changed username to Ron Ron: Hi Rich rich: hi - I was just about to shut down rich: figured no one wass going to show up Ron: Well I tell ya..... gotta go out at 1 p.m, and I haven't had lunch yet... so maybe we better call it rich: well, we can keep it short Ron: just saw your message. rich: would you caer to handle opening the chat next Saturday, when I'm in Cleveland? Ron: the reminder was well placed rich: I know Guy said Wednesday he wouldn't make it; he's very faithful Ron: sure, no problem Ron: are you going there early? rich: going over to the CART race, meeting my cursor crony and bench-racing buddy from Phoenix Ron: ah, OK Ron: yeah...I'll leave a note here to myself so I don't forget rich: sent my Adamcon registration to Dr. D. last night Ron: good stuff rich: and by the way, Pam and hubby are coming Ron: I got that impression the other night. Glad to see that. Will look forward to seeing Pam again. Don't think I've met her husband Ron: In fact, I'm trying to remember when I met Pam. Probably somewhere around ADAMCON 2 eh? rich: no, you haven't as far as I know, so it will be a new experience rich: don't know how he'll fit in with our crowd, but he'll get by Ron: fitting in with us....sometimes a tall order Ron: eh? rich: I think at one point you picked up something at her apartment when you were passing through Toronto Ron: That's right. Then it might have been later than 02 rich: I suspect there will be a major hen party on the side - sewing, games, babies and stuff Ron: Give Judy and Meeka some company Ron: while the boys play with the toys Ron: and Frances rich: well, Meeka and Pam and Jillian and Judy seem to have really hit it off Ron: will be with them as well rich: I am uncertain, I think she'll split between teh camps Ron: I feel like I should be doing something in preparation rich: ditto and likewise. I asked Dr. D. if there was anything I should bring Ron: Going to work up my Dynomite Sound Digitizer routine but that might not make the program rich: I suspect there will be lots of open time - more schmoozing than work, I'd guess Ron: Be right back Rich... going to load a couple of hot dogs onto the stove.... give me 5 min or so rich: OK will hold rich: . rich: . rich: . rich: while you're away - having myself a computer problem rich: my monitor when starting from cold is fading teh picture in and out rich: it stops after the first 3 - 5 minutes, though rich: trying to determine if its the monitor or video card rich: tried the monitor (warm, maybe 2 - 3 hours of cooling) on the Amiga and it worked fine rich: tried an old 14" monitor on the DOSbox and it worked fine even after overnight turnoff rich: my current suspicion is that it is the monitor is the problem rich: so if the 14" works properly through till Monday morning, including long turnoffs, will take the regular monitor in for repair rich: fortunately it is under warranty Ron: I've had 2 like that Rich Ron: sounds like the monitor to me..... cold connection, or failing connection rich: does that fading just after startup indicate incipient failure, then? Ron: Actually, I get maybe 1/2 hour our of mine, then they go dead, so it's not quite the same rich: cold connection sounded very plausible to me Ron: When it warms up it breaks the connection rich: since once everything heated up it was gloriously perfect for hours after Ron: Nobody around here even wants to go inside any more.... they just get consigned to the scrap heat Ron: heap I mean rich: well, this one is the manufacturer's grief - it still has a year to go on warranty Ron: maybe it's the reverse.... the connection heats up then gets made Ron: yup, I would say rich: yes, that's what I was figuring, so I couldn't rule out thermal creep on a video card chip Ron: Have one here that waited for 3 days after my 'taking of stuff to the recyclers' then it failed.... knowing full well I had nowhere to take it\ Ron: so here it sits rich: they plot these things Ron: I think so Ron: sorta knew it was on its way out because it was blinking intermittently rich: anyway, I gather you've got stuff you gotta do Ron: yeah Rich guess I better get back upstairs before the wieners boil dry... then gotta leave a 1 promptly...so rich: blinking I did not get Ron: sorry about that Ron: see you Wed rich: that's OK, see you Wednesday then Ron: yup\ Ron: bye rich: bye now
