  1. I had to find a file from quite a few years back and had to dust off an old Gateway laptop I had. It looked antiquated! Anyway got the thing out and happily it could still turn on, though it took an age for the Windows 98 to appear and everything to settle down. My, I can't imagine having to wait so long now for something like that..... it took FOREVER to open files. Spent a day going through things but happily found what I needed.

     

    I know now to make complete proper backups of old machines.

     

    It was interesting to see some correspondence I had from back then. Some brought back some happy (and not so happy) memories. I sure said some embarrassing things back then! (Not always you understand).

     

    Though frustrating, it was an interesting experience.

  2. Is it just my bad luck, or am I doing something wrong, or are the toyu oil heaters that people use pretty flimsy and unreliable. I must have got through at least 4 in as many years - they don't break down completely just conk out on me with E4 or E9 messages. Usually when I'm the coldest. I've tried cleaning the things... doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
