Re: WHEN YOU POST A QUESTION ---

Much better here on the UNIX forums than on the PC business forums.

A lot of those state, with no other added data..

My PC will not turn on

What CPU do I need to upgrade my computer

What video card do I need to upgrade my video


I added a stick of memory and my computer does not work now

Really, people, more information is a good thing.

Now even better questions follow

what do I do with this plug thingy

I pushed every button but I still can't get it to work

why doesn't the cup holder come out when I want it to

Paula: the problem with your crystal ball is, you USED to be a wizard, but that thing stops working once you get promoted to King (er, Queen).

So, forget about the batteries, and keep the good suggestions coming.

Incidentally, I agree with you wholeheartedly, but as has been mentioned... well, the choir is in full voice here, but none of the offenders even read posts from others, so they ain't listening.

At least you're not getting beaten up as badly as poor Harry, with whom I agree, but, what's the point? (Oh, I get it...)

Regards, and thanks, I feel better already.

Re: WHEN YOU POST A QUESTION ---

Well all I can say is that if you can get everyone to give the right info up front, that makes my pot of miracles, magic wand, and a few other tools I have in my tool kit completely obslete. And yes I DO actually have one at my work desk in HP. I put it together a few months ago, for fun.
That means I have to retire.

I like that idea ;-]

Re: WHEN YOU POST A QUESTION ---

Hi

Good morning to all Bruces and Bruces.

I do not know who is the dafter - Me for putting daft comments in postings or you lot for picking up the torch and running with it.

Well I suppose that is what makes this forum so special -The people who give up their time to assist others.

Well done to all of you and may your God go with you.

Love Paula

Bruce,

I don't care if we always reply bruce, just as long as bruce gives me points for good answers.

Never have visited london to try the food or the pubs. I do know a couple of places around Deer Island, Oregon USA.. Believe me that there are only a couple!
