Its nice to have a boss who seems to think everything I say is reasonable...
We've got a Nor'easter on the way so I suggested that if I was at work I'd just
be worrying about getting home all day so I might as well work from home.
So here I am sitting in the basement next to the toasty warm woodstove.
My HP nw8000 connects nicely to the wireless network down here which surprised
me a bit.
MB content: My wife took the 190D to work today, I'll swap with her at lunch so
she can have the 4wd to get home. For some reason when she tries to start the
car the starter lets go before the car starts but it never does that to me. I
suspect she doesn't keep her foot on the throttle like she says she does. I
need to actually be in the car with her one of these days to find out.

Thanks Tom - I have been getting that feeling. The only real issue I have
at the moment is that a recently installed system cleaner [XP Repair Pro
2007] has caused Outlook to crash every time there is mail to download or
send. The test settings works great and that test settings email is fine to
both send and receive, the calendar and contacts works great, but I just
can't send or receive regular emails. I do download a 'shell' that includes
an extra several dozen lines of stuff, then puts the 'email' at the wrong
end of the queue, and crashes Outlook. Every time. If there are no emails
going out or coming in everything is fine with a 'send / receive' and it
does not crash. I did a backup prior to running the program, but restore
doesn't help. I have reinstalled Office twice and done 'detect and repair'
about 5 times. Next attempt will be to install on the other hard drive just
to see if that will help. XP Repair Pro 2007 folks say they don't
understand it either and are working on the problem, but no luck yet. I
have had to go to an old version of Outlook Express to get email, and it
does not integrate the calendar sharing function that I used a lot. Quite
frustrating.
Lee - I appreciate your suggestions >>"For e-mail, contacts and scheduling,
take a look at Kontact, should be
installed by default on KDE-based distros like Mepis and Kubuntu.<< I
should have mentioned I am a frequent but casual user. I have not heard of
the programs you mention. Will Kontact let me share a calendar with a big
corporate MS Office user?
Thanks guys - BillR

take awhile to pay for itself with the better MPG, but I like it.
