  1. water; I think these libraries might be near you.Not completly sure on that.I know you said you didn't use the library .I think you should look at this book even if you don't read any of the stories on the air. http://search.clevnet.org/web2/tramp2.exe/see_record/A0m6r31c.008?server=1home&item=2&item_source=1home The link didn't work exactly right.Select main page & type in "The Dark Descent " It is the one by David Hartweek FallowEarth;I put a copy of "Everything's Eventual" on hold at my library.They will call when it's checked back in.Looks interesting.I think you posted it or philp did.You seem to know about it anyway. I posted several songs .If you want more I could post some.
  2. Kilroy44 ;My phone book has instructions for not accepting calls from people that have their caller id blocked.Yours probably does too.If not I will try to post them. On the unlisted or unpublished numbers reverse lookup won't find them. The phone companies will keep track of obscene or threating calls but I think there is a charge & the will only release info to law enforcement.To keep you from going & kicking the nuisance callers ass . aapak ;You are probably out of luck with a cell phone if netmasta's look up was correct.Again law enforcement could probably find out but wouldn't just to satisfy your curiosity.If your that worried I guess you will have to hire a private detective.
  3. Roco;Thanks for going to the trouble to do the Screen shots.They were clearer than the .doc file.I went & DLed a Word program that read you .doc file fine.I had been intending to do that since this is the third time I had a .doc I couldn't read.I'm still looking into fixing Windows ME Wordpad so it will do this but this one seems to work.It's a freeware program called ABI Word version 2.4.5. I guess your text was too large then.On the cookies :Since I have a windows ME which is a 9X OS I can use DOS.I have a program called Eraser version 5.8 also freeware.With a .bat file & a PIF msdos & a registry setting.I can use the Eraser program before windows starts.I have it erase & overwrite all cookies ,Temporary Internet files, & their index.dat files.Also the index.dat file from History this doesn't erase the 3 day history I keep if I want to check something .I could do that but don't.It overwrites 3 passes I could set it to 7 or if I really want a good overwrite it has a 35 pass option but this takes a while.The 3 pass is quick. For my screen shots I just use MSPaint.If I need them better I work them over with Ifranview. I found a fix for the MSWRD832.CNV in the form of a .zip file.Most sites said there wasn't a fix.This one has 3 newer files than Windows ME installs.Now word pad will open newer .doc files.I will put the file here incase some one with an older OS needs it.
  4. Thanks TheHalf
  5. php ;I think the problem is without MSWord there isn"t a .doc converter in a stock ME.
  6. Roco;were you having trouble with small text too?Before CA3LE worked on it early this morning? The first page is still a little small for me but I can read it.Everything else looks fine. I use IE6.It is on largest for the View text.This works on all but a few sites .I do sometimes get very large text & need to set it down for a specific site. I can't read .doc files so I can't check yours out.I don't have Word.I have been thinking about DLing something like Open Office to see if that will work I just haven't yet.I do have Word pad but that still doesn't let me read the .doc files.When I try I get the error below.If anyone knows about this they can post a solution.
  7. ratchet;The ccleaner didn't help me much.I have Windows ME so this might not help.When I go to explorer.exe in my Windows folder.It is a small file 220K but when I execute it :My Documents come up & thats on my D: drive & thete are othere folders on that drive so I don't know how large My Documents is but I would guess pretty big since it contains a lot of pics. I would guess 150 MB any way.So if it's including your documents it would be large.
  8. php :We have some laws in Texas too but there not enforced very well.& they allow a lot of tinting.So I think anyone could beat the ticket the way they are now.I think most of the time a cop gives a ticket for this is he wants to stop someone to check them out & it's the excuse .If he doesn't find anything else you just get a warning.Check your state & see how really dark they can be I bet it will surprise you.Even the the law is unclear.Kind of leaves it up to the cop.& I see cars with tinting so dark the driver could not be identified.They must not be getting ticketed everyday or they would remove the tinting. tommie :I liked it too maybe off some kind of diesel truck & then machined to fit the Camaro engine ;what ever it is. I meant Roco would like to drive the whole car on the Tornado or Eldorado.But the dropping the whole engine & it's front wheel drive in the Citroen2CV sounds like something Roco would like.I would go with the Oldsmobile 455cid because I'm sure there are more performance parts for it than the Cadillac 500cid. I haven't driven the FWD Eldorado but I have driven a Tornado & there pretty aw some & the one I drove was stock.A friend had a 1967 I think it could have been a 1968 it's been a while. I rebuilt a 500 in a Sedan de Ville though & it is a pretty aw some motor too.The only thing that wasn't stock was it was bored .030 over. with stock compression. One of the strangest combos I ever saw & I took a ride in it too.Was a 1951 Chevy pickup it had an old Cadallic motor of some kind with a factory 3 one barrel intake manifold.The rear end was held to the leaf springs by crossed log chain & it had a cut off bicycle handle bar to shift the automatic tranny.btw a Mexican owned it.
  9. CA3LE;That's back close to normal.Thanks. The other thing I noticed is the button right of the logout button.That lets me Have the show new replies to your posts,etc the old way .Retracts every page change.So if I want it that way I have to change it every time. Btw the way I clear my cookies really erases them on reboot.Some DOS stuff I use.So the testmy cookie is new every time after I reboot.Then I can either clear with IE or my erase program if I want the cache cleared of Temporary Internet Files.
  10. The new layout isn't working to well for me.The main text in the post is ok but the other information is small like online status.date of post who's viewing etc.The first page text is pretty small too.So is the posts below the reply screen. btw;I have the viewtext size set to largest in IE. I'm putting in some screen shots I hope they appear to you as they do to me.
  11. tommie;The super charger on the Camaro is about the biggest one I've seen.The cops might stop that one for vision restriction.Really we are pretty liberal in what we allow but it seems like the Brits are too strict.One think I would like to see them take control of is too dark of tinted windows.I have seen several that there is no way the driver or anyone inside could be identified. Rember the old homemade dunebuggies ? that were basically just a car with most of the body cut off. I bet the wouldn't have got by in England.I knew a guy who drove one the High school spray painted red,white & blue.Then he was pissed when someone ripped off his 8 track tape player. Roco; I definatly would like to take your citroen for a drive.I think you woulsd like to take a drive in an old FWD Tornado or Eldorado.They would be 455cid & 500cid .
  12. Roco ;As far as I know you can have the engine exposed.Certainly the super charger.I wish I could have found the one I saw in a Hot Rod magazine several years ago it wasn't supercharged .So the engine was under the hood the best I can remember.
  13. From cholla
  14. tommie ;I had forgot about some of the crazy bikes I have seen.I think their a death wish. Roco;I found a pic of a V8 Sprite.It's not the one I saw in one of the Hot Rod type magizines several years ago.But I couldn't find that one.I had pics of the engine compartment .This one shows there is a least one more.
  15. Roco ;I'm sure one of the reason he chose the VW engine is here a VW bug engine was easy to get & cheap.This man has passed several years ago but he was probably the coolest dad of any of my freinds.Another car he made one time was he cut a 1963 Dodge in half remove the rear seat section & welded it back togather .So it just had the front bench seat.He always drove a Sunbeam Alpine for his main car. The Austin America was the only British FWD car I have driven.It was pretty new so it seemed fine.I've never even sat in a Citreon but maybe sometime I will.The only Brit car other than front engine RWD I ever was around was a Sunbeam Imp but I never was able to get it running.It was a rear engine vehicle. The main Brit cars I have owned or driven much were Austin Healy Sprites both of them leaked badly at the rear main oil seal.I blame this on bad engine design.The other one my brothers 1958 TR3 a great sports car it will run circles around any Sprite.Except maybe the few I've seen with an American V8 transplanted into them.But if there were no gas stations the TR3 gets around 38MPG highway & would get better if it had the overdrive but this one just has the 4-speed.
  16. A freind of mines dad had a Vespa 400 car .It had a VW engine & transaxle instead of it's stock one.He had a custom paint jod & it looked pretty cool.I wish I had a pic of it but I'm goin to post one of the stock Vespa 400. With the VW engine you had to try not to wheelie the car .& one cool thing it would do except you had to corner carefully.It would run down the street with one of its front tires off.This got some strange looks from people.

  18. tommie;I could do it not logged in but I wanted it have a validation link. For the other it puts it in my stats then if someone looks at it they don't know I posted it as a cached test.Then if they have dial-up I have to explain that I actually didn't get that speed. Then this: Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 703.05 % faster than the average for host (nts-online.net) Next time it will say I'm about 3% of nts-online.net average.No big deal but I like to keep them like they really are. It's funny that the main testmy servers 1 or 2 won't let the cached test work for me anyway but the mirrors will.
  19. Roco;This is the Brit system I wanted to show you.I first ran across itt in an Austin America.But the links show a simular Brit car since the America was only sold in the USA & Canada.In looking I found the Citreon DS had a simular system a lot earlier.I think maintence is why the system didn't catch on.I always though the liquid worked better than gas or air. Hydrolastic suspension is what Austin called their system & hydropneumatic is what Citreon called theirs. http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?ado16drivef.htm http://austin1800.homestead.com/Page16.html I also thought the Austin America had an interesting transmission.The automatic was especially strange to me.Both shared the crankcase as the transmission housing & used common motor oil with the engine.This was the first front wheel only drive I ever worked on.Common now but it sure looked like a strange critter back in 1970.
  20. intense & others;I don't know how to do this & it would probably take some extra software to do it.I think installing a second internal hard drive that is password protected & saves all the data of anything done on the computer.While letting the main hard drive do the work like it always has.Then she could access the second hard drive to see what was going on since only she could access it.A spy hard drive more or less.Just don't let the children know about it.You might even be able to hide the fact it's even in the computer.The children don't even need to know how mom figured out where the surfed.
  21. dlewis23 :That's why I said the tests were too fast.The small test the smart test uses for dial up has this kind of speed burst sometimes.On a larger test it will even out a be slower.But it is not a cached test because what's the point of that.Dial-up can'T do a cached test on the main testmy server.I tried & at one time I could but CA3LE fixed that.I think I can do one on the mirrors or could 6 or 8 months ago.That's the last time I tried. Rom-Dos's dial-up speed is different he had XP & was very close to the CO.He had consistently very fast speeds even with larger tests. On mine I make no claim that mine actually exceed the 53Kbps only that when the test shows faster I'm probably getting 53Kbps.Which is excellent since I'm 26529 feet from the CO according to SBC the telephone company I use.I will see if I can do a cached test at a mirror & post it but I will indicate that's what it is. tommie;I had some old tests that were fast also but I don't know if they may have been cached or partly cached by the time I learned how to do a cached test correctly it produced a lot faster results. Any way I may add some to this just to let y'all have a look. This is a cached test from one of your mirror sites dlewis23 & used only for an example.I hate to do them because the mess up my stats. :::..

  23. maybe "Freaker's Ball" by Dr.Hook.
  24. dlewis23 ;That must depend on the computer.I tried mine without RAM one time.It turned on but is was slow.very slow.
  25. RXDriv3r ;You could try with no RAM installed.The PC should run just very slow.If it doesn't then probably is the mother board. That sounds bad one of the major chips on the board.It's hard to say what kind of chip with no more than that.Most motherboards have several flat black square chips.
