Subj : Stimulus And Potholes To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Jun 15 2020 17:34:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Always a good idea to have backups of various sorts. DS> I'm just glad I had a backup of the BBS. That saved a ton of work. Too bad the one command line was corrupted but at least it was relatively easily corrected. BM> Ky posted he thought something in the BIOS needed setting/unsetting. I BM> gave you a link to Microsoft on how to install 32-bit on a 64-bit BM> system, and it also indicated a complete hard drive wipe was required: BM> apparently a hidden file or partition. DS> If he sent that, I somehow missed it. Would have been post to me. I didn't find it easily, but then Recoll (Linux/Windows desktop search tool) either doesn't do Virtual Machines or I don't have it configured not to do so. Check for messages from Ky Moffet to me. BM> Could also have gone inside, installed a brand new hard drive, BM> disconnected the original, and see what happened. If the 32-bit OS BM> then installed, great! If not, you didn't screw up the original drive BM> and could swap the connections back. DS> Well, I'm not technically savvy. With the surgery bill for one DS> nights hospitalization looming, I need to concentrate on getting DS> financial aid for that. I admit that I got a $400 of ham radio DS> software last night for $50. I saw the email, but will process it DS> on the other computer. Also, those cables will arrive on DS> Wednesday. Yes, what's simple for one person is complex to another. And good deal on the Ham software! BM> That's one old cartoon I wouldn't mind rewatching. Know BM> they're on I think MeTV network, just more than enough other stuff to BM> do and watch. DS> Next thing you know, anything they had as weapons, will be DS> removed as "too violent"...like their making it where Elmer Fudd DS> no longer has a firearm. Stupid PC. I could kill someone with a pen or save their life, all depends where I make the hole. It isn't the weapon but how it is used. BM> Too bad can't get the car there: the mechanics sometimes like it when BM> there's no rush. DS> Well, I'm driving again, but still being careful. After I get DS> the medical stuff out of the way, I do need to get the car DS> serviced and cleaned. Anyone else thinking the 'cleaned' part means because Daryl's hernia surgury incision is leaking?! DS> ... Don't raise the bar!! It's too hard to get the drinks!! BM> Belly up? DS> Basically...I'll have a navel orange. Innie or outie?! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
