Post #50,918 by orion 9/6/02 10:44:22 PM Reply	Hmmm I got a Windows 2000 Pro disk at home, not the same as the one at work, but could I do a reinstall without losing my registry settings and just zap out the user login info? *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
Post #50,919 by deSitter 9/6/02 10:49:48 PM Reply	Re: Hmmm I'm confused - what's to lose here? Since it's brand new, what's to worry about just starting over? Just start over. PS - don't use NTFS(NG) unless W2K is the only OS. -drl

Post #50,966 by Andrew Grygus 9/7/02 10:07:04 AM Reply	Yes, that's what we said here in LA . . . . and they finally went. Now, if we could just peddle the Bums to somebody, we'd only have to subsidize the basketball team - but they don't cost that much and they win, so we'll probably let them stay for now. Los Angeles - not exactly what you'd call a "sports town". [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Post #50,978 by orion 9/7/02 11:24:06 AM Reply	Heh heh I'm a computer geek, instead of surfing for porn on the weenend, I am instead installing software on my laptop. The closest I get to porn is those ads that pop up when I do a [link\|http://www.astalavista.com\|search] for a NT/W2K Password recovery solution. But Mozilla takes care of eliminating most of them, and I just close out the rest that get by Mozilla. Yeah, I work an extra 10 hours a week, at home, with my laptop, installing software, etc. I am trying to get Twiki to work on the Laptop using Apache 2.0, Cygwin, and ActivePerl. I hope I can show the boss how Twiki can be used to document stuff, etc. *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*

Post #51,153 by orion 9/9/02 7:39:51 PM Reply	Not Altavista, but Astalavista As in the "Security" Search Portal. Did you even visit my link? If you did, you'd see that it was not Altavista at all, the graphics alone should have given you a clue. *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
Post #51,207 by inthane-chan 9/10/02 11:11:51 AM Reply	Gotta get my eyes checked... ...or move to a lower resolution. I moused over the link, and in the status bar thought I saw "www.altavista.com" - but the font in that bottom bar is about 1/2 the size (9pt v.s. 12?) of the main body text. Sigh. Soon, don'tchaknowit, I'll have to run @ 640x480 again... :P End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.
Post #51,210 by drewk 9/10/02 11:26:28 AM Reply	Get an LCD Soon, don'tchaknowit, I'll have to run @ 640x480 again. You need an LCD. Not because they're so much easier on the eyes (though they are). But because you can then say you're simply running native resolution, and that happens to be 1280x1024. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
