Hi Jean,

JP>	Continental land masses have a lot to do with weather. We are fed
JP>Siberian air masses.

Yes, I know and as Alan pointed out we have the warm Gulf Stream passing
by western Europe and that affects the climate but as we have seen
lately even middle and south Europe have got cold air and snow now.

That is because those land masses are quite some distance from the Gulf
Stream.

JP>That very small transistor was removed and I replaced it with a
JP>pigtail one. The Compaq has been running faultlessly since, two
JP>years ago. It is not much of a machine, 8 year old and with a 950
JP>CPU, but it does nicely for U'u.

Yes, I do remember you telling about the faulty transistor and that you
replaced it.

My aversion against Compaq stems from the time I professionally did
computer service on various makes. Trying to add something to a Compaq
usually failed when it wasn't made by Compaq.

JP>	I added a 5-port USB 2.0 card, a 10/100 Ethernet card, changed the
JP>vid-card, added an IDE 1 slave that runs U'u, a second CD device, as
JP>you see, not much original parts but it runs.

I've also got a computer that I got from my youngest daughter when she
bought a new one. This one will receive OS/2, Win98SE and Ubuntu 7.10
that I received from Alan. It has a 433 MHz Celeron and 512 Mb RAM and
should run all three nicely.

I have to install OS/2 first and ran into a difficulty when the install
fails with the 3:rd install diskette instead of giving over to the CD.
I must exchange some driver in that duskette before it starts working.

CU L8ER,

Holger
