must know how to use it. A warning box pops up and wants you to give or deny permission. If you don't know what to select the best will not protect you.

    Hi Everyone

    Hi there. Have you ever noticed that no matter where you go there you are.
  20. knock knock... who's there? Ben Hur Bun Hur who? Ben hur an hour let me in St Pete!
  21. Tremors! Is that you Burt?
  22. Hey guys, thanks for the input and I'll give an update since I made this post last August. I have been using the Mc suite since Sept. as it is free with comcast. And regardless of my AV and firewall I have and use CCleaner, AdAware, Spybot S&D and Spybotblaster plus installing the MS MVP and Spybot host file blockers. It is no joke that the suite is a resource hog. On startup I have to wait two or three minutes while it downloads and installs updates and if my browsing slows to a crawl I know it is updating. While typing this reply I have 149.82 Mb Ram available out of 512 on a CeleronD X8
