Roco

Thanks Reso , me., being a bitr of a newbie , and also from the UK, I kinda worry about these things, love the term "derailed" being a ex steam engineer.

aah cholla , the identitity of Shakespeare has finaly been resolved, yeah, it wasn't you. :haha: :haha:

Hey my good buddy Cholla, I was only Kidding, sorry if my Brit humour is misunderstood.,I just love talking about cars, although we have allways had different types in the UK( smaller) , still remember seeing the American cars in action at Santa pod UK, back on the 70 's., hey, I am older than you by far, yes I read your post LOL, but was it powered by Electrickery ?, LOL I didn't reply coz I am a bit of a newbie, and didn't want to upset CA3BLE, as I semed to have caused the derailment of the the banner topic . Best Regards Roco UK

Oh jeez, Cholla my buddy not you 2, I feel honor bound to resign. but that was rather good I must say. BWTF has that got to do with mangles/ wringers/ Banners ust hope you voted man, or I will never post about cars again . well not for a week at least P,s. petrol nearly $8 00 a gallon in UK, but our galon is bigger than yours, nah. nah nah,

hi Stank_Ho, jeez man, cant you change your name I can only cut and paste it, LOL It reminds me of a holiday I had in Butlins Skegness uk, mever been back since, ( in joke for UK members ) out of curiositywhere would you put the tassels ??

Oh bless wingzero23 back on the rails

Oh the old farmer giles , they can be a bad thing, I got off M.E. before thwey took root lol

Hey Shug you got them ? lol I was onlly kidding , me I am ok , so you have my sympatyhy , Iv heard they are painfull.

Hey php , thats my all time fav. o/s your dissing. lol cut my teeth on that, also got piles using it I tell you man never got the blue screen though, yeah one in a million me, LOL anyone got a clue, defrag, my old Sony Vaio. no all I get is O/S cant be found

Hi EWO just think you are right on that one , It is not his main drive, so little or nowt would be gained by defraging it, doubt if his page file is on there either, warning - Defrag can loose your O/S. WHA ?, yes just gone and done that on my early Sony Vaio notebook just as I had found a buyer , so take it apart , bust the case again, remove the H/D and reload M.E , F***k all for $30 not a happy bunny me

Hi CA3BLE, oh man, I am double sorry, for the derailment, but we made a sticky, at least TOMMIE .G and me have apologized , cant say the same rest of the motley crew, Please don't make my banner a toaster, I would be happy to be a Microwave though, Guys, please pay attention and vote banner or stars or both, P.s just wish I had not mentioned the bloody Mangle/wringer , hey Tdawnaz I think in the UK a wringer was powered by electrickery, a black art in my house as a kid ,

Thanks FallowEarth It's just we have something unique in Testmy.net, and this could try CA3BLE's patience just one step to far, just take a look at my previous Forum " http://www.numion.com/f/index.php" you'll see what I mean, hey guy's take a look, it started with good intensions, but kinda lost it's way

I'm gonna be serious for a change , I guess this will not effect me much, being I'm in the UK, BUT , want ads style sounds the way to go, as we can all do the auction bit on G-bay, I think this is a big step for Testmy.net, would be good to buy from buddy's but it just worries me that TMN, may have some problems if things go wrong, also I just hope it would not affect the unbiased help that is freely given , i.e. you need more ram ,it's your lucky day, I just happen to have some for sale , type of thing, sorry to sound pessimistic, but testmy.net is IMHO the best forum going, just hate to see it hit problems in any way Roco uk

Oh I thought this was a kosher forum

I got a EX for sale I will even pay the shipping costs,

Word of warning, DON'T do as I did a while back. used a vac. cleaner and nylon paint brush, to clean the M/B yeah I heard a click and that was it. one u/s M/B , $40 down the tube , literally

Hi CA3LE, sorry, I think i was the start of the thread derailment, so come on guys only 35 people have voted, I personaly like the stars, coz I have got 5, and have finaly made it to Sr. but happy to go along with the majority. P.s. if we carry on like this CA3BLE will give us domestic goods as a banner

Hi tdawnaz, you have just jogged my memory, you are right on that , the posh people here called them wringers, now they are catologed as mangles over here ,the art of avoiding that task as a lad was to vary the speed of cranking so mum would nearly nip her fingers, and tell you to leave it alone, oh my, was I such a horrible child, still I must have inherited that from my dad , he always dropped a plate when washing up for the same reason

Hi tommie , sorry so there is a diferance USA/Uk LOL mangle is a hand wound device to squeese water out of clothes after they have been washed, , 2 rollers that are rotated by hand crank , you feed the clothes in by hand while turning the handle, it was my job as a boy to turn the handle, LOL those days are long past, I think you may call them a press, a Mangle in good condition is now worth a lot of money as a collectors item in the UK, LOL probably more than the boy that turned the crank superceded by a spin dryer in the 70s and the auto washing machine in the 80s

Hi Palidin, I still stand by my comments that brand puters are OK for general use, I have many Dell/Compaq etc puters pass through my lowly workshop some getting on for 10 years old , they never had any hardware problems, after all no manufacturer would routinly fit sub standard parts, and most parts come from China these days, wether designed for brand or home build, the main problem is the operator ,or in truth the imperfect O/S

ouch so true Reso, me, I fit in the twiddler cat, been like that since I was a kid, as I guess most of T.N. members are, but I tell you what that H.P. I reloaded, was 100 points clear of my puter usuing performance test, and it had a 5.4 rpm hd, and a lousey vid card, kinda made me feel a bit sick, it was a joy to run, still thinking about it I built this box 2 trouble free years back, guess things move on, but I gona leave it alone for a year or 2, as things seem to be changing fast at the moment, whats 64bit, vista etc. gonna let the dust settle b4 , the next build

Hi Paladin, with respect, nothing wrong with a brand puter, yes they are not for me, it's the lack of ability of the user that is the problem, but saying that, is a puter just like a fridge, Hoover or anyother consumer appliance ,do you really have to join Testmy.net just to be able to use it ?, I think things have gone wrong somewere down the line, most of my "friends " just want to book tickets, look up info. etc. they have no interest in the technicalities of how and why, and for that they have my sympathy, just my thoughts please feel free to disagree

Hey good buddy Coknuck, you have my interest , WTF is a 1% m/c club, being a x biker in the UK, ? ex moto X me, still shed a tear at seeing a bike on the road ,

Hi Coknuck, you aint living the life LOL, or just maybe you are not trying hard enough , score 20 ?, common worry some more, or you wont get grey hair

OOOOOh so right Respo, just been doing one (H.P.) with 270 odd running and 40m,b ram avail ,LOL nice puter but running slower than a !66mhz job, gave it back running like a rocket, just got a call after 1 month "it's the same as before " I think im gona have to start charging $, They have said we might buy a new one as there is something wrong with this one, yeah if my concience woud let me I would buy it real cheap, :twisted:l
