If most of the stuff you are backing up is word and excel documents, you could put them into a few zipped folders and e-mail them to yourself as attachements. 1. How? 2. Is this an option if I'm on dialup and mailing 1 Word attachment can take about 15 minutes? Oh nevermind that :lol: :lol: Dial-up...

OK, 1st of all, I apologize for bothering ya'll with this. So I got my cd-r's, and tried to backup, and I get an error that the cd is write protected???? (obviously, I haven't been staying on top of things.) Do you have to format cd-r's like I used to format floppies 10 years ago? Or do I have a pr...

If the noise is from a fan you should be able to open the case and stop each fan with a finger momentarily without causing any problems. If it is from the CD-ROM it will only make the noise when the drive is being accessed. If you are not using the drive then it should not make any noise.

The ticking noise that you hear is from the write head contacting the actual metal discs that make up your hard drive. I would recommend that you back up all necessary information, find all your reinstallation discs and go buy a new hard drive. If the 'puter is still under warranty then the drive sh...

Leinie's Sunset Wheat (http://www.leinies.com) for me./

Actually all their beers are good.

Miller bought them, at Leinie's request, in order to stay afloat and give them a larger distribution network. They still don't have distributors in every state so it is hard to get it west of the MIss.

Being I live alone I'm the chief cook and botlewasher. Besides I spent most of my college years cooking in an pizza shop making bread, dough, pasta and pizzas. I like to cook if only I had a deceint(sp?) kitchen to do so.

In regards to the power outages. I was reading an article this morning that most of the large substations shut off power when their own internal seismic sensors sense anything of ample size and that they can take up to a day to reset and charge back up. Which, depending on your view, can be a good t...

One problem with the poll. It depends on my day for me to decide on what flavor to use, if I have any at all.

True dat!! I checked the hotel where I'm staying for the 10/21 show, as it isn't the highest in class, so I figured they might have some openings for 10/28....they don't. But I bet you can find someone here that can help you out with a place to stay. Would the trip down take too long to just drive ...

I'd take Jaws and Stars Wars: A New Hope. John Williams is a master when it comes to creating music to go with a movie.
