I went up the hill to do some shooting and there was a computer there with
many bullet holes through it. My first thought is that Walter might have
been there. A while back there was a female mannequin there with lots of
bullets through the heart. I thought later that that could be an interesting
abstract photo with the addition of a little red color. When I went back to
get it someone had blown it to pieces. Rednecks really like to blow things
up. /jmac

If the people who make cars were as incompetent as the ones who build
computers, the roads would be clogged with horse shit, because we'd all have
a couple in the back yard -- horses, not computers. New, gee-whiz super
computer, and no f***ing parallel port! Looks like I'm behind the times.
Again. Am I the only one with still working, perfectly good old printers?
And only two USB ports in the back? That's enough for mouse and keyboard,
but what about Epson and Minolta scanners and a pair of Epson printers,
particularly the 2200, all of which need these things? I can plug the E-1
or E-330, et al, into the front when I need to update the firmware every
once in a blue moon, but I don't want to have to play musical ports with all
the other stuff that's used regularly.
Fortunately, since I told them to hold the TV card -- who the hell watches
TV on a computer anyway? -- there's a couple of open expansion slots. I'll
go out very speedily one day next week in my intelligently-designed, now
510HP SSR and see what I can find at CompUSA or some similar geeky place.
:-)
Jeez!
