Looking at the time your message was posted:

Good morning Roger,

but unlike me you probably use UTC as date stamp or else you get up very
early in the morning.

That is if you get OS/2 installed. I'm fighting an uneven fight with my
ThinkPad T61. So far it's winning the fight but I have not yet used all
my tricks.

RN> I know.  You may not remember I ran OS/2 since the December 1992

No I don't recall that.

Yes, that's the way it works. It only makes an extra tour of CHKDSK if
it was not shut down properly. OTOH, I have this machine running from an
APC 500 UPS.

Yes I know, but it still works <BG>.

I know, or I'm learning that at the moment. So far all the OS/2 installs
and updates (FixPaks) I have done have worked without a hitch but this
stubborn laptop is using too much of my time.

There's a saying: "When I retire, I will do all the things I've not had
time to do before", the problem is that everything takes so much longer.

I've done that too. It's like an artist replied to a question why he
had'nt aquired a new female to his household after his wife deceased,
he replied "I'm too old to teach up a new maid". This is a true story
that I overheard in the barbershop while waiting for my time.

Yes, I know. If something goes awry in XP it always asks if should
contact M$. Other possible personal traps also appear in various
programs.

RN> Merry Christmas!

Thanks!


Have a nice day,

Holger
