Our Wednesday Chatroom closed at 12:40 this morning. It was a long night. At 12:10 a.m., we were still tied for third place.
Sorry, this won't be an in-depth summary....I was sooo sleepy and disoriented I forgot to take notes from the text box before we closed the room. But here goes:
WHO WAS THERE
- KH members: Rob, Dan, Lina, Photolady, Ray, Rich, Fred Freehold
- Visitors who chimed in (I may have missed one or two of these): 1-2-8m, Kever_7, and Detective Linus (he just said hello).
DISCUSSED
- Rich and His New Dog
In one of yesterday's posts, Rich mentioned that he was housebound with an invalid dog, so we were concerned about both of them. When Rich finally joined us, we learned the dog had been castrated -- like Rob said, "Ouch!" Glad everyone is okay.
- New Computer for Rich's Daughter
(Ever hear of the shoemaker whose kids wore no shoes?) She went from a Mac to a Dell 2350! You know she did not ask him for advice before purchasing it! But Rich, like all good dads, was working on it.
- Dan's New Headset :music:
Usually Dan sounds like he's in a tunnel, and I have a difficult time understanding him. He sounds great now, like the gentleman and scholar that he is.
He directed us to the website for the new headset, $20-something. However, he got it free with a new motherboard -- or was it a harddrive?
- Vista
Rob suggested to Photolady that putting it on a separate harddrive was preferable.
- Adding Another Ram Module to An Old Computer
Ray and others had a long discussion on this....it was all in the text box which I deleted before taking notes. .... :sorry:
- ATI vs nVidia
This subject may someday approach the intensity of the antivirus scanner controversy.
Hmmmm.......is our rVidia related to nVidia?
- DVD (questions by Fred)
A scratch remover which actually fills in the grooves.
Did dirty DVD player damage the DVD?
Quality of play on computer better than DVD player.
- Photolady's New Machine
She's making headway.
- Speech Software
Need for mouse? Using keyboard for functions.
Robert the Blind Guy uses JAWS.
- Visitor 1-2-8
Wanted help with a "site with a virus."
Dan said, "No thanks." LOL
- Visitor Kever_7
She wanted: To make money on line, an ISP for free, to be her own dial-up....and a whole lot of other things.
After a lengthy discussion, Dan gave her the url for ISS and directed her to the Microsoft Knowledge Base. He gently informed her it would take up to $70,000 to do what she wanted to do.
Kudos again to Dan for his patience, courtesy, and vast knowledge! :hail:
BTW, Tortanick: Rob Cohan did not show up. So I couldn't ask him how the 10-year old he mentioned last week defeated the password.
Until next week .... :grouphug:
