FredK: what is that? rich-c: the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan owns a big chunk of Maple Leaf Gardens, the parent club rich-c: the better the Leafs do at the gate, the easier it is for them to pay my pension - even maybe upgrade it FredK: really, now all they need is the teaching! FredK: Actually Montreal needs alot of teaching these years!! rich-c: a number of teh pension funds are big partners in a lot of top Canadian companies rich-c: anyway, I thought Montreal was in a bit of a renaissance right now rich-c: tempered of course by rage over the amalgamation FredK: we will have to see them in action, then believe it... rich-c: a propos, I gather that the topiary exhibition down in Old Montreal has been expanded and updated FredK: Speaking of a Hockey exhibition strickly? rich-c: no, the topiary - that's the plants trimmed to special shapes FredK: lol rich-c: besides, with the Hockey Hall of Fame, we have all teh hockey we need here!

FredK: must be murder for ppl trying to get to work! rich-c: so right - I cannot imagine why they didnt give up trying rich-c: we wanted to find the computer museum but it was in the process of moving, and down rich-c: of course the low-lifes never told us this on their website even though I checked it the day before FredK: there must be an Adam in a computer museum! rich-c: we took a taxi from what they said was teh old location to the new rich-c: well, we never got to fins out - though some collections have them rich-c: if the Smithsonian has one, though, it's not part of the public exhibits rich-c: anyway, if some day I get down that way again, maybe I'll go see if Boston shows one rich-c: check - you still there? FredK: yes sorry about that, was on the moon there... rich-c: yes, when it goes dead, we never know if you've been booted or just got quiet FredK: true rich-c: speaking of which, wonder where everyone else is tonight?

Guy B.: Me Pamela: aww Judy: Hi, Guy rich-c: next you'll be complaining you're in a different time zone, too :-) Pamela: I was hoping you had a hot date Guy B.: Made enough pasta for tomorrow as well. FredK: instead he made a hot meal. Judy: had to go check out the fish, they are busy tonight, it is so warm out Pamela: sheesh, you and Kimberly - always planning ahead Guy B.: Well Aimee and I went to the computer show on Sunday. Pamela: good - how did it go? rich-c: and how did that go? Pamela: (who says I'm not my father's daughter?) Guy B.: She bought a new copy of WinXp pro and Office XP. I bought a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card which I'm going to return. Won't work with Win95B. Only Win98 on up. Pamela: sheesh, Guy, where's the romance in that??? rich-c: I hate to say I told you so - but then you're the one who told me that in the first place! Guy B.: We did go to lunch after the show. Pamela: well, okay, it's a start rich-c: should ruddy well hope so! Guy B.: Rich, will that card that you have work with the old USB standard? Guy B.: At least I can return the thing to the company I bought it from. Pamela: I'm sorry we're teasing Guy, it's just that we're so hopeful that you'll find someone who appreciates you the way they should rich-c: yes, I don't have the laptop copy of 98SE patched for 2.0 but the card works fine Guy B.: I have to download a file from Compaq's website on installing Win98 on the Armada before I do anything. rich-c: I also have an 8 gig external hard disc runs off the PCMCIA port rich-c: since I had the upgrade edition I just put that over 95 - absolutely no sweat Guy B.: One thing I did find out is I can buy a replacement floppy drive for the Armada. The one I have now cannot read or write a disk. rich-c: wasn't going to risk it on my new computer till I'd tried it out so the laptop got volunteered Guy B.: I don't have the upgrade to Win98. I have the full version, hence it won't work. BobS: well that is not good rich-c: oh, you can buy a replacement for anything - it's just that so many replacements cost more than a new laptop Pamela: Hey Dad, do you have the windows open? I think I can hear the concert from here, and if I can you certainly should be able to Guy B.: The new drive cost $64. To me that's not bad. rich-c: yes, they;re open, but I'm not hearing anything Pamela: okay, I must be hearing someone's stereo then rich-c: I think we were supposed to have an east wind tonight so that might explain it BobS: I can belive that Pam.....today it is not ggod unless it is LOUD Pamela: Bob, if you saw the stack of speakers up there at the park, you would believe you're hearing it yourself BobS: Guy, when you coming into convention?????? rich-c: frankly I'm surprised we aren't hearing it, as we can usually hear the aircraft up there FredK: Have to go now, Good night all, take care, Cya next wed.

AC15: Bob, it described the points in the operating system that can be used to perform various tasks, like Daniel Bienvneu: EOS is not OS7... they are similar for some points but the goal is not the same and the calls are not the same too. rich-c: Pam, if you could make one copy (700 pp, but double-sided) we could send that to Daniel AC15: opening a file, writing to a file, putting a character on the screen..... etc etc Pamela: By all means Dad AC15: there are operating system functions that do all of that AC15: If you know Z80 assembler, you don't need basic Daniel Bienvneu: I'va to go now... someone he's waiting for me outside...
