Have you tried Norton NDD? It fixes lots of stuff CHKDSK and ScanDisk
can't.
No. I don't have anything Norton. For some reason, from many years ago,
I
got a bad taste in my mouth from Norton. Don't remember the details.

Probably that lousy anti-virus software or something that happened
when Symantec took over. When it was Peter Norton, they did some great
things with disk recovery software. I have taken "broken" drives out
of the trash and fixed them with NDD.

They had an excellent backup software product, too. It was an un-raped
version of the piece 'o **** that came with Windows back in the day. It
was so good, they discontinued it.


Just another example of what happens when a BIG corporation takes over
another company. Almost invariably, the smaller company's product line is
examined by the bigger company's MBAs and then turned into crap.


Actually, it was the other way around.

And this is my "retirement job"!

Just keep in mind that Harry's probably managed *two* large city networks
(LA and NYC, for example), with at least 100 servers, and well over 5000+
desktops.
I rode in a lobster boat a few times... Does that count for anything?

Only if you *owned* it.

I saw a Lobster Boat, and wondered what it would be like to own one.
Does that count?

Apparently it makes you a seasoned captain.;)

Why? Need a place to sleep?

I have a feeling the closest you get to deep water is during your weekly
sheep dip.
I'm glad for you.

So, where in New Haven do you live...

Not even close, Dopey. Go play in traffic.

Uh-huh.

I just posted a picture of me sailing PAST New Haven a few years ago, "over
there". *I don't live in New Haven or even particularly close. I don't keep my
boats there either.

It's been a pretty rough day for you here in rec.boats. Why don't you go try to
get some sleep.- Hide quoted text -

I have Windows 98SE on an older laptop that I use for a midi interface and
sequencer for the keyboards. It runs fine, but I haven't used it on the
'Net for a long time. The other computers, (this one on the boat) and my HP
both run XP.

I am no computer guru, but XP Pro has been the most stable Microsoft OS
since Windows 3.1, in my experience.

I run XP Pro on my primary laptop because it came that way but all of
my other machines run Win2K. I've probably overlooked a few but there
are only two things about XP that I perceive to be an improvement:
The image/slideshow viewer, and the network "repair" function.

Vista? Who needs it. Maybe after SP3 or so.

If your usage doesn't change, why should you buy new software?.

Exactly. It's like buying a new car because the style changed.

Some of us here even own boats.

Imagine that.
