In a message on Thursday 10-05-16 Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:

Good evening Paul,

Nice to read you again.

PQ> Like you and Jean, I have been scanning this echo all along.  Just
PQ> lurking, with nothing to say.[gulp]

Knowing that Jean recently had a blockage in the arteries from/to the
heart, and that he is only one year younger than I, makes me worry about
how he's recovering.

PQ> Ahmm... the "Great Race" is on this weekend, Holger.  The Bathurst
PQ> 1000 carnival starts tomorrow (my time), and goes on through to the
PQ> main race on Sunday.    Keep an eye out for it in your TV guide(s). 
PQ> :)

Oh yes I know. My GS is apparently reading some motor news that I don't
know about, and he told me about it. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm following the program listings on MotorsTV, (thanks for the URL),
but on tuesday they did only have info up to sept. 10, and I saw no
signs of Bathurst up to that date, neither did they have a week listing
extending beyond sept 7th.

I do however expect a new weekly listing today, since usually they do
have a new listing on thursdays.

On the Windows front, I'm progressing, and hoping it wouldn't do its
old-time-tricks of suddently removing programs. That happened on the
laptop a couple of days ago.

On the stationary machine it was still working yesterday, knock-on-wood!

A couple of days ago, it had made the VLC progran unusable, so I had to
reinsltall it. I got the original icon on the bottom line, but the icon
on the desktop, the VLC icon still tells me that the shortcut doesn't
work, because it can't find VLC.exe, even though it's still and now in
the original directory. Oh well, Windows!!!

I did also buy a speaker set, so I didn't have to wear headphones, while
listening to music, and the videos Johan (the GS), sent me from the
birthday present, driving different sportcars on a track, that he
received from his wife, Melissa.

Melissa got a permanent job at the St. G”rans hospital, and recently she
also got her original title back, that one she had at the US hospital,
where she worked b4 moving to Sweden.

On the speaker front, I bought a similar set that I have bought a couple
of years ago for my 23" LED TV, that does have a built-in DVD reader.

I have been satisfied with them, but when I connected the new set to the
stationary computer I got very distorted sound. I did connect them to the
laptop, same distorted sound.

Then, I connected the new set to the TV, instead of the earlier ones.
Nice and clean audio from the same DVD as b4.


Have a nice evening,

Holger
