When I was teaching, I brought in two PC's. My kids promptly managed to get around 100 spyware programs, in a couple days, while I was absent. Both machines took hours to clean all the garbage, mainly from trying to download music, KAZA, and all that stuff.etc. One of my seniors couldn't get...

Thanks David. GREAT... GS

Hi All How long do you think it's going to be viable to run 2003 Server as a desktop? How long before MSFT makes it obselete? I'm not real enthused about moving to Vista, and, with 5 licenses, it's probably all I'll ever need. I've also got a couple copies of 2000 Pro around, but, probably...

HI I just installed on my gaming box, and, it I'm installing a bunch of games I haven't been able to run, or figure out, on 2003, with no problems now. The install was a bit different, but, I'm up and going well. Sincerely Greg Thanks for the suggestions.

Awesome!!! Keep me posted on what you think of this one. Anyway you can see if games load on it.? GS

I LIKE blue LED's, and, I like this case Antec P160W Silver Mid Tower Can be had for under 100 dollars now. Have two, like both, a lot. Greg

Bozo What Corp Key? MSFT's? The guys that wrote the software? ???? Greg

Anyone tried that software fix for 2003 yet? Greg

All I get lately is 'Attempting to get work packet', and, nothing else. Never seems to get through on this computer.

David: Keep me posted, or, send me an invite. Thanks Greg

For what it's worth, your choice of cars has a lot to do with it. Color should be white. You can get your insurance company to give you a study of colors vs. tickets. My old toyota, with a stick, gives me plenty of shifting, before I get to illegal speeds. My sin is having surfracks on it. But...

It was a LONG day, and a long drive. 4 hours in 110 degree heat, no air, then played golf for about 3 hours that night. Posted after that... Greg

2003 detected it, setup drivers, but, when it went to dial the number, it went about 4 numbers and quit. I've setup modems before, and, I got in and tried to find what could be causing it, and no joy. I could also have tried another modem, but, Jack didn't have time. Bozo's is in a box...

That's the weird part: I don't have either copy operating, having long since sold, or given away the computers they originally ran on. I do have an idea, however.... Thanks Greg

WHOOPS!!! WHOEVER SENT THE MODEM TO JACK'S HOUSE, THANK YOU. That's the one I can only get to dial a couple numbers. Will Richards, I didn't get a chance to install your modem, and give it a try. More next week. Greg

PERHAPS THE REAL QUESTION IS, HOW DOES ONE SELL THEIR LEGAL COPIES OF WINDOWS 2000? Greg

Will Richards: Thanks for the modem. 2003 detected it, but, when it tried to dial, it only came through with a couple numbers, and wouldnt' dial all the way through. Cable problems? Never got a chance to try Mubs modem, because Jack was going to the Reno gun show, and didn't have time. Next...

Hi Like a stupid idiot, I actually bought, legal copies of Windows 2000 for each computer I was using it on. Now, I want to sell them. Appears MSFT doesn't allow this< WTF?>???? I need to sell some form of hardware with each 'bundled with computer' copy I have? How do you sell MSFT OS...

Mercutio: I don't see the woman as over the edge, but, your post concerning Jack Huntington was WAY OVER THE EDGE. I don't know what's going on, but, you might want to give second thoughts to your posts, BEFORE YOU POST THEM. Sam, I know you've been through a lot, but, ... Greg

Hi I've been through a few grinds on boards. Most of the time, it's not you. Here, Mercutio, while I did NOT like your post concerning my friend, that you had no knowledge of, I'm NOT leaving. Been here too long for that, and, with the group too long. While I thought your post was truly off...

David: Got mine at Costco, for about 80 bucks, and it works fine. Also does laser. They work great, since most radar traps in your area, there are no other sources to speak of, and, the guys just sit there with their guns on. I find when mine goes off, it's instant off the gas, and, this may...

I'm with Mercutio on this one. 2003 automates tasks that used to be a big hassle in XP, like setting up an internet connection, etc. Pretty amazing OS. Greg

Hi Wondering if anyone has used Googles web surfing speed tool? http://webaccelerator.google.com/ And, with what results, comments? Thanks Greg

Hi Thanks all. I will either use the zoom in my other box for faxing, or return it. Also, it will give me a backup if the software used doesn't like 2003 Server. Mubs and Will Richards: Do you have links to the software that goes with the modems, so I can download it, prior to the 2 hour drive...

I ordered a zoom modem, and, if I can't get the mubs modem to work, I'll use it. about 40 bucks, from newegg, with shipping. If Mubs does work, I'll put the zoom in my computer, and use it for faxing. Thanks all Greg David IS a whore. ;-) Just kidding, and, I love him anyway....

In all this fun, I forgot to celebrate: WELCOME BACK SPLASH!!!! Gary, wonderful to have you back. Is all well? sincerely Greg

Thanks Bozo. I'll be going up sometime next week to help put something in that computer. Sam, I gather you HATE modems, period. It's been 8 years since I've ever had to deal with anything, other then ADSL. We are lucky. 1.2 mb a second here. Static IEP, that they are just now catching, since...

Sam must have had a bad day, night, or both. Maybe too many customer complaints that day, for him. I'm kind of sorry to even ask, but in this day of built in modems, it's been so long since I've had an external modem, I've forgot the details on dealing with them. Greg

Funny what you get when you post a message. This actually came around because I loaded Penicillin on a Comcrap/HPUKE laptop he uses for chronographing bullets, and trajectory, to protect his computer. He surfs with it a bit, but, due to being a 1.4 ghz HP, with a couple old mice driving the...

I forgot. He's running 2003 Server. Thanks Greg

Hi My friend has a very slow dialup internet connection, like 40k a second, maybe. He needs a modem card for internet connection, and FAXES, for a PCI slot. Anyone have one laying around, or have recommendations for which card to buy? Thanks Greg

Thanks Great link!! GS

I returned my Gigabyte 800XL on RMA, and, they took about 2 weeks to replace it, but, I got a brand new card back, at least from my observation. Greg

What are the advantages, or disadvantages of Nod32 vs. Kapersky? Greg

David: I shopped around for a place over there, and, I found the best deals in Pacifica. Right before you go down highway 1, to Half Moon Bay, there are some places up in a little valley, that get a lot of sun, fog seems to go around, and, it's easy to get to 280 to go south, and San Francisco...

We played golf a couple days ago, and, it was 105 for most of the time. I drank water like a fish, never peed, and drank 2 32 oz glasses of water, every 4 holes. Played well, after the first three holes, and killed my partners, who failed to drink enough water, and it really got them on the back...

David: Who did I meet, and what is the scorecard on that house, and person? Is it as hot in Salinas as it is here? It's been 112,111,110 the last three days. It's 109 at 6:30 pm, and last night, it didn't get under 85 until 1am. S

LM: What is a perpendicular drive? Greg

I had the same problem, I think. Have you checked your RAM? I had a non start, and, pulling one of two ram modules made it work. Replaced both, and now it works fine. S

Ok: Kapersky, or NOD32? Greg

This is a really great program. DVD Shrink is long in the tooth, but, it gives you options to cut down the size of your DVD, like I don't need FRENCH, Spainish, Korean, Japanese,German, Greek, and Latin versions of the sound track on my DVD's. Combined with being able to open and rip first in...

PERFECT!!! THANKS. GIVE IT A TRY Greg

Pradeep: Where do you live? You certainly don't need heating in that room... Greg

We had the talk. Point taken. He's no dummy. Thanks Greg

Thanks. Know it's not just me. Up and folding. It's just such a waste to not be folding, when I'm doing something that so doesn't use the potential of the cpus, and, they are on anyway. Greg

I keep getting the message, "Attempting to get work packet" It's been doing this for two days, and, I've reinstalled the entire program. Any ideas? Anyone else having the same problem? My other two machines seem to be going along fine. S

Mercutio: Is that what the thread about Seagates friends and drives is about? New product, beta testing? ;-) Greg

We are in what is really a glorified desert. It's 55 degrees right now, after being 85 today. If the wind blows off the ocean, it stays cool. If it doesn't, it's over 100, or high 90's. Last night I had the windows open, and it was way cooler then I thought it was, and, with wind chill, I...

I'll relay that to my friend. Thanks Mercutio. Greg
