Jeezzz...they should came sanwiched between two thick pieces of cardboard appropriately sized. At the very least!

 

I need to get a new one for mine.... this last one always has fingerprints on it. Kinda irritating....

 

You got a used one? Those injections kicking in yet white?

Taking a trip to the airport this morning, the daughter and grandson are heading south, tired of winter. It's 12* here (feels like 5) currently. My brother texted it's cold as shii in Florida right now lol. Hope it warms up and they have a good time.

 

LOL, no. Just not very decent quality. It smudges too easily.

 

Went back home, pretty much all the attractive (1 and she looked pissed off ) and very talkative woman (talked right in my face, like 2" between noses...I noticed at least 3 root canals) left me at the airport anyway...So, the kids are in the air and on their way..it's a 3 hour flight from MI to the sunshine state.

 

Is this Doc?

 

Nah, my daughter ,grandson and I while seated at the terminal waiting to board, had an hour to burn. It was mostly elderly folks, getting away from Michigan for awhile.

 

Elderly folks take a b-line outta Salt Lake for the winter every year. The elderly couple that lives behind me, and many many others, all go to St. George, UT for the winter.

Been working on an XP machine off and on all day, between interruptions.... can't believe I thought this OS was superior at one time, LOL. Trying to move a HD into another machine is proving to be a bigger PITA than it's worth. Got to see the BSOD with the classic "7B" message several times today.

 

Yea but, I was thinking it was kind of strange for them to be leaving, towards end of the season anyway. Perhaps they just couldn't take it anymore and decided to bug out at the last minute lol.

Did you see this yet, -

The computer (BIOS) will see the drives just fine. Windows XP will BSOD during install unless you have the sata drives running in a legacy mode or during the XP install there should be an option to load drivers if there are any available but you will need them on a disk the installer can read. I believe the mode you want is "RAID AutoDetect / ATA"

Shoulda mentioned that I went in and changed the driver on the IDE Controller to Standard Dual Controller, and got it to boot to the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, but I get no keyboard once it hits XP, and the mouse freezes after 10 seconds. Trying to figure out a way around it. Tried USB and PS2 peripherals. Thanks for the link, I'll poke around in there.
