While it's a growing trend that new PC's ship without a floppy drive, they're still making them.

Very nice! I run a Sapphire, and have been impressed.

It's a freebie if you bought a machine between late 03 and early 05 with XP pro preinstalled. They'll do a license swap straight-up, buit you will have to reformat the drive. Linkage

Sorry to hear it, Noite. My thoughts are with you.

You may have to call them to get the settings - they REALLY want you to install their shit sometimes. If you know the DSL provider, it may be worth your while to hit their website and print out all that stuff (if available) before you go.

Is this one computer, one connection or do you have to network more than one? If it's just one, set up the modem drivers ONLY and manually set the protocols. Most of the bells and whistles it wants to auto install merely suck system resources and, in some cases, piggyback spyware or malware.

I kept an external 56k modem for just that reason.

I'll have to look for that episode. I'ts not that often you see a senator making an ass of himself without votes being directly involved.

It should. If it doesn't, what the hell. You're not out any extra money, just the time to go back and buy another one.

Oh, I'd find the little bastard, alright. I'd have the 6 pound sledge when I did, though. Night-night, Clocky.

Yeah. You should be able to pick it up through a wireless LAN card set for DHCP. The access points I've dealt with have had an additonal RJ45 to plug in a wired PC for configuration, but you may not need that if your wireless NIC is set right. Unfortunately, Linksys's FTP server keeps timing...

I thought an access point was more like a router and a repeater was basically a signal booster. My impression was that "access point" = wireless router.

Ah. Sorry. If it ain't PC crack, it's not my crack.

And if you believe that, friend.....

A what? Explain, please.

Yeah, they found the car they'd been alerting on for 16 hours in the garage where it'd been stolen. Way to go, guys. He whacked a customs agent this AM, so I'm sure the US attorney will want him. I'm not so sure it's a bad idea. It's just unfortunate that he didn't resist arrest vigorously...

Happy Bday!

I've seen a few goodies in the past.

That's...so wrong on so many levels. The author can't properly pluralize or punctuate, but has no trouble with such complexities as "motherf**ker". Odd.

I've got the rig, I just haven't made the time. There's also the issue of where to do it. Space layout just doesn't work.
