I still say the wording on question 3 was ambiguous.
When it said display I took it to mean each page
that watches were on. Not the display ON a particular
watch which is what was wanted. "...set of 4 icons on
a watch...." would have been precise and unambiguous.
Alex was kind enough to contact me and I tried to
explain why I thought what I did. Still not sure if I
succeeded but it was terrific that he took the time to
reply to my initial message. You don't see that much
these days.

PS Alex you know I wasn't going to go quietly. GGGGGG
You're a class act Alex.

Best Regards

Whatever you do don't ask to be put on their email list.
No where on these messages is there a way to cancel them like 99.9% of newsletters out there. I went to their site
figuring I could cancel from there. Wrong. I sent them an email and asked them to stop sending the mail. I believe I still get their newsletters but my MailWasher filters them out now so don't see their headers. At least I didn't send them any money. It's a shame since their site is a pretty good idea.

Looks like a Fiat 500 to me. Called a cinque cento.
They were all over in Italy back in the '60s & '70s. It was nothing to cram 8 people into one. Fiat stopped making the 500 in the 70's I believe. If you owned one and it broke down you would NEVER leave it unguarded. It would be stripped clean in the blink of an eye for parts!
Hard to believe that some years latter I was riding a motorcycle with an engine 50% larger than the Fiat 500.
A really neat little car!

The proper solution would have been:

1. Upgrade to a .38 at a minimum. A .22 will only make
the bum mad if he's shot.

2. Place one shot between his eyes. If he's facing away
the back of the head works well also.

3. Call the law.

End of problem.

Bean - It's you liberals that are continuing to take away our rights. You won't be happy until the government runs every aspect of our life from cradle to grave. It's already close. Why do you leftists always side with the criminals? I imagine when your house is broken into you'll sit down and have tea with them.

Moon: Was that by any chance a MicroProse game?
or maybe SS!? MP was my all time favorite simulation
company. I just tried to get Silent Service II to run on this POS Vista. No luck. Now I'm trying on an XP Pro system.

Eric: I vaguely remember that but that's about all. I suffer badly from CRS* disease.

Well Eric seems to have stolen my thunder since I too had a Sinclair. Don't remember the model or even what it did. All I remember is it had a membrane keyboard. Then I too went to a Vic 20 and then up to a Commodore 64 and eventually a C-128 and finally a C-128D that had a built in floppy drive! Used to punch holes in the floppies with a specially built device made just for that. Course later I found out a regular hole punch would work just as well. I didn't understand why if one could use both sides of the floppies they didn't have two notches in them already. I heard the other side was not certified so using it might end up with bad consequences. Donno if that was true. I was on Prodigy also. Seems I hung out on the BBS for HOURS each day. Had a bunch of BBS friends. Even Started are area called Navy Breakfast. We all call it Plodigy since it was slow as molasses. If memory is correct they originally had no time limits but they later changed that probably because people like me used to log on for many hours a day. Am sure they finally realized they were losing money and went to time limits. I think we all bailed out when they did that. GGGG Somewhere along the line I was on Quantum Link. I ordered a huge soft back book from them that had tons and tons of software I could DL. I think that's was about all you could do on QL? Interesting side note. Some years later I decided to join AOL, or as those in the know called it "AO-Hell". I keep getting an error that said my credit card was already in use and finally had to call them. They told me they still had my CC info from when I was on Quantum Link which later on became AOL. (There's a trivia Q for you! GGG) I was also on something called GE-nie. It was owned by General Electric and some smart person decided to allow others to use their data links after regular working hours and on weekends. So they made some extra money on something that would have been sitting around and not being used. Don't remember exactly what I did on it. Think it was all BBS type stuff. Soooooooooooo that's some of my trip down memory lane. Oh yeah BTW, ref the cassette drive the Vic-20 used. It was nothing but a standard cassette player/recorder that they changed the speed on so a regular cassette machine wouldn't work and they could charge an outrageous price for the drive at the same time. Lastly, that was back when most of the Commodore software has some kind of copy protection on it. Which naturally brought about disks you could buy to crack the copy protection. Seem to remember they would list the programs each disk would crack. Illegal as Hell I'm sure but WTH. GGGGGG Back then I was retired from the Navy living on a Naval Air Station overseas so I didn't worry too much.

CUL

PS My lousy memory just stirred up something else.
Must have been related to the Vic-20. You could buy huge soft back books that had a TON of Commodore Basic
programs. Then you could spend hours and hours hand typing all this code into the computer and then saving it to a cassette. Used to take me AGES for one lousy program. Invariably they wouldn't work because all it
took was one wrong character and you were up the creek until you then went back and checked it out letter by letter which took even longer! The "good old days" of computing. GGGGGGGGGGG

Now I have MS Vista Ultimate (they forgot to add "piece of crap") which is about the most disgusting OS I've ever tried to use. This is called "progress"!

Contrary to what the headline says it seems to me he and his nest are ON the tower not IN it.

I don't think it's fake. He's simply a nutso Hollander.

I hope someone takes a movie when he takes his first flight. If he makes it he'll truly be "De Vliegende Hollander". GGGGGGGG

It's a real shame Jerse doesn't understand the concept
of "uninstall". It can easily be done via the control panel but if one is really smart they can use Windows Explorer and get into the folder that contains the unwanted program. A lot of times there is a uninstall file available there too.

What I'd like to know is what kind of hard drive does he have to hold a billion GB. Now that would really be impressive. Not to mention how many years it must take to DL such large files. Lastly I'm curious why one would DL such a huge file when they thought it was stupid in the first place.

(Yes I have DLed a LOT of junk programs but I usually have and idea of what it should do first. If it doesn't meet my expectations I uninstall it and move on.)
