Windoze 8 doesn't have a Program List like XP - 7 or10.
There is an add-on  Start8 that will add make the Windoze 8 Start Button 
look

like XP, 7, 10.
Win Key+E will open File Explorer i.e. My Computer
Win Key+R will open the Run Box
Win Key+D will Minimize an Open Window to the Task Bar
Win Key+ Pause will open System
Alt Key will show the Menu Bar in Most Windows Programs
Alt Key + F4 will close an Open Window if the Desktop is showing it will 
bring up

the Shutdown Menu.

Only one question.
Does the car with this engine come equipped with a folding bicycle in the
trunk to serve as the "limp home mode" when one tiny computer component
fails and it goes into catastrophic failure?

It does have heaters, however, we do not use them because of the amount
of propane they use. The first November we were here, I set them to keep

Newer firefoxes have no menu visible by default.  I think if you
Alt-click somewhere on the page the menu will temporarily appear
and you can use "View > Toolbar > Menu" to make it stay.

Re: [MBZ] Window switch fix

Put it in a small plastic bag when you take it apart so if stuff goes 
flying it is contained.  If you take it apart carefully you won't get 
stuff flying around, there are some little springs in there about 1/4" 
long so they don't have much travel but will boing out if you aren't 
careful.  Just pry the cover off, there are some little rockers and such 
in there that the springs push on.  I'll send you some pics off list

Re: [MBZ] OT Winders question

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Here’s an interesting Windows shortcut I just learned:

If you type a domain name in the address field of a browser, say “CNN”, and 
then press “Enter” and “CTRL” at the same time, it will complete the URL making 
it “www.CNN.com”.

Nifty.

Works on Macs, too.  “Enter” and “⌘”.

Dunno. The other day Angie had finally had enough of Winders 10 and its 
incessant "Don't Turn off your Computer" update nonsense. Its got Lubuntu Linux 
now and I couldn't be happier. 
Lubuntu is a lightweight distribution which works well on older hardware plus 
since its in the Ubuntu family its easy to use, finds and supports most 
hardware and the specialty keys on the laptop.
It must be terribly annoying when you're about to get on a plane or something 
and Windows has to update "Right now".

Re: [MBZ] For MG

[MG via Mercedes]

I was wrong. Just looked it all up and there is one still left in 
the company as a floating museum. They had 4 engines coupled to 
each screw so 8 engines all together and they were two stroke 
Detroits with blowers so no wonder they sounded so good.


I seem to remember the engineer saying that they run 4. That's 
probably why 4 engines stick in my mind.


MG via Mercedes wrote:

Once rode on one of the slightly larger ones LCI(L) that ran 4 big 
diesel engines hooked to two screws. There were originally 5 or 6 of 
these I believe, that were converted and saw service for a long time as 
the New York Circle liners that carried tourists around the city. I 
spent most of the ride in the engine room talking with the guys down 
there and listening to the engines. This was a 12th grade school trip. 
Drove the teachers crazy because they couldn't find me. Probably long 
gone by now.

Re: [MBZ] For MG

[MG via Mercedes]

that's a small one only had something like 4 crew members I 
believe. Once rode on one of the slightly larger ones LCI(L) that 
ran 4 big diesel engines hooked to two screws. There were 
originally 5 or 6 of these I believe, that were converted and saw 
service for a long time as the New York Circle liners that 
carried tourists around the city. I spent most of the ride in the 
engine room talking with the guys down there and listening to the 
engines. This was a 12th grade school trip. Drove the teachers 
crazy because they couldn't find me. Probably long gone by now.

It was really fun knowing somebody who had a Roller, the stories made my

That said when the car was running and driving (rare) it was a glorious event.

Re: [MBZ] Please Talk me out of this one - -'78 Silver Wraith RR on BAT

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

The windshield washers are not currently working and the reservoir is 
leaking.[that will cost $3k to replace the washer flood bottle]


Hi, in the driving video, Is that the break fluid light that is lit on 
the dashboard?  [the breaks is braked]


Does it come with the moutons included?  [No but I'll throw in some 
Poupons, grey of course]


Andrew would need a parrot to ride on his shoulder in his gadabouts DC, 
then everyone would think he is some rich Potentate or the colonial 
dictator of some small African country.  He would also need a driver 
which would cost him even more as he would have to pay a Living Wage and 
all the benefits and such.


I was talking with this guy at C&C last week who had the 1914 Roller, it 
was WAY cool.  I mentioned I had seen this other one last year, it was a 
white roadster streamliner sort of thing from the 30s or so, and he said 
that was his too!  Not sure what disease this guy has, but he was pretty 
cool and very friendly.

Not exactly a picture of the garage, but last sunday the garage at #1
Daughter's house had no cars inside, and all 4 outside have antique

on them.  1 time fee, then free as long as you own the car.  Nice!

I would not wish one of those abortions on my worst enemy.  You must not know 
much about RRs - chassis hydraulics and brakes alone can cost you better than 
the finest 300TD you could find.  And there’s little or no aftermarket 
suppliers for parts, either.

I can’t think of a parallel to the phrase about there not being a cheap 
Mercedes - a RR would be far over the top of that.

You're supposed to talk me out of it.  Tell me instead about the insane
repair and maintenance costs and low re=sale value.

You need that to drive to work and back.   in DC, people will think you 
are "somebody" and clear the path for you.   It is not even silver.  
Looks more like brown wraith.

Even Davide in OZ has a roller.  Why don't you?

Re: [MBZ] 240D offer

If the car is “like new” then I think that the right buyer might pay 7k even 
with that mileage.
