disturbed ;I haven't studied the economics like you have but I know the USA has the largest national debt.This supports what I have said before.The USA is the poorest country on Earth.So why does everyone always have their handout to the USA for money,physical help during disaster.sometimes military help ,etc.Why do so many want to imigrate here I guess to help us pay the debt. If the USA does owe it all to the Rockefellers the solution is simple burn all the Rockefellers at the stake .They are in the USA ;no heirs; debt eliminated .Problem solved. Personally I like some political debate between the tech & internet topics.Don't mind some religious discussion either.If a topic flames then it is removed.

I agree with ArcticWolf on the BIOS.This is your PC settings before it loads Windows or whatever OS you have. So bascally does your BIOS or system configuration show your IDE HD ? This should have all HD's in the list:as well as your CD/ROM,DVD,& Floppy if you have all of these.If it doesn't there should be a setting to add the IDE HD.

The only defense for Bush I can think of he doesn't appear to be smart enough.But the stupid could be an act.It's hard to beleive a conspiracy by someone you consider stupid. I do love to stir up the debate. I do want to add the victims of 911 including the soldiers killed or wounded in Iraq have my sincere sympathy. Btw:I thought I recognized the commondreams site.Here is another link. http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0606-29.htm The topic it was in has been removed.

I read the article very informative.The first link is mostly what I read.I have dial-up so I didn't check the videos available.Same reason I didn't do the DL of the second link.The third one had a lot of links What I'm putting from here is MY OPINION.The information in the link just confirms what I already beleived.The Bush administration orchestrated the 911 disaster. Why?To make Americans mad enough to accept a war against Iraq.Even when most of the terrorists were Saudi Arabians.This only makes some difference since they were just there to support it was a terrorist attack. I think the real agenda was Bush & Saudi Arabia wanted to get rid of Sadam.Saudi Arabia feared Sadam might have eventually taken over the Middle East.The Bush family has major money tied up in Saudi oil. So Bush was looking out for his business not Americas.He or his business advisors realized this would drive up the price of oil.Making petroleum companies a lot of money. Chaney the vice-president was involved with Haliburton which has made a lot of money from the war.So have other munitions companies. War is big business & always stimulates the economy at taxpayer expense. Bush places no value on the lives of average Americans or the soldiers he sends into war.You will note his daughters are not in the military much less in Iraq. I sure Bushes service record has been cleaned up .So it no longer shows him not really serving.Basically being AWOL .This should have stopped him from even being President. Then he made sure he was elected the first time even if it took being appointed by the Supreme Court instead of really elected.If he was able to do this when he wasn't even President what was he able to do by the second election.Probably able to fix it a lot better. I think Gore backed down on the election because his & his families life was threatened. I hope posting this doesn't have the feds busting down my door.

Guess I'll get on my soap box some more.Unless someone wants to say "Damn cholla get off your soap box" I also beleive population control would be good for the USA .I would like to see us take it down to about 20 million people.Think about what this would do to the petroleum dependence on other countries. Some wouldn't think this would be enough to protect the USA but new missle silos,some Star wars satellites & being willing to use them we could defend the USA. I still think it's crazy that the USA has spent trillions on building nuclear weapons but only used 2 bombs in war.Both in the same war & almost at the same time.Then the USA demolishs missle silos.What a waste.This is the government which seems to act independently of what the majority of citizens want.When we the people get tired enough of it I guess there will be the Second American Revolution.

As I have posted before I beleive in protectionism & would eliminate all outsourcing.I would stop all imagration to the USA.In other words put a "No Vacancy" sign on the Statue of Liberty.If people in other countries want their country like the USA let them fight & build their country like my ancestors did in the USA.The reason the USA is like it is is because my ancestors gave sweat & blood to make it this way. I think they are rolling over in their graves at the way the USA is becoming.Sold out by big business & the government for money.

Indestructable;I liked the infinite pie attack one.Must be the Three Stooges fan in me. ArcticWolf;I found what Swimmer did Maxtor is now the support for Quantum.I didn't find your exact model though.Some were close so you might check.

Yeah it's cool to see if members can get the old hardware fired up again. EWO ;do you have this online?

This MS article may help.It also links to how to repair IE the instructions are for IE5 but will work for IE6. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=216583 Basically you use your Add/Remove in Control Panel .Select Remove for your current version of IE.It will give you the option to repair it.Select to repair IE. If there is an admistrator password & you are not the administrator you can be denied access to Internet Options.

Van ;Thats plenty of send window for my dial-up to receive since my rwin is set at 11680.I have Windows ME so this is a MSS based rwin.

Van this is from my dialup to the second test.I let it load 1.71 MB & it was pretty stable at 4.38KB/sec

FaT_PHiL;I can post a zip file in Additional Options when posting.Do you have zip file in your additional option list?The reason I ask is I don't remember if it was an option before I was made a mod. If you do since you have already looked up the information can you make a zip file?If you can just post it for CaptainSauce .

alan8187;It's possible its a bad power cord. Or when you moved your PC it might have pulled on the terminals where the power cord plugs into the power supply.Unplug the power cord & see if these feel loose.I don't know your level of technecal ability & much more might get you fried if you don't know what you are doing.

InfiniteZero ;I have Windows ME & have had 98SE.I haven't had XP but I have read several things about it. In the Windows XP you loaded in the Windows folder is their an Options.CABS or Install file ?In Windows ME this is where you find the windows loaded drivers.If you have these folders & they have driver files in them or if you can find driver file elsewhere in Windows.This is where you want to go with the have disk. Like in have disk location: C:WindowsOptionsCABS or C:WindowsInf. To see these files you may have to open C:Windows select the tools pulldown Folder Options View then check something show hidden files & folders then uncheck hide file extensions. I hope this helps like I said there are others with XP that should be more help.The 3 G partition seems a little small for XP but if you can run it with other software you will load good. Just a question how much of the 33 G partition is used?

VanBuren ;Hers the results from dial-up in Texas.I did the testmy DL to your mirror also.Pretty close. :::..

EWO;The VIC20 &C-64 is about as far as i remember except for pictures of the old punch card systems.I did work for a place that had the big tape reels in the main offices .I worked at their sales location but ocassionally took stuff to the main office so I saw their big air conditioned computer room.This was around 1979.Like I said I have 2 C-64 still alive but no modem.I think CA3LE's VIC20 is still alive too.But theres no way these could login to testmy.CA3LE can correct me if I'm wrong.Still it would be interesting to see the oldest & smallest CPU computers that could login.

ArcticWolf ;It still is a lot faster than my dial-up.

ArcticWolf; I'm deleting this topic as requested.Even if it's not a bad topic. I guess I can't delete from this part of the forum.So I will leave it to a mod that can.cholla

richcornucopia ;Probably would be best to go with the manufacturers replacement this time.If it continues to be a problem there are some automotive barbed fittings made for fuel lines.Automotive parts stores do not have the best selection of these.But might if you have a good one,Otherwise try a business that makes custom hoses like for air conditioners or hydraulic lines. Another possibility there are several sizes of PVC pipe with some of it & the cement for PVC pipe you might be able to repair the old one.

What he needs is a picture of a woman with a big butt.

ArcticWolf ;I think you have the lowest one so far that is actually currently online. The VIC20 is the least but it's not online.Like I posted there is supposed to be a club that uses the Commodore 64& the VIC20 is a Commodore just a couple of years older .But they have to use only text & communicate in BASIC. It would be interesting to see the smallest one that could use the internet.Maybe one that could do the testmy DL&UL test.

May be some of these: in run type cmd for XP or command for 98 or ME At the prompt type one of the following: ipconfig ? netstat ? nbtstat winipcfg Then type the exact command you want.

wyantm06 ;I don't know about everyone else but I don't have enough information about what your asking.So your internet what???

RTB ;What OS is on it now.Could you connect with that one?It would be interesting to see what speed it would test at even with a fast connection.Do you think it would load XP.I haven't checked but would it meet the minimum specs for XP? Now for an update on VIC20 & Commodore 64.The Commodore 64 is a little better but not much.Here are the specs: Modem. The C64 modem allowed connection to the internet as it was then and there is even a website hosted on a C64 today. All be it a simple text one.

I still have a couple of working Commodore 64's but no modem for them.They did make one & I think there is a club that uses this type of computer "online".I think it goes through Telnet.I really haven't investigated it much further.The VIC20 & Commodore 64 are pretty well the same computer if I'm correct & if wrong you can correct me.My favorite game for this computer is "Death Sword"I have an original copy of this game in the box on a 5.25 floppy.I also have the disk drive & the old cassette drive but nothing for the cassette. If ArticWolf has his PC online he is the lowest yet. Unless RTB has this online:
