Re: [CGUYS] Rip Van Winkle
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.

Re: [CGUYS] Dental Tools
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. Sandra Hoar wrote: Some large pharmacies have a little dental section with a few tools.

Re: [CGUYS] staying on-topic
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.
