First word, from Don:
Lisa and I have decided that, before you go any further,
you should check out this cool link:
http://www.internetforpeace.org/manifesto.cfm
---
We had our home inspected, as a necessary requisite to
getting an appraisal. I guess you'd have to say our
home failed the inspection. The pier-and-beam foundations
are failing/settling because the ground won't drain properly
and it's been a very wet year so far. Even if we jacked up
the house to shim/reset the piers, sooner or later we're
going to have another very wet spell and the problem will
just start all over. The inspector literally suggested
we tear it down and start over, landscaping the property
for proper drainage before building a new house or
bringing in a manufactured home.
Now we're not sure what we'll do but our most probable
alternative will be to purchase another home and we've
been driving around the village looking for 'For Sale'
signs. We couldn't have chosen a better time to
purchase another home; the real estate market is 'in
the toilet' right now so prices are good. Of course
that also means our prospects for selling this place
aren't at all good but that's what my sister wants
and she owns half of it. If nothing else, it will
end our long-standing argument over selling the
place.
---
There hasn't been much activity on our email list
over the last couple of weeks but Sandy did mention
she's discovered that some of her ancestors fought
on the American side in the Revolutionary war.
I've another friend whose ancestors were Hessian
mercenaries who fought on the British side in that
war. Does that make me a balanced personality? :)
I'm fairly certain that none of my Scottish, Irish,
German or Cherokee ancestors fought in that
particular war but my paternal grandfather fought
in WWI and my dad fought in WWII and Korea. Me,
I somehow missed being sent to Viet Nam and spent
most of my enlistment in Germany where I didn't do
any fighting at all, thank goodness. At the time
we American soldiers referred to aerosol under-arm
deodorant as a 'German shower' and the German troops,
with whom I occasionally hung out in the Gasthaus
(essentially a local walk-in restaurant that also
sold beer) in Fischbach, called their aerosol spray
deodorant an 'American shower'. We occasionally
argued over who was buying the next round of beer
but it was the sort of argument where the winner
buys.
So here it is some 40 years later and while I no
longer drink alcohol or smoke tobacco (or anything
else for that matter), I'm still hanging out in
smoky beer joints (playing my guitar). I suppose
I should ponder on what that says about me but
I'm not prepared to worry about it now.
See you next time.
Don

A secretary who had gotten a PC for word processing had
periodic failures. The disks would work for days, but
after a couple of weeks would fail. They would be recovered
by IBM (to an extent) but after a couple of weeks the cycle
would repeat.
At one point a service tech came out to the site to repair
it, suspecting damage in transit.
He recovered what he could, cleaned and aligned the drive
(for the 400th time) and gave it a clean bill of health
and the secretary in question put the disk in the envelope,
stuck it to her wall with her magnet.
Of course this sounds stupid to us, but how many
secretaries are familiar with mass storage techniques?
A friend of mine fixed his mother's TV by connecting

"How far away is the TV station?"
"From here? About 20 miles."
"You mean that picture can travel 20 miles to get to the
antenna, but it can't go another 3 inches to get to the TV?"
How do you explain that (in less than four years)?

The instructor gave the class step-by-step instructions

When each student had all their program steps keyed in,
he told the class to type RUN and enter. A lady in the
back of the class said, 'It didn't work'. The instructor
once again told her to simply type RUN and enter. It
still didn't work. So the instructor walked back to see
what the problem was. She had typed 'are you in'.

Last word, from Lisa:
Some of our adventures are of dubious value and
don't really deserve the name. Sometimes when
we go through a tough time, we call it an
'adventure' and let it go at that. Such is
the case right now. I lost my dog, she died
of...old age, basically. Fortunately we had
been somewhat prepared when last year the vet
reminded us on more than one occasion that she
had passed the 'old' mark and was approaching
'ancient' for her size and type. Nevertheless,
most of you know how it is to lose an old and
beloved dog.
Years ago I became enchanted with vector drawing
and did a series of little portraits of CeeCee
as a puppy and put them together as a collage.
It's on our website, here;
http://www.don-guitar.com/puppy.html
It's sitting on my desktop now, reminding me
of the best parts of her. She was pretty, attentive,
obedient and good-natured, in fact the only really
good dog I ever had. Now it will be interesting
to see how long it takes to stop hearing her
in the next room, vaccuuming the floor.
Editor's note: CeeCee was constantly checking the kitchen
floor for crumbs and we could hear her snuffling. We
referred to this behavior as 'vaccuuming'.
'Til next time,
Lisa

The most important people on the Internet, for you and
I as computer users, are software developers. The world's
coolest computer, without software, is like a car without
fuel. It might look great, but what can it do?
It doesn't matter who produces the software you love
and use regularly, the developers of that software
need and deserve your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can
get without cost on the Internet. There can be hidden
costs for the unwary. Use a 'throw away' email address to
register, and be constantly on guard against giving away
personal information. Use a firewall, and provide only
the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
The Internet: A Weapon of Mass Construction.
