    Where's Tenmm?

    He's off partying with a group of young native women. LOL
  2. You tried to help and they put you out. They could not hold a good team together if they had a mile of rope. You are welcome at Besttechie. M
  3. Two great ones for the price of one. Happy Birthday Gents. M
  4. Without pissing off anyone on purpose I have a thought. "The most powerful country in the world can't even look after its own people. How sad." Very sad. We could do more for our own if we didn't send billions and billions out to others. And not everyone who receives this "help" likes the USA for one reason or another. Now should we turn our backs to the rest of the human race, NO. If your neighbor needed desperate help would you help? I would hope you did, and I think you would. After all you are here giving free advice to others. You = you who read this, not one particular person. I= me, my
  5. Just wanted to post this before leaving for the telethon. Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon to Appeal for Hurricane Relief Association to Make Separate $1 Million Donation LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31, 2005 — Legendary comedian Jerry Lewis announced today that his annual Labor Day Telethon benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association will also feature celebrity fund-raising appeals for the relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He also announced that MDA will donate $1 million of its funds to help victims in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Lewis said stars of music, movies, comedy and ot
  6. The Louisiana High School Athletic Association rewrote their bylaws to allow displaced athletes to participate in sports in the school where they register. They have one choice, can't keep jumping schools. I think Texas has done the same or something similar. This is not much but when your in school you want everthing to be "normal". M
  7. Looks like your network it way more secure than the majority of off the shelf networks. Up dste your OS don't share folders. Look at blackviper.com to see what services are needed/unneeded for your situation. M
  8. I nominate hitest for besttechie board councilman. What is your platform. LOL M
  9. OK I gotta say something. As a parent you have a responsability to protect your family. Cat5 hurricane coming your way LEAVE!! Ok you don't have money, Half the city can't use that excuse. Media is coming in and out, do they have anyone aside from their crew? I don't think so. Why sit in the same place fo 5 days starving, walk, do something for yourself. Oh the President didn't approve the money to upgrade the levees, damn their are more than one person in the government. It could have been pushed, lobbied. It would have taken alot of money to make New Orleans ready for a direct hit from a Cat
  10. Some pics. Production platform in the Gulf of Mexico. And ?stub/snub? tail cotton mouth. Yeah a cotton mouth is poisonous. I think the snakes were "inland".
  11. OH NO WAY Flaming at G4! I don't believe you. Come on are you sure your not streching it.... M
  12. I only particle phased in to pick up another pair of underwear, the others melted the elastic when the phase operator juiced me to quick. Now you want to talk about pain...pull burnt elastic from.....sorry ladies, you get the picture. M
  13. Yeah you will get that "up to" at 3am when the world is sleeping and you just happen to download a file, but this is only for a short time. Burst speed is what they are selling. Just because your pinto registers 120 in the speedometer doesn't mean it will get it. If it does it will not hold it for long. M
  14. PG we are following each other...lol as parrot geek mentioned and I faailed to do so the board may need to be replaced. I did one, gathered as much info from the manufactor and the net, read a bit, finished in no time and it worked no spare parts. Look on ebay for parts. Only buy from a seller who has the highest feedbacks. M
  15. PG two post with nothing in them?? Your error or am I not seeing things? You can always give to the Red Cross and have the money go towards the relief effort you want by putting a note in the memo area of checks and money orders. Also a kind word to the volenteers helps, many times they are not given credit for their unselfish acts. They are heros in plain clothes. M
  16. True kinda need to use "old school" hardware...to an extent. Can't use the latest and greatest on a version of an OS that is 3or4 years old. That may give some problems. M
  17. Machine would not boot from cd when it was told to. Had a bad floppy disk. Made another set with different floppies, all went ok. Had a usb keyboard, replaced usb keyboard with a ps2 (round plug) keyboard. Everything is up and running. Drove like a wildman to the customer to get rid of that machine. lol Was having a bad day earlier, could not think very clearly. Sorry if I added to your confusion Liz. If you need I can take your machine for a walk and have a heart to cpu talk with it so it will keep on the right path. M
  18. I would guess that the pad on the board under the keaboard is the problem. My 2 cents M
  19. Where the hell have I been. Say it was just recently changed. Just noticed it today. Sorry..... ???? It looks good to who ever did the work. M
  20. Glad to see you guys are doing well. The offer from the pm is there anytime you need it. We are having problems here with long distance calls. Yesterday we setup internet at a shelter. These people will be able to register with FEMA. M
  21. Can't get machinr to boot from reinstall cd that came with the sys. Have BIOS set for boot from cd. Got a floppy set from M$. Was getting an error, I think it was a bad floppy. Now I get to finish the floppies and asked to install, repair or quit the damn system hangs...no keyboard. Changed keyboard from usb to ps2 it appears to be going fine. Just a heads up for others. M
  22. This is very disheartening. Watching this happen and know that many people have nothing left. No homes, no jobs..... On the local news there was a request for anyone with a small boat to meet at a local mall then on to the New Orleans area for evac and rescue. M KLFY TV Local in Lafayette, LA LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) -- Parents who had to evacuate because of Hurricane Katrina will be able to register their children for school in Lafayette Parish starting Wednesday. Burnell Lemoine, deputy superintendent and chief academic officer for the Lafayette Parish School System, says registration ends Thursd
