Bill, on Friday I received my 16.5" WWII. About a month ago my brother had used it to chop up some sticks and somehow managed to damage the very tip of it (Less than 1/16"). I didn't send it in until recently because you were recooperating. I just wanted to thank you for repairing it, and in about a week. This is my first (and only, for now) HI khukuri, and it is special to me. Your personal touch has made it even more prized. Just this weekend I used it to fell and limb some small trees near my fenceline. Its good to have it back again.

You are right about me wanting to play it safe, Bill. Right now I am to repairing knifes as you are to computers.

Big Bob,

Don't lend a knife you want back in decent condition to someone who is not into knives. My experience has been; they will come back dull, sometimes chipped (rocks make great chopping blocks), and rusty.

Actually Ray, I've had my khuk for over a year now.

Sorry Bill, I know even less about computers than you do; I don't even know how to send an e-mail.

Will, my brother used it without my permission. I guess I'll have to get him one to use himself someday. Meanwhile, I'll keep mine hidden from him.

Bob
 
Good idea, Bob. Get brother one he can maintain himself.

I need to upgrade this computer and am sorry to hear that you are worse off than me, Bob. That makes you able to turn the computer on and that is just about it -- same as me.

YIKES! Triple post - must be a little shaky this morning. Let that be a lesson to y'all that if you overindulge the night before, make sure it was worth remembering.

$599 about 4 weeks ago at all the major stores carrying computers for a Compaq 7360
500 Mhz cpu, 512K cache, 64 Mb pc100 ram, 10 gig hard drive, 40x cd, USB ports, with W98 2nd edition.
I even got a 19" monitor for about $300.

As soon as I get back up and find a book on windows 98 ( I'm running w95 ) I'm going to switch over from the 133 w/48 Mb and 1.2 gig outfit I'm using now. I just don't want to get it fouled up so it takes a month to get it back online like I had it. Then I start thinking of a CD R/RW ( a CD recorder ) and a scanner.

I have the HP 8250 -- a 266Mhz -- two years old next month. I am okay with everything but the 266. Can I upgrade this to a 500 or 1000 and let everything else stay as it?

Ask Jim March. 266 was a kind of watermark. I don't remember if it was the last of the old generation or the first of the new. I think it was about the first of the new. If you have a AMD socket 7 cpu, and the motherboard can handle it, you're talking maybe 80 bucks to pop the old one out and pop the new ( 450 to 500 Mhz ) one back in. If you've got a Pentium 2 or Celeron, probably just as simple, but a hundred bucks or so more expensive. On my old one I opened the case, located the cpu, grounded myself, pulled the old ( 75 Mhz )one out with my fingers, and plugged the new one in ( 133 was all the motherboard was able to go ) closed the case and powered up. What might be about as expensive but make it go faster would be to jump the memory to twice what you've got. You have to know what kind of memory you have and grab it at the right time, because as they put more of their production into newer types, and that makes the older more scarce and more expensive. Again, talk to Jim.
