Still kickin'

[Ed_L]

Hi Gang,

It looks like I might be back in business (although I still don't trust it). After about three days of threats with a rather large hammer, my computers seem to have decided to co-operate. I can't believe how many posts I've missed, and I'm not even going to try to catch up! Good to be back.

Glad your back and that the computer is behaving again!

[Ed_L]

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcomes back. At this point, my brain is fried! It still isn't perfect, but it's working.

Welcome back Ed! I've been kind of absent/quiet too - but not because of my computer (thank goodness!!) I was actually pleasantly surprised when I hooked up a Windows XP laptop to my Windows 98 home network and everything worked the first time!! Can't get much luckier than that! -Jeanie

Thanks Jeanie. I also hooked up a network with XP and Win 98. No problem at all getting it to work the first time around for file sharing. But getting connection to my isp was a little more difficult. Then I had problems with things freezing up or just not working right. At the present ime, things seem to working okay.

I'd co-operate with you too, Ed, under those circumstances

Glad you're back with us!

Thanks Carolyn. Maybe I should post that under "TIPS"!

I believe that technique with the hammer is correctly known as "percussive maintenance".

[DJ Dubovsky]

Hey now there's a good one for our new glossary forum. I'm going to have to remember that one since I seem to resort to that technique often.
