@ Joe:

Thanks.  Yes, I know about newegg....fantastic prices on everything!  I have used them before.  If I try to buy something locally, they are close to half the price so even with shipping, still a huge savings.  One of these days, I want to build a system with one of the dual core chips. (Intel code name: Conroe)  I don't really do any gaming but the new boards that work with this chip are very flexible and tweakable.  That machine would probably last me into the next 5 years or so, even though they now have released the quad core chips which to me are redundant as not too much software out there that knows how to utilize them.  I'm far from an expert but I fool around and try things.  I was just amazed that when I tested my cheap e-machines system on pc pitstop's benchmarking tests, it said it was one of the fastest systems they had tested to date.  I know people who have spent $6,000 or more on "super" gamings systems that don't score that well.  Of course, I don't keep it overclocked all the time, no need for it.  It probably is not doing my chip and good, ha ha.  It only went up like 2 degrees according to my software that monitors all the temps. (HDD Thermometer and Speedfan)

Joe, a thought.  Would it be possible to use a PROM chip instead of a 555 for our make/break solid sate devices?  We could program multiple speeds or frequencies into the PROM could we not?  I'm over my head but I was just thinking about the way the cars use them for a lot of functions.

yep in the mid 90s I put together my own PCs it's a bit difficult on a pension,  but I make doo, I travel around a bit and do the dumps.
I phoned the local council years ago, and asked them would they mind? when I was making my telescope, they said thats OK, as long as you wear industrial boots, it helps if they know you also, one of the councilers I knew in New Guinea before (54 or 5) I came south for good in 73.

People out this way just throw PC gear out in the dump when they update, or if the town is having a council roadside cleanup, (rich pickings) the latest thing is to buy new LCD wide screens, so it's the turn for all the CRT monitors to be chucked away, amazing as it may seem. Could be the trend in USA?
It always pays to keey one spare monitor for emergency on standby, bit like a spare mouse n keyboard.

After the farmers get their twice yearly check, they go and buy up big time, amazing.

Two weeks ago I found 5 PCs in one dump, in 1 day. 3 had 40G HD, 1 had 15G drive, other didnt. there was RAM, 2 were P4 MBs. Most were missing something, but I got enough to make at least 2 complete PCs. No Monitors, except for 2 which were totaled.
So I left them.

Abt 4 weeks ago I got a BIG 21" IBM monitor, it has 2 scratches on the screen coating, but works, I had seen it and thought it was a TV set, and so was about to pass it by, you can get lucky.
It smelled a bit so off came the back, washed the stink away in sudds, dried it and put it back on.
2 years ago I found a 3 wheel gopha (people mover) at my local dump, made some enquiries, found out it really had been dumped, soldered a couple wires back on the controller board, put second hand batteries on it, and away it went, nothing like the real flash ones, but it works. Got it registered and gave it to the wife to use.

Jeanna, I've given about 7 PCs away in the past, wish there was someway I could help you with a PC, but I can see Bill and Joe are much closer for help. Yes, try that emulator, get in touch with a local computer user group if you need fast help, or better still, search them out and send their email or web site address to me.

Hey boys, have you got the program working yet?
I'm going to take a look at this newegg site right now.

All right group,

I have not been able to make the table button produce a meaningful table. I don't remember how the html rule for tables goes maybe, or maybe the button doesn't work.

So, the best solution I can think of is to make a spreadsheet and take a screen shot of it and post it as a pic. Maybe someone can suggest a better solution?

So, this is one screen page worth. I want to get your take on it please.

Is it readable ?
Is it too boring to bother to read?
stuff like that, please.

Thank you,

Jeanna

Its a nice progress chart Jeanna, very clear and readable. You could have added a couple more columns saying if it was wet or dry or buried or above ground........wait a minute! I was referring to the post. The link now is sorta blurry and not really readable.
