I was asked by a local chap to help him with a translation job in exchange
for unlimited cups of coffee.
G'day Tony,
I like your rates of pay, wish you lived around here :)

He even still has a black rotary phone with silver-edged finger holes and a
lava lamp.

Reminds me of the 1970"s, lava lamp, a black light, pics of Janis Joplin on
the wall
and Carlos Santana on the HiFi. :)
I think you would be surprised at the level of normal sophistication
with computers, I'd suggest a large majority would still be Win98 compliant
where USB is tricky, USB2 nearly impossible.
LaCie are avail in Oz as well but rather pricey, I'll stick with the clones
and the large format HDD's.

I think odds and ends on mod computers are not that much of a problem,
we have space to burn, with XP one would be expected to re load
fresh OS at least once a year now, with the explosion in malware attacks.

I still dislike XP, but love the speed, my internet experience is magic,
but prefer the relative safety and ease of use with 98

Well, change the settings to "Classic".

Start -> (right click) Properties -> (left click) Classic Mode and
voila! Looks and feels like '98 / 2000.- Hide quoted text -

Sorry OLD man2, I have Start -> no properties to click.

I hate Verizon DSL more every day.

I have no idea why. Faster speed... Must be you miss the
hand-holding that A_____-On-Line provides, yes?

I just can't fathom why one would pick a dial-up connection over a DSL
connection. I'm befuddled... (OK, pick on me)

And, for all of the conversations (?) we've had about this and that, I
guess I'm still not "getting" what you're not "getting". CRS and all
that - maybe.

Instead of A_____-On-Line helping one change one's ___________, one
needs to set up their own programs and once one does, the rewards are
there.

Transition is a tough thing sometimes. Notice that I was nicer than I
have been? Bah, humbug!

On a serious note, Windows Clerk #1, please post us your top 5
complaints about having DSL instead of dial up and we'll help you out.

OK, the thing that give me a PITA with DSL is the slooow speed laoding
up all of the windows, from sign on to email, to websites. Much
longer than my old dial-up. I did notice a occasional slow down with
dial-up when area usage was high volume.

That doesn't sound like DSL, it sounds like LSD! Ooops... I don't
know what snake oil they're selling you that passes as DSL down in the
'Glades, but up here in 'Dacker country we get at least a 1230 kbps
download and a 256 kbps upload for DSL.

1230 - 56 = 1184 faster kbps

Maybe they're going in reverse? I don't get the slow drawl loading up
e-mail nor web sites. When I did use AOL a few years ago (thank you
for the trial period!) it loaded like a lumbering dinosaur.

Why don't you go out and check the DSL speed on one the various speed
test sites out there, such as:

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

Choose the first option in the list. Then pick the closest city near
to you - Miami. It will then check your download and upload speeds.
Report back to us on the speed.

I don't have the email frills with DSL I had with dial-up.

That's because AOL did all of the hand holding. You can use programs
like Gmail, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc. as well as OE or Outlook.

For
instance, with dial-up each email address had its own Favorites.

Ahhh... one of those AOL thingies, no doubt.

Changing email addr4esses was a snap with dial-up, not so with
Verizon, I have to sign out then sign in again.

You mean with AOL. Dial-up / DSL is the speed of the Internet. AOL
or your current e-mail program is on top of that. Maybe it is not
configured correctly.

I can have all 4 of my e-mail accounts open in Outlook. All I do is
set up each account and it get all of the mail for all of the
accounts, one after the other.

Verizon help stinks period.

That may be, I don't know about it.
