Ray's Thought for the Day revised - Zip pity do dah

Some things never change. Red says this isn't the first time a compooter had trouble with a Zip drive and he sure does regret a certain stock purchase of a good, but not a great, while back. This references the fact that the compooter refused to give forth a drive letter for the Zip drive on the first try and refused to boot on the second try (referencing a drive letter for old Zip), but booted OK when Zip was removed.

Lomo remove -ed the Zip and the compooter booted normally.

Also, I, Ray was sitting right here at around 1 AM, working this morning, when I heard an explosion and lo the electricity stopped and so did the compooter. I was afraid the new compooter was broke and I'd get blamed, but Lomo said, go to bed, so I did. Now, as if by a miracle, all's back to normal.

Finally,(see previous post), Rayetta and I in no way believe that all the web sites that contain information on Math ap. Mathonwy are evil, only that we were searching for evil when we found all of them. We also acknowledge that we could have unearthed much more evil somewhere else.

But back to the new compooter. The reason we have not upgraded for 7 years is basically because upgrades are annoying and expensive and do the same old things faster, maybe. Now we have just discovered that our HP Scanjet 4100 C is not XP compatible. Some things never shange. So we either have to rig something up drvier-wise or get a new scanner. Jeez Louise, too many maybes. We had forgotten what a racket the compooter business is.
