The good news is BM>>> he is fighting back and has orderd two replacement UPSs to replace the BM>>> two which were damaged. The good news is it appears one of the two BM>>> original UPSs is working and he plans to use it with equipment in BM>>> another room. NB>>> Good that he's not really giving up... :) And nice that there was NB>>> less damage than first thought... :) BM>> Yes, appears the attitude is he gets kicked, down for a bit licking BM>> wounds but figures out how to get back up and fight back. NB>> This is just too important to him really to let it go too easily... NB>> and with other people pulling for him too there's encouragement to NB>> continue... :) BM> Agree. LIS it's sort of the get knocked down, OK, enough is enough I BM> give up, ...no, I will not give up! and he comes back fighting. Yup, the funk doesn't last too long.... BM> Good news is last he mentioned he was getting either a new computer or BM> upgrading one, with a shop doing the work. Yes I saw that... BM>> I'm not sure but I think one of the two original UPSs was damaged and BM>> the other is going to be used for a spare/remote computer. The two BM>> replacement computers are supposed to be arriving today or tomorrow. BM>> (It's probably like trying to explain the computers and UPSs here - BM>> complicated and confusing with written text.) NB>> The important thing is that he's working on getting himself back up NB>> and running... A rather odd spew of messages from Apr 14 to Apr 24 NB>> appeared in MEMORIES a couple of days ago, and then nothing since... NB>> Still working on things, I guess... :) BM> The messages in Memories appeared to be from Daryl/his site? Possible BM> he attempted to get back on-line and the message timestamps got BM> screwed up and so uploaded. Yes, from Daryl's computer/bbs... I don't think the timestamps were disturbed, more like they just hadn't gone out yet, and when he tried getting things set-up, this batch went out... The real messages were all the 14th, the rest were the daily Burma-Shave ads from the 14th to the 24th.... BM>>> I also suggested he didn't have to come back to ILink as a SysOp: BM>>> could come back as a regular member. NB>>> For sure.... just has to find a bbs to call that has ILink... ;) NB>>> Like I do... ;) BM>> Gee, I wonder if there are any?! NB>> At least Tiny's BBS carries it, where I call from... ;) BM> Hmm, that's an idea! He can always grab the address from the bottom of my messages... :) I've not yet checked out calling any other bbses that might carry it, though... probably should sometime... ttyl neb .... I'm a pilot. I pick it up here and pile it there. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
