the time reverser(aka "way back machine") is rather limited in its
function due to incompatibility with WindowsXP,NT,2000. therefore it still runs Win98 and can only go back to dates between 1998 and 2000(Y2k bug). my advice would be to try superglue or paperclips. although this could be tricky depending on the amount of pieces. one thing we highly recommend on this NG is a good Service Manual. it will help you to identify those nasty components like the FBT and fully charged line caps. of course if the job looks too big then "professional help" may be needed. if money is a problem you could always make extra cash cutting wood (if the blade is still ok). or you could sell the chainsaw.

Yet another typical reply from a home DIY'er. Real professionals know that the proper solution for this problem is duct tape, and checking/resoldering the HOT. Another thing.....about those FBT's. Real computer geeks don't need no stinkin' CRT displays. Just some switches, buttons, and blinky lights are all that's needed for the true connoisseur. Well, on second thought, maybe a few (boxes of) Hollerith cards would be nice, but absolutely no sequence numbers allowed. if money is a problem you could always make extra cash cutting wood (if the blade is still ok). or you could sell the chainsaw. He may also wish to consider making a movie in Texas. HTH, HAND ;-) |

Be sure to use the proper gas/oil mixture, and keep the chain properly tensioned. They tend to stretch a bit with the first few uses. jak |

I hope you cut up the hdd while you were busy with the chainsaw! Otherwise some wiseass agency type will probably use a super duper electron microscope to check your porn out! Now, the serious question - was it the porn download that crashed the computer? They no longer repair "IT", IT is outsourced. someone |

Unless you delete the crosspost address. I didn't, but my news server didn't resolve that group anyway. At least it wasn't one of those 'fake-sincere' requests that these guys sometimes post.... jak Micahel |

I think he needs a gallon of epoxy, and let it dry overnight.
Since it is this time of the year, for a request for a new computer in case that the epoxy doesn't stick too well, he can write a letter to: Santa Clause 1 North Pole Rd. N. North Pole (Above North Canada) H9Z 1Y9 North Pole He still has time, since the mail air drop is about once a week, weather permitting. We have a weather forecast that is from the closest observation point possible. http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/forecast/city_e.html?WGZ What is good about this region, is that the weather is very constant all year around. From the end of January, to about the beginning of March however, temperatures can drop to about -60 on the average. So, it is still very mild for that area at this time of the year. It is still a good time for a vacation over there, respectively. Just make sure you have lots of woollies on when you go outside for a stroll. Text Forecast from Environment Canada Grise Fiord: Issued 11.00 AM EST Thursday 16 December 2004 Today .. Clear. High minus 36. Tonight .. Clear. Low minus 37. Friday .. Clear. High minus 34. Saturday .. Clear. Low minus 37. High minus 32. Sunday .. Clear. Low minus 35. High minus 29. Monday .. Clear. Low minus 32. High minus 29. Normals for the period .. Low minus 27.

I like the idea of the epoxy, but you guys were a little off on the area of application! g Regards Lee in Toronto |
