*sighRose said:*already misses Tonks*You've been scarce lately as is.
i know. i've been working, working, working and getting stuff done around here. i picked up a second waitress gig to make extra money until after christmas and birthdays and until my ex gets his shit straight and can send me regular cheddar.

My excuse is a tough cold and now a tough work week, we're receiving roughly 1600 cases in a span of 4 days starting with today's big Christmas bulk shipment. My resets are gonna have to wait even longer to get done, and they're already well overdue, plus I have to set a whole aisle in 2 days at a new store for my old boss next week. At least I got a week off in a month, woohoo!

scott - i'll have to let rob explain but i was about to have a nice new (to me) computer but my sound card and windows 2000 had a fight and the sound card won...or something...anyway i get a win.exe error and windows won't start. all i can do is scratch my head and hope that rob can fix it soon. 
inky - stranger things have happened but i don't hold out much hope.

If it's any consolation Tonks, I now have HALF a glass of bottle caps.
Come back soon, don't work too hard!

She is getting my old trusty t-bird with the 1.33 chip that had been nothing but a barebones cruncher for the folding program. In it was going my old 32 meg Matrox vidcard, my soundblaster live card, and 256 in ram. HomeLAN also hooked her up with a beastly 21 inch monitor. Her dying keyboard and mouse were also being switched out with other parts of the fleet. The only thing to come over intact was her hard drive. 80% of it was saved across the network into my machine. Everything was going dandy until the very last driver install... the soundcard. That sucker instantly created a fatal winlogon.exe death loop that I have been trying to unwind for a day. Booting from the disc: no good. Booting in safe mode: no good. Repair functions: no good. Fiddling with anything and everything in the BIOS: no good. All attempts to even get it to recognize an hastily made a: drive DOS boot: no good... which probably means that the floppy is fubar. At this point were looking at a total wipe and reinstall ...if the silly machine would just let me in for 5 seconds to get it started. All in all.. when completed... it should be 4 times the machine that she did have.catocom said:Upgrade? Do tell.
Whacha puttin in?

are you kidding? my music, poems, and pics were saved. in retrospect i wish i had asked rob to mail me some more of the pics we had taken of the girls and of canada. they're lost now.Oz said:My first thoughts when I read this thread were "Oh shit, I hope she's saved her music!"
also, now i will have a cd burner.
thanks, steve.
