And sometimes management is so worried about hurting the bottom
line they figure if it worked last year it will work this year.

Guess that's why my computer is still running Windows 98, well at
least it's SE! I forget how much memory it has, maybe 64MB? I know
when I was given an old parallel port scanner it just about crashes
every time I try to scan in one page.

And this is at a company that was just bought out by another for
$18 billion dollars. Now with the new debt from the merger it will
be even longer to get an up grade.

Not sure if this is a good report or not.

Re: [CGUYS] Dental Tools

2007-09-03 Thread Ken Hansen

Another option is to ask your dentist if he or she has any old
tools they could give you. Helps if the dentist is a bit on the
older side! That's where I got a few tools a few years back, was
to get some more but he passed on before my next visit.

Some large pharmacies have a little dental section

also have something similar.

Amiga! I thought the VIC 20 was the top of the list.

Just wish my Internet Provider would listen to me a
support that system.

Eric S. Sande wrote:



Beg to differ.  Tom runs this list.  The focus has always been on solving
people's computer problems, with general discussion about why an Amiga
is superior to a Mac or PC.  And why gamers are so much more hip and
elite than mere casual users.
