Dr. D.: Hi Bob Dr. D.: Rin says it's early for you :-) Dr. D.: (she is on the phone right now) Roberto: AH HA Roberto: no way mon....tis the bewitching hour of 9pm here ya know Dr. D.: She said you were more a 10 PM kind of guy. Roberto: went and looked at the wedding announcement, watched the cd yo sent to the con Roberto: and loved it !!!!! Dr. D.: Great! Dr. D.: I heard that Dale's computer didn't like to play the DVD... Roberto: NOW, question, DID we actually watch it @ AC10 or was it buried along the way ????? Roberto: watched it onthe dvd at home Dr. D.: I dunno, I wasn't there. Dr. D.: I tested it on 2 different DVD players, it was fine. Roberto: methinks it was sidelined and not seen at all, but can't remember that far back Dr. D.: Sigh :-S Roberto: was it send to AC10 on VCR tape or DVD ????? Dr. D.: There were no DVDs in 1998 :-)
moved to room Meeting Place Roberto: ahso
changed username to Guy B.
moved to room Meeting Place Dr. D.: It was a tape.\ Guy B.: Greetings!!!! Roberto: therefore it was vcr tape and possibly not even seen Roberto: hi Guy
changed username to Judy Guy B.: HI Bob Guy B.: Hi Dr D Dr. D.: I thought someone told me back then about the Tony Morehen/Patterson mixup I made... Dr. D.: Hi Guy. Roberto: so is Rin online also....coming Guy B.: HI Judy Roberto: or just phoned up Dr. D.: No, she is going to bed, the party pooper Roberto: oh man Judy: Hi, Dr D, Guy, and Bob Dr. D.: Hi Judy. Guy B.: Must have had a long day Dr. D.: She has only dialup at home, I was on headset and DSL. Dr. D.: Not as long as mine :-S Judy: we were watching you last night, Dr D Roberto: oh oh......now what ???? Dr. D.: Got benefits, life insurance taken care of...no problems, just long paperwork. Dr. D.: And long phone calls...got the DSL split off so Joan has her own account (I was paying for both the house and the apartment). Dr. D.: Alas, when they did the split, instead of leaving mine alone and giving her a new account, they left hers alone and created a new one for me -- which deleted my entire mailbox. Dr. D.: The tech support guy was surly, like well duh, the billing guy who did the switch was OMG I forgot about that! Dr. D.: Got the info for refinancing the Caravan in Joan's name, that is really the last biggie...then the rest of the car and insurance swap can take place. Dr. D.: Lots of legwork today. Dr. D.: But a lot of it bounces back into her court for a while. Roberto: kinda forgot about all them details.......can be a real can of trouble, eh ?? Dr. D.: It is all going well...sad thing is, we wanted to do all this stuff months ago, only none of the external parties would move on anything without the judge's signature. Roberto: figues Roberto: figures Judy: they are like that Dr. D.: Of course, I have just been telling people that I have the docs, and they take my word for it :-S Dr. D.: Even the girl in CWRU benefits admin today never even looked at the signed/sealed/official copy... Roberto: with no proof now right ????? ridiculous Dr. D.: I suppose I could have just told them anything. Dr. D.: Yes, it is ridiculous. Dr. D.: Over the phone with the ISP for the DSL, with the car loan people, with State Farm, same thing. Roberto: well, it takes that confident look that you can back up your words that they want to see Dr. D.: So much for taking them at their word that they need "proof". Dr. D.: haha Roberto: right Dr. D.: The bank was especially nauseating because the loan gal was telling me, oh just have Joan call and apply for the refinancing loan, use the account number... Dr. D.: 4 months ago when she just called to ask what would have to be done, they wouldn't talk to her at all, because she wasn't me. Judy: isn't that par for the course Dr. D.: And I told this to the loan gal on the phone and she was kinda taken aback, "Really?" Roberto: yup. new gal..........sounds familiar......one hand knoweth not what the other hand doeth Judy: that is why you have to get the names of the people that you talk to Dr. D.: I guess this is why fraud is so easy, they have this draconian stuff in place "for your protection", but in actual practice, they don't use it. Dr. D.: haha Judy...the 800 number was to a call center in India...I have had too many Indian students... Roberto: RIGHT !!!!! I had an eye exam today and had to sign a hypa form !!!!!! GET REAL Dr. D.: "Lena" was probably Sumantha Krishnamurthyvenkatasubramanian... Judy: yes, but then you can throw that back at them when you find out that someone led you wrong Dr. D.: I would hope so...but Bombay is a long way away... Roberto: not Bombay anymore, the tv called it something else.......... Judy: why is it that all these other countries are taking over our business Dr. D.: At least the billing guy at the ISP in Pittsburg said he would call Joan at home to get her started with the switchover; he did, and she gave him her credit card info etc. Roberto: tis now Mumbai !!!!!!! Dr. D.: Both DSLs were working tonight, whew, I told them that I wanted to do this with minimal to no interruption of service. Dr. D.: B-->M I guess Judy: and it worked??? Dr. D.: Hey, it is still Peking to me, none of this Bejing stuff Dr. D.: And it did...no problems except for them wiping my APKnet mailbox as part of the process Roberto: now get this..............Mumbai has a population of 13 milliion........only about 10 milliion MORE that Juarez Mexico @ AC16 !!!!!!! Dr. D.: I called the billing guy back after the tech support guy said too bad...to ask him to please in future tell people that any change to the account will cause it all to be wiped. Dr. D.: Doesn't NYC have 20 million? Roberto: can you IMAGINE the size of that city ?? Judy: and he cared Dr. D.: Mexico City 40 Million? Dr. D.: No way to know Judy. Roberto: to be sitting on a mountainside with ice cream looking at that................... Dr. D.: Probably not all that big, just humans packed in to the max... Roberto: like on top of each other maybe Dr. D.: Yeah... Dr. D.: In any case...I am glad you both were able to drop by the convention. Judy: yes, we were too Dr. D.: About the AC10 tape...my master had not been played since I made the dub tape that I mailed to PJ. Judy: had to see the people, missed seeing you and rin Dr. D.: It was still parked at the end, not rewound. Roberto: the suburbs make it a total of over 20 million Dr. D.: So it was only played that once, to make the dub. Dr. D.: We got a lot of wedding stuff done, probably in the long run spent the same money but better. Dr. D.: I am now totally set for the wedding, just waiting on Ontario to give its final okay, then we get the marriage license. Judy: it was fun seeing the robats again Dr. D.: I didn't record the whole afternoon, though the RealServer was streaming it out the whole time,. Dr. D.: Did you see the slideshow too? Roberto: the plan.......Ontario says yes quickly....then wasit ow long and why? for ??? Dr. D.: I should have structured the DVD menus a little better, not put the slideshow on the last page of SCENE SELECT Judy: yes, watched the whole thing, some was above me, though Roberto: maybe not slideshow......... Dr. D.: I had forgotten a lot of it too Judy. Roberto: did go thru the scenes...... Dr. D.: Go to last page of SCENE SELECT
moved to room Meeting Place Dr. D.: There is a slideshow of the digital photos I shot. Roberto: wil llhave alook at that then Dr. D.: It isn't mainlined with the rest of the video, if you just do PLAY VIDEO you won't see it. Judy: we will have to check that out Dr. D.: I left some instructions with Guy :-)

They're only about 20 seconds apart Roberto: James, I interpret taht you CANNOT copy it into ADAMEM like all the other disks you have ????? Judy: traffic was much heavier coming in the city, were glad we were leaving Roberto: If so, are you SURE it is an ADAM disk ????? Roberto: or some other variety David had.......... EastOfChicagoDrD: ANADISK on an old XT with genuine 320K drives :-) Ron of Chicago: are those the ones that came from David Cobley James? EastOfChicagoDrD: or 360K I meant james: @roberto, exactly. i can't read the disks with dcopy rich-c: oh yes, Pamela will likely join us later - after dinner wears off EastOfChicagoDrD: I may not be here that late, Richard. james: like i can with the ones that i'd made with my now defunct mi drive EastOfChicagoDrD: My day started at 5:45 AM EDT... james: so i can't even get an image to then fix with the convdisk utils EastOfChicagoDrD: hmmm... Ron of Chicago: dcopy a: something.dsk /s:x /h:x /t:x james: and it's *all* of his disks that he sent me i can't read. i can read all of mine but none of his, but i know they are adam disks EastOfChicagoDrD: What size disk were they supposed to be? rich-c: well, I do want to get over and pick up my refrigerator early EastOfChicagoDrD: Ask David then? james: well they say for the most part flippy floppy disk, so i'm assuming single sided standard adam disks Ron of Chicago: ok... so it's james: and on the labels say things like "insert media, pull reset" so i am assuming adam disks Ron of Chicago: s:8 h:1 t:40 EastOfChicagoDrD: But they don't read? james: dcopy a: mydisk.img /s:8 /t:40 /h:1 or something like that james: nope james: i get EastOfChicagoDrD: If flippies, that would imply 160K james: uhm.. what was that error james: bad address mark or something EastOfChicagoDrD: That's a format error, disk with bad sectors :-( Roberto: ok.....GUY LISTEN UP !!!!!!! can the utilities of ADAMEM read plain ADAM disks for content....without bein INSIDE Adamem ???? EastOfChicagoDrD: You need ANADISK Ron of Chicago: does it matter what you call it, .img or .dsk? Roberto: that is what ReadDisk was, no???????? Guy B.: No james: so does that mean they're toast? james: ANADISK Guy B.: You have to have a disk image present in order to read what's in there. james: file can be any name, ron as long as you specify it fully when loading it in the emulator EastOfChicagoDrD: It is an old formerly-shareware program from Sydex. Ron of Chicago: Would sure like to try them on an ADAM before declaring them toast Roberto: may ALL be in SpeedyWrite format....and that doesn't have an end mark....if I remember EastOfChicagoDrD: It would auto-ID all kinds of disks, show low-level format info... james: ok, so ANADISK would allow me to read these on my pc with a genuine 360k drive? EastOfChicagoDrD: let you recover stuff james: nice EastOfChicagoDrD: Yes james: how hard is it to get ahold of? Ron of Chicago: I may have it at home James EastOfChicagoDrD: Of course Sydex became a data recovery company for police departments and pulled their shareware products. rich-c: as in, what comes up when you search it in Google? Ron of Chicago: runs in my mind that it is part of the set that I bought from Sydex. Along with 22Disk and 22Nice james: ron, that would be most helpful EastOfChicagoDrD: I have it on the HD image of one of the disks from my now-dead 486. Roberto: James.......goto my website; ANN disks, download 22disk and try to convert it to a dos file.....IF there are text files on the disk, you will be able to read them in dos EastOfChicagoDrD: It is just a single .EXE file, not very large by modern standards. EastOfChicagoDrD: But whatever you do...MAKE SURE YOU WRITE_PROTECT THE DISKS. rich-c: Pamela has just srrived Ron of Chicago: What breed is the 5-1/4 inch drive in your dos box James? EastOfChicagoDrD: don't go fiddling with them if they are write-enabled...don't want to make any changes by accident. EastOfChicagoDrD: Hi Pam. Judy: hi, Pam Ron of Chicago: double density or high density? Roberto: Hi Pam EastOfChicagoDrD: Rin is looking after Inky...he is getting lonesome and clingy I hear.

Pamela: that's good news Rich EastOfChicagoDrD: The Ministry that has the paperwork now apparently just notifies the City Hall of the town identified as to where the wedding will take place...and Rin's friends in that Ministry are supposed to get a heads-up when it is actually being sent. Ron of Chicago: some of the image files are in IYG format which is a compressed CP/M image. you need CRLZH.COM to open them EastOfChicagoDrD: So now it is out of my hands...I am ready to get married... Pamela: woohoo! That makes life easier Ron of Chicago: and you have to be on the TDOS side of the house. Roberto: ok don't forget that, because I will prolly ask you again Ron of Chicago: imagine you would then use CLONE.COM to prepare the actual EOS image EastOfChicagoDrD: Ring, tux, chapel, reception, hotels all taken care of.
