    Using SeaMonkey, since Tbird has a nasty habit of exiting as soon as you
    try to send a message to the NG.

    I just activated Win 7 Pro over the phone AND I'M ACTIVATED, BABY!!!

    Back to re-assembling a working system. Note to self, you can upgrade
    Pro > Ultimate, but Ultimate > Pro is a complete re-instal. Just sayin'

    Hit "send" and Tbird disappears. It's gone, not minimized... It then restarts... Sendts in crash report...

    Louis, why you still scared of Linux??

    go with linuxmint


    fear of the unknown!!
    if linuxmint has the same taste as jolt, you'd want peppermint
    flavour...ahhhh

    bought a hp deskelite 800 mini, an i5 6500T with a 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD
    for just under AU$200 for my mint.

    who want to assemble anymore??

    another nice little gadget is the t620 , come with 2xrs232 , 1 lpt, is a
    AMD quad core with a single expansion slot pci-e, 4GB RAM and 16GB SSD
    for your retro fetish, mine ended up as my new ipfire router, a USB AC
    wi-fi dangle brought the blue interface online for under AU$15.

    remember those 4MB RAM module you used dream of everynight??
    yeah serve you right for believing in M$.
