System swap

I am gonna swap out systems today. I am no sort of guru for this BS either, and I would rather work on a machine that would have GREASE AND OIL .

Why I might have to vacuum behind things too and do battle with 3rd world denizens living behind the file cabinet

Then there could be delays in my screw ups, and etc, then last these $20.00 are popping up around the room.. I have no idea how this is happening... Under my butterscotch tin there was one, and then another under a picture of a bird in a frame, I found so far, and who knows where the next one might be found..

Oh man! I hope this keeps up


:-* JIM!

Damn Mac, if I knew you had $20 bills growing all around your place I would have been more observant when I was there last year. ;)

Whoa! I didn't know this site was in colors I is back on sort of. Got no clue how to run winders xp. Went to get Avast and got some other bs registery organiser which fixed 100 errors and left 267 other errors.

Some kid had this system before me and I killed traces of naughty stuff. I suspect missing naughty filles remnats as pdf files too. I don't seem to have working pdf file readers yet.

This is just so excitin' . Well that's no more fog anyway.

I guess the main problem now is the 56 k mo dumb. tryin' ta' git adobie reader files is taking a few life times.

I went for the free avast, and got re-routed some how, and got a registery cleaner offer good for 15 days. I declined it too, but it came in anyway, and I removed it fast.

When this DL is done I will go for Avast.

I got a litle realestate problem too. there is the address bar I want.
Under it is a tool bar I want
Under that is a favorites bar with tabs, I don't want. I can't figure out if I am stuck with it or not.

Not sure if it is a part of IE 8, a part of Mozillia Fire Fox or what? This was a kids pc before me. I just beat the kid at pin ball waiting around LOL.

Thiis Acer monitor is bright too, and now I got lots of room on the table for beers since this monitor is a flat one.

And best of all the key board has great big fat healthy lookin' lettars! . Hope it won't break real easy.

Sly, I don't buy much new stuff, when there is tons of used stuff around. About all I do is hack around, in the old fashion sence of hack around. I chat up bikes, and guns.

Geese What I do now?

Jim got a bigger tour around this time. His bike took lesser time than I expected since he was very hands on helping, and I pulled a wicked cheat on that swingarm. There were a few problems in the cheat and I forgot the big chrome axel washer, but even with that I beat all records in time.

Then it rained a cold hard rain, and I tawked Jim inta' staying over for a BETTER RIDE.

So he got to see some of my bark, sinew and stone tools, plus 2 scalps. I can't seem to place the blonde one anywhere ???

It's around here somewhere. You just don't make this stuff 'since 1984' and not have a great deal of it semi lost.

Bein yer basic nobody, and not real interested in man's silly ways, when I am gone most of my stuff will be gone too. I don't even want a marker to mark my last restin' place, just nuthin, but in someways some of what I do in stone is gonna be around, maybe lost and useless, but it will be around for the next 10,000 years somewhere. (probably in some museum, where what ever modern man becomes, will ponder in carbon dating stone tools made in the late 20th century )

This brings up why I never worry. Any day I please, I can go live like a cave man and like it.

I think the bark fishing line 50 feet long and tapered with 2 bone toggles and a a few wood and bone hooks, with tiny bead like hand made stone sinkers impressed Jim the most.

If Mac got a Mac, he wouldn't be going through this BS. Using Windows is like owning a HD and an evo at best.

Don't see many used Mac machines around. This new to me no name rig seems to be working ok, with the new store bought monitor. Mark tipped me off in a pm for a cleaner which did work pretty well, and more important explained in detailed steps how to use it. Also including another down load to get which defrags.

I tried a scan disk as if this were win 98, and that scared me. The system went into a like blue screen of death, but I guess it was a message supposed to be there upon system start up.

If I get lucky, this system will still be running about the time '7' is obsolete.

The kind of system I need, will have just 2 buttons apx 4 feet from the ground,,, standing.
