U GOT that rite! I not so sure it was Gates. Him and the woman were too busy giving millions to "who knows where for what!" I think that "bean" head, Balmer, mucked that deal with "touch screens, etc." Fore sure don't junk the XP. They make an excellent "juke box." If ur' happy with the speaker in XP terminal.... otherwise get ur' own version of speakers etc. Get urself a free copy of iTunes — Many options for different formats. Tons of free and $.99 singles on the net.
Enjoy!

Urrr so rite! ! ! ! I found "pictures" tell more than 500 words. . .
1944 — I was introduced to "hand setting type characters" into a metal composing stick - then placing them into an iron frame that went onto a print press. The text setting instruction book didn't do much for me. However a compositor "showed" me what the book was talking about. Later, 1995, when I designed a computer "Volleyball" score keeping program . . . I was flooded by eMails with questions.

A program named "SnagIt" came to my rescue. Snag a picture of the form to be filled in. Take that .jpg picture and modify with Snagit program... i.e. word clouds, arrows, colors, etc. . . .

Six or seven pictures + notes . . . to 864 players . . .

NO MORE eMails . . . asking questions.

below will do the trick:

Oh my gosh!
Urrrrrr 5 years late. The owner of PHShop tried this angle many years ago and got laughed out of the park by MicSft, Google, etc. The $$$ operations.

PHS owner slithered off into a different fish pond....

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!
Like a "Megladon Shark killer whale" and look who's following?
---------
Remember: If U find anyone who sells programs. . . for a fixed price... You don't get any disks = pass onward to friends! The prg. is delivered via the internet. That way when Ur' system gets trashed with unwanted programs etc. . . . and totally corrupted. . . 90% of the time the installed prgs. also get trashed beyond use!

[the mice have invaded!]

THE NEW WAY . . . Prg. slithers down the wire when required, @ 30 gigs/sec. If it chokes, the "Megladon Shark" returns from the sea and fixes it.... and away U go again... only $10.00/month. . . .

The "Megladon Shark" and associates laugh all the way to the bank. It's called the "American Dream!"

don't know what's wrong with Hawkeye link....

go here http://gochipmunk.com/

page down to middle.... see Hawk... "with attitude"..
seems to work...

I'll take Chipmunks and Flying Squirrels any day. No where near destructive and territorial as Squirrels. Both have much more personality than a squirrel.

http://gochipmunk.com/ then http://gochipmunk.com/html/hawkeye.html. Hawkeye has steaks about 3 times a week mixed with Walleye fillets the other 4 times.. .. .. snagged from Mud Lake.

donrent....

Love the comment!

How about a "Daddy Long Legs!" . . . just a guess.

Couple years ago .... purch 3 different WD drives from WallMart... and returned 3 different drives.... in 2 days.... All failed. Same pile in store. Got re-bates for all.

======

Next a SGate 320..... Choked big time..... Got a second... and it worked.... then a 3 rd. . . . . both two and three work ok... soooooo far...... year + . . . . I power my xp on/off daily. NO 24 hr. crap.

Google Drive and Cloud work very well. Whether I'm in Iron Mountain Mi or www.zihuatanejo.net/beaches.html‎ in Mexico
repairing Linotype machine. Then to Cancun MX to repair another one. I store copies of info. for repairing/adjusting simple adjustments on machine. Text files take up much less space than .jpg and videos do. However 1 picture is worth 10,000 words.

DON'T DITCH XP TOOOOO FAR AWAY. Maybe other end of table. Disconnect from internet. Get a SanDisk, USB Flash Drive. Many choices for capacity. Whatever ur' bankroll will allow!

Create "Juke Box" out of it. Play ur' favorite music. Amazon has 1000's of specials for selection.

What version of 8 are U using? and how much, more, better is it than the original V8?

Hey, if Ua have an XP . . . don't trash it. If ur going to upgrade to another piece of MicSft machine. . . Just unplug XP from internet. . . Get urself a SanDisk... 32 gb.. [U could use Google Drive.... ]

Move data files from New Mic machine with "a" Flash Drive.

No way am I'm paying $300+ for new version = Corel Draw.

"Snagit" Corp. "screen capture" allows U to run a duplicate version of "Snag" on (one) V8 machine. FREE!

My XP will do just fine separated from Internet. 2006 model "souped" with max. memory plus larger terminal... {hard drive crash. . .} ["C" crashed - wasn't physically broke] Now it's my [E] drive where I do all my composition work for typesetting, etc.

XP's aren't going to get trashed. . .Just keep 'em off the network!!!

Reporters are hired by OWNERS....

This would have been more interesting to work on than my 36 Ford Rumble seat, rag top,V8-60 engine with cable mechanical brakes... [adjust brake cables weekly]

Took me 1/2 day to figure out there was an internal bolt into motor block that had to be removed in order to get 1 of the (2) water pumps off engine. In order to remove the bolt... U had to drain water and remove hose. No books in those days about repairing motors etc. . .

Upper creek is some of the best trout fishing in the area.. .. Sometimes I wonder if it's an outlet from Thunder Mountain State Trout Hatchery. Just a couple miles west of this bridge. Excellent camping, tents or campers, in Veterans Park which is just up a stairway hill. It's a must see!
