OK OK was that an apology or what.
For my part I am sorry if my two postings were overlong (I tried hard to make them cohere.
But I thought that the Jewish comments it stirred up were worth reading IMHO anyway
Well All Right lets get on:-

A great Newsgroup thread now 20 postings long on "Gord's Worst Songs" starts at:-

Ed Mullen freshly back from Alaska gave a link to his vacation picture's page in a thread entitled "Believe it or not"

and highlighting his impersonation of Sir Sean Connery on the Titanic:-
In some haste as so far today my computer experience is frustrating
On my main computer I recently reinstalled Windows 98 ( this being pending the completion (still subject to problems) of a
new desktop that will thankfully be Windows XP equipped). This was for the umpteenth time and something that was hitherto
relatively trouble free but just to keep me on my toes this time it contrived to remove nearly all the links to the installed
programmes and several drivers. The latter is not really a problem just a nuisance but the former was plain annoying so I
started reloading the software.
All was OK until I faced the daunting prospect of reinstalling the ridiculous HP printer/scanner/copier stuff.
not only does it unreasonably demand 2 whopping gigabytes of free space hard to come by on a 5 gig hard drive (one reason
for building a new PC with a new 120 gig HD) but no matter what I seem to do I repeatedly get an unhelpful unsuccessful
installation message.. go away and boil your head.The galling thing is that I need to get the printer working in order to
print out a list of installed program(me)s on Susan's PC which has its own foibles (I had to try to reinstall Windows on hers
after just about anything we did on it resulted in a system lock up. Now after at least 16 attempts to reinstall Windows 98
the silly thing refuses to boot to the full windows without suffering a fatal error but it will open in safe mode (no
drivers) so at least I can still see the list of progam(me)s that were installed and verify that no files have been lost.

as far as chat goes. Computers don't you just love them??
Now the commercial:-
We had a good session last week with a new chatter Sharron "Minnesotan" Mouse who I was very pleased to note had installed
mIRC and is almost a Canadian it seems. I still cannot get the dilexnet applet to open on my PC yet it does on an XP equipped
machine.I have reported the problem on the dilexnet message board. But it means a further delay in rewriting my chat page into
a better tutorial complete with screenshots to tell you after you get in the room what the room will look like.
I can though emphasize that if you are using mIRC then you will se the mIrC logo in the upper left hand corner
see the screenshot at:-
OK that is enough for this week's we(blog)
