Well, the nature of scientific revolutions by Kuhn was a required
reading last year (2007) and it is quite persuasive.

It is clear that you have failed to understand Kuhn's thesis, as do
many novices (it is also true that his arguments lead to some
ambiguious interpretations).  Nevertheless, you would be better served
by reading it again with the focus being on how and why "normal
science" is still the end result after a revolution.

Darn and the A I received on that paper indicated otherwise.

Why not post your paper? That seems reasonable. Or put it up on a web
site so others can learn from it.

Sadly, but truthfully, my old PC crashed on 12/26 and I lost my school
files from last year.

I did find a great Gateway refurb GT5404 with 2.8 gighz dual-core Itel
processor, much improved CD player, 1 gig RAM, and huge HD. I am
fining the updated Vista Home Professional to be reliable and user
friendly compared to W2000 prof.

Are you doing backups?

I will be this spring. I also write short stories and thankfully those
were backed up on a floppy

Bet it was a 5.25" as well.

which I have to get copied elsewhere as the
new models don't use floppies it appears.

Oh Boy, is there no limit to your ignorance? Use the bloody floppy you
have moron.

What Bob means is you should simply yank the floppy from the machine
that crashed and stick it into a bay in the new machine. It isn't
hard.  You also might consider putting the work onto CDs instead of
floppies. Never know when an EMP might hit.

Chris

Yes it was not very thouthtful to have not backed the essays up last
year...admittedly.

Chris please, the new PCs generally don't have a floppy drive

Most modern machines may not ship with one, but then you went for a
second hand machine didn't you?

All desktop machines can be fitted with a 3.5 floppy.

You have a 3.5 floppy - so why not use it?

and this
one certainly doesn't. Your and Bob's statements are purely insulting.

You are insulting our intelligence.



And of course a CD is preferable.

Most of the time, yes. But having a 3.5" floppy disc drive can prove
useful.

So, it looks like computers are yet another area you don't understand.

Yeah I was an owner of TRS 80, invested in a computer store in 1981,
worked ther on weekends, worked in closed shops, open shops,
programmed for eight years, managed for 15 in large shops , process
contaol, airborne flight and fire control for the DOD, etc.

In your ear!

And yet you know so little about computers that you claimed you new
machine did not have support for a 3.5" drive, and then clearly showed
you would not know how to fit one.

Keep digging, you lies are catching you out.
