Subj : PING Question To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Sep 07 2019 08:30:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>> They both display in monochrome on my computer... BM>> The Wizard is making you use a green screen?!!! ...Here with my BM>> colour blindness sometimes may as well be a monochrome display: BM>> sometimes a white and light blue look the same to me. NB>> Black screen, off-white writing... I have colors in various programs, NB>> such as in Emacs, where I am at the moment, or the Bluewave reader... NB>> just not at the main screen.... remember, this is DOS... BM> I used DOS originally. Started with 2.11 but don't know if could do BM> colours as had a monochrome monitor. First system with colour monitor BM> had DOS but I don't know which version. NB> I've had a color monitor for quite a while... If there's color to NB> be seen, I've been able to see it... but things like lists and NB> normal computer operations tend to be in black and white (or the NB> equivalent)... Yes, probably similar to what I see on the (virtual) Windows XP screen screen here. Colour capabilities, colour display some times and black and white display at other times. DIR displays white on black -- that's the way it is. BM>>>> But 'Rensselaer' rrrolls off the tongue nicely! (Heck: I always BM>>>> thought it was "Renesslaer".) NB>>>> And another instance of similar names across NYS, there's also a NB>>>> Rensselaer Falls near where I am as I type.... here in St. Lawrence NB>>>> County.... :) BM>>> Obviously popular name! NB>>> Named after some famous person no doubt... :) BM>> Glad it was back then and not in today's 'age of casualness' otherwise BM>> it would be call "St. Larry County"! NB>> And maybe Renzie....? BM> If there was something like a Stimpson County adjoining they could be BM> 'Ren and Stimpy'! (Odd cartoon from several years back.) ...Think BM> I'll close now. NB> Wise move... BM> ... I know "Ren" means "Rename"......but Stimpy??? NB> You mean that isn't a linux command yet....? Maybe it is and I'm not aware of it! OK, out of umm, scientific experiment: barry@NZXT:~$ stimpy Commmand 'stimpy' not found, did you mean: command 'snimpy' from deb snimpy sudo apt install So 'snimpy' is a tool to build SNMP, which is something to do with networking. Ren and Stimpy do talk and socially network.... Or at least did - I haven't seen nor heard about them in ages. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... Stay the patient course. Little worth is your ire.
