I notice you reference problems with the server relatively often. I would be curious to know why you believe Dan's server is messing up? I have not experienced any failures in more than a year and back then it was repeating messages. I save all emails from the system and from what I see by looking at the page, I receive all emails at all times on multiple addresses. Everything that posts to the system, slow or not, I get at my email addresses. Hi John, I addressed this problem in a recent post. I've been keeping in contact with Dan about this problem for years now. He has problems with SPAM clogging up the list server on a regular basis, and then for whatever reason, the server starts dropping a few registered email addresses here and there from its subscriber database. So it only affects some list members, and not others. I've just been a watchdog for Dan over the years, and am usually the 1st to notify him when I don't see mail coming into my Hotmail account that's showing up in the archives. I haven't really discussed the specifics of the problem with Dan, but I suspect the server software somehow targets mail from list subscribers with Hotmail and Yahoo email addresses in particular as being SPAM amongst the zillions of real SPAM addresses from those services. I usually get a thanks from him every time I send him a notice, and the same explanation about SPAM having put a cog in the wheels of the server. Hes been meaning to set up new software for some time. But with the number of posts to the list per day/week having dropped to an all time low at this point, maybe its just not worth it.

Today a mate has given me what was his Mums 70CT ;-) It currently has the Toshiba 95B on there and I wondered what the panel suggests would be the best (Windows) OS for this model please (I guess I can take the upper 16M out of the 50 and put it in the 16M 70?). Hi David and thanks for your reply, Really too slow to run much more than Windows 98SE, which is what I'd recommend. Very stable, runs decently, but try to up it to 32MB RAM total. Understood. I've just fired up the 50CT and that is also on 98SE as you suggest. I can't remember where I got the extra (not detected directly by 98) drivers from though? Also, you may want to look into using only IE5.5 (somewhat faster than IE 6), or Opera for the web browser Ok, understood. Also, try not to install to many apps - eg Virus scanners, etc. I'd go with AVG Free or a light McAfee VScan 4.51 + ZoneAlarm 2.6 era for the protection. Funnily I have ZA 3.1.395 on the 50CT and would usually use Avast! (is AVG lighter)? Also, 98Lite is a program to consider if you really want to trim it down some more. Erm, I think I'm ok with the extras .. sometimes the daughter might like to play solitaire in the car ;-) --- Anything higher than 98SE is really too much for 32MB of ram and the slower L70 processor, IMO. For Win2k, I'd really have to recommend at least a 64MB L110 at the very minimum. Ok .. thanks .. Anyways, that's really all that these machines were designed for, and the limited RAM really hinders the use of much more. CPU speeds aren't that great, even if overclocked, so don't stick too much on them and they'll run just fine. Cheers. Like I said I used to use the 50CT (32M) with 98SE and for talking (serial) to my Garmin GPS V. Now I have the extra disk space I can run a later copy of the Euro Maps and can take the L70 when we go motorcycle camping for updating the maps and photos from the digicam again ;-) Both machines came with their correct OS's installed on them (Tosh 95 / 98) but I was never given the disks for them. Would anyone have an ISO of one of the real Tosh 98 they could point me to please or I did have a PCMCIA WiFi card I used with the 50CT but can't find it atm. I believe they have to be 5V cards and I wondered if there was a 'preferred' card as used by those who know and does it support WPA please? Same with a std Ethernet card (compatibility not WPA)? ;-) All the best .. and thanks very much again David .. T i m (in the UK if it makes any difference) p.s. I notice eBay is pretty quiet Libretto wise?

[LIB] 95 98 or ME on a 70CT please?
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 21:52:37 + From: T i m <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 95 98 or ME on a 70CT please? Hi all, Long time no type, I used to use my little 50CT primarily with my Garmin GPS V but the latest Mapsource u/g I bought just wouldn't fit on. I investigated the hhd u/g path and even got a suitably thin 2G drive but it was too noisy. ;-( Today a mate has given me what was his Mums 70CT ;-) It currently has the Toshiba 95B on there and I wondered what the panel suggests would be the best (Windows) OS for this model please (I guess I can take the upper 16M out of the 50 and put it in the 16M 70?). I actually like ME as it has the best hardware database of the series. Can you get all the drivers for ME though please and are there any immediate disadvantages to using ME over 95/98? All the best .. T i m
