    Ubuntu install

    You could also try PCLinuxOS, which is maybe second to Ubuntu as the current most popular distro. I was unable to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite laptop, PCLOS went without a hitch, as did the printer, scanner, wireless card, and camera. I don't engage in Holy Wars, I've used mostly...

    If you can read this, your brain works 50% faster than others

    I was actually trained to write backwards in the US Navy, putting up information on edge-lit plexiglas (perspex) boards with grease pencils. It was a week-long unit in radar school in the early 1970's. I can still do it quite easily. People who use morse code hear entire words or phrases when...

    SX 2000 Light Crashing

    Without knowing how old the system is, or what it's software level is, I'm inclined to think the hard drives are the likely suspect. The first thing I'd try would be to do a full backup of the database to RSD and re-load the system software, if only to eliminate the possibility of data...

    Swearing that isn't

    Sorry to be so slow in getting back, but the trunkslammers are chewing up the DSL lines near my workplace. I have no idea what "coño" means literally, I picked it up whilst working in New York City, where I worked with many folks from Spanish-, Arabic-, Russian-, and usw-speaking countries...

    Swearing that isn't

    I love the Spanish word, "coño", a fairly mild expletive, I believe, but satisfying to say when required. jsaxe Mundus Vult Decipi

    Maybe I'm getting old, but "Computer Operator" suggests to me someone with a beard, white lab coat, and smudged glasses, who is covered with paper dust and knows way too much about VMS and chain printers... jsaxe Mundus Vult Decipi

    Misheard Lyrics

    The song is a horrible earworm by England Dan and John Ford Coley, and I still hear the line "I'm not talking about Bolivia" in "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight". The lyrics websites tell me the line is, "I'm not talking 'bout moving in", but I'm danged if I hear it. One more reason for me...

    Free Linux on Windows platform

    There is a Debian-based product called "Damn Small Linux" DSL that I've played with and found to be quite useful. 50 MB fits a bizcard cd or a pen drive. check it out at: www.damnsmalllinux.org jsaxe (Latinists, disregard my sig this time...) Mundus Vult Decipi

    Calls going straight to voice mail

    I once experienced this problem on a newly installed SX2000 which had been in service for a few weeks, turned out to be due to the installer forgetting to enable programmed reboots. jsaxe Mundus Vult Decipi

    Good Book Suggestions

    Since you're driving down, and someone else mentioned Harper Lee, let me suggest anything by T.R. Pearson, especially his first, A Short History of a Small Place. Pearson has been described as one part Southern Gothic, two parts slapstick. jsaxe Mundus Vult Decipi

    Local Idioms (again)

    The term, "borrow pit" is apparently not unique to the American West, there is a Borrow Pit Road near Edmeston, NY in Otsego County. The only house on the road is of a style that dates from the 1830's, and there is a gravel pit nearby. On the other hand, the road is about eight miles east of...

    A Subject Close To Our Hearts

    When I was in grade school in the mid-1950's we still used steel pens and inkwells and learned the Palmer method of handwriting. In spite of all the drilling and practice, it never really took hold with me, but I find that my handwriting is much better when I use a fountain pen. I have an...
