Been Gone Awhile

Hello everyone;
Sorry about the absence. Our PC went for a deep six on the 15th of January
with a bad bios update. Had to order a brand new system which just got
here
today. (No sense doing the chipset replacement as the new system was to be
ordered anyway.

That one with the BIOS problem wouldn't happen to be a Dell, would it?

I bought one and it lasted four days before calling for an RMA. Even that
they screwed up.

I hope everyone has remained in good health and good spirits while I've
been
making this changeover in computers :-)

Good to have you back

BTW, are you still looking for equipment for that Young Eagles program you
were teaching?

Please, Please, Please tell us you haven't gone VISTA on us? :-)

Looks to me like he went to a mac: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.3.061214

Smart move.

Dudley,

Good to have you back.

Well, I take it you just pulled the back-up you do every day or so and
everything went smoothly from there-on...

I just ordered a Dell on a Sunday night and it was on my doorstep that
Tuesday evening. I am spending more time get it configured and all my
other applications loaded.

Well Dudley, you did miss a few 'minor' items while you were gone...

The FAA was made independent of the NTSB and is now a cabinet seat in
the White House...
A new head of the FAA was appointed and he is a GA pilot and CFI from
Iowa...
A Special Master was appointed to review FAA regs and he immediately
ruled them to be unconstitutionally complex... They have been voided
and the FAA has 90 days to rewrite the regs in plain language
understandable to a high school graduate...
Once awarded the pilots certificate, exercising those privileges is a
legal right...
All adverse certificate actions by the FAA to be reviewed by the
Courts...
Airports have been declared to be crucial to the national
transportation system and it is a felony crime to close an airport...
This rule is retroactive five years from this date and all airports
closed since then have to be reopened within 6 months... Any
interfering structures within the airport traffic area and its
approaches will be immediately bulldozed... It is a felony crime to
interfere with or file a lawsuit against any provison of this rule...
All state and local airport noise ordinances and/or other local rules,
laws, and regulations impacting pilots, are declared unconstitutional
as the FAA has jurisdition over aviation...
The airman medical is self certification based on having a valid
drivers license... Special provisions for those lacking a drivers
license for non medical reasons will be promulgated...
The aircraft condition inspection is now biennial...
All aircraft parts and equipment must have a source of at least two
independent manufacturers before the aircraft may be produced.. Any
willing supplier may produce airplane parts which will be considered
airworthy as a matter of law...
And finally, all high school districts must offer pilot training
similar to drivers training, or lose federal funding...

As I said, a few minor items in your absence...

OUTSTANDING!

You just cost me $5.

I bet someone you were dead - or permanently stuck (inverted) in a doorway,
wearing gravity boots. Either way... :-)

Welcome back.

BTW, how is the back?

To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of
something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey,
can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

M There is a good way to do it for outlook express, if you are

M are using.

For those who want advanced article screening, I suggest GNUS running
on Xemacs. This works on Windows, Macs, and Linux, is free, and not
hard to setup. For instance, I can ignore posts started by a given
author and *all followups* to those posts. Really makes Usenet
readable again. And Xemacs is an extremely versatile text editor for
those with a need for something beyond Notepad.

When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my
grandfather did. Not screaming and yelling like the passenger in
his car.
