What is a 'hard reset'?


When you have to power off your PC because it doesn't respond to
keyboard or mouse input.


I can't remember the last time I had to do that on XP. It was not
uncommon on W/98 but usually when you were screwing with new hardware
and drivers.
I just loaded a W/98 machine Saturday. I had one of those.
It turned out to be a bad, on board LAN adapter.
I just plugged in a card and epoxied a blank RJ45 in the board hole so
I would not forget ... again. ;-)
It is my new MP3 player.

BTW if someone finds a newer technology MP3 player that will run from
my Seeburg wall box I'm listening.
It needs to run from a num pad.


Don't know about that, but I bet there is a 4 dollar and 99 cent MP3
player on Amazon that will run, *despite* your Seeburg Wall Box... I
know you guys love to see who can be the biggest Luddite, but there is a
point where it isn't much more than folly.. Not that there is anything
wrong with that..
