changed username to rich-c rich-c: OK am I back now? rich-c: yes, I see I am George: you are here twice rich-c: it happens - the one is a ghost and will go away rich-c: the applett lost me for a minute rich-c: anyway, how are you feeling tonight? George: not so good rich-c: anything unusual or just the regular miseries? rich-c: (by the way, took a look at your website last week) George: my doctor refered me to a cardiologist for CHF rich-c: well, I reckon your problems tend to be pretty hard on the ticker rich-c: even if there's nothing specific, I suspect regular checks are prudent medicine George: fluid keeps bulding up and its hard catch a breath rich-c: and doctors practice prudent medicine because they don't like to be sued rich-c: that sounds like congestive heart problems George: yes rich-c: that is not fun stuff - my young brother died of congestive heart failure rich-c: or at least that was the proximate cause; the real cause was lifestyle George: i'm doomed rich-c: of course, we all are - the only questioin is when George: it seem to be much faster for me rich-c: remember I'm in my eighth decade, and the odds are much against my seeing the ninth George: i may not reach my fifth rich-c: the only dumb thing you can do is give up rich-c: the way medicine is progressing these days. you're likely to live to see a cure for whatever ails you

George: my medical coverage doesn't cover new medical advances rich-c: Canadians don't talk about medical insurance - it upsets our American buddies too much George: i just get basic care BobS: gonna be COLD tonight, had some rain this morning and predicting some snow tonight and tomorrow with 10 above zero temps tonight George: if it gets too bad for me they just let me die rich-c: George, what you got in weather down your way? Any rain yet?

changed username to Judy rich-c: hello judy George: just a little rain Judy: Hello, Rich rich-c: come to keep an eye on the old man, have you? Judy: yes, someone has to rich-c: way the east coast has been, every little rain helps Judy: ya never know what he is up to rich-c: yes, Judy, you never know what he'll get up to BobS: I am very capable of making my own messes than you very much George: rain in Philly makes everyone here silly rich-c: remember the time he up and volunteered to run a convention? Judy: he would just tell you 6'3" BobS: right.......got talked into that one you see Judy: that is right can't trust him rich-c: 6"3" - what's that in metric? BobS: oh sure, Pat said, nothing to it.........and if you do AC09, I will do #10..........so much for planning Judy: don't have a clue BobS: and NOW........Ron did the same thing to us.......YOU have 14 and I will have 15...... BobS: is there a pattern here????????? George: time to turn the TV off rich-c: I don't know but I think I'm going to have to start treading softly BobS: yea..........16 could be YOURS rich-c: Bob, you're fairly experienced on tape drives Judy: he is and I don't llike them rich-c: on a recent disc to tape copy, a clean disc copy came out a bit wonky on tape rich-c: that likely to be just cleaning needed or the speed control starting to go? George: can you have one in philly? I might be able to come rich-c: we'd love to have one in Philly but there has to be someone there who will organize it rich-c: and Rich Cossaboon doesn't seem to be active any more BobS: probably just cleaning OR you need a different tape BobS: should copy just fine.......... rich-c: that was my first guess - must be longer than I thought since I cleaned it BobS: it will do wonders sometimes rich-c: give it a shot of electronic parts cleaner, should tell the tale Judy: pretend it is Philly and come to michigan BobS: no, NO, NO !!!!!!!!! just use some denatured alcohol on a cotton cloth and rub the tape head good, let it dry and then use George: i need to grow wings rich-c: why? there's still a good train from Philly to Chicago, isn't there? BobS: but flying can get kind of dangerous up ther George rich-c: and doesn't it go through Grand Rapids? George: train is cost prohibitive rich-c: I had thought Amtrack was cheaper than flying - am I that out of date? BobS: train comes thru here.....YA SURE George: it actually works out cheaper to fly BobS: cheaper than fliying YES, but maybe still out of Goeorge's BobS: George's financial realm for a computer vacation rich-c: well, with Southwest and the others around, maybe flying is cheaper George: i'm just getting by as it is rich-c: if there's flights from Grand Rapids to Detroit or Buffalo, there would likely be a link to Southwest rich-c: that would be most direct but Philly-Chicago and backtrack could work too George: my food money didn't provide for any meat this month rich-c: that does not sound like a budget that would cover a convention, I'm sorry to say BobS: now that IS tight Goerge BobS: farn dingers George: me to rich-c: naw, George, it's just that your keyboard can't spell George: me too rich-c: - rich-c: whoops - chat has lost me again - will reenter - triplets?
