Yeah, I'd not be entirely surprised if it were to happen again
and my not be able to see your reply.

But Windows based software is one thing if anything at all, 
it's quite porous and leaky and subject to invasion
and subversion my malicious activities.

Example being that after a mere hours efforts I
was able to download this from you but not your posts
of yesterday. 

Sure am glad I dumped that OS as it acts as if it has got it's own mind.

 MK> Silly people eh?

Oh don't be silly you cynic, the software dunnit.
I for one don't find that the least bit hard to believe.

You know Maurice as I'm in such robust good health here
instead of spending all my time trying to keep my mind
I think perhaps wasting my time here on the BBS trying
to outwit retarded software is wasted effort.

There's a default one???
I was looking at source disk 1 yesterday but having just returned
from running a marathon and the ironman competition was tired 
so didn't get far into it.

Need some days rest.
Can't fight software with mind of own any longer as
it threatens my serenity and health.

Plenty of leakage above the shoulders here at my end <g>

May never see any reply you may or may not post to me as I
am at my wits end in a manner of speaking<g>

I need t figure out how to automate it by seting it into a a file
at boot but that's trivial.
Big deal I have to remember to ./fire1 to execute after a reboot.
Who reboots anyway?
I understand Windows being so advanced has complicated
software to facilitate unattended rebooting when something goes
astray.

I'm jealous as nothing ever seems to go wrong here and I don't get to
reboot like the Windows folks. Some people have all the luck.

Yeah, now that you mention it there's a bone I want to pick with you.
What were you thinking handing me the idea to use the latest
Mplayer?
It installed easily enough but resists adding codecs as I'm
stupid.

The old mangled mplayer didn't do this to me and I
slammed every imaginable codec into it and everything played.

A bit under the weather at the moment can you share
how to unlock the codec library so it's there accepting a 
copy to it?
Just in case the unlikely occurs and I get to see your response?

RE: drinking coffee and rest.

 MK> Good idea.  I did that the last couple of days, or at least the nights,

Might have been better had actually done it.
can;t even seem to get a hot cup of coffee down now
due to how longit takes to write this simple post.

Some people have no point of reference to what it is I am 
talking about.

 MK> and feeling much better now.  Going to redo a few things to make sure
 MK> everything is in sync.  Looks good so far.

Glad you are rested and feeling better.
I've another BBS I could use but whayt's the point?
Fidotel, Docs Place, they'd just be next.

It's the new compassionate wave sweeping the country.
