I have a favor to ask.
Will someone please forward the gallery
announcement from last Saturday, 12 July?
And I'm interested in the ink sellers that were mentioned prior to my
hard drive crashing.
Thanks,

Hi Bob, I went looking for the info on the inks and can't seem to find my emails. I've been sending change of email address to so many sites lately and just closed out my old dial up service. I'd like to get that info again too. Sorry to bother everyone again, but where do all of you purchase your printer inks. The printer doesn't matter. Just what you think is the BEST place to buy inks in your opinions. Thanks and sorry for having to ask again.

 Re: I have a favor to ask.
Atlex.com (Atlantic Exchange) give the best prices on brand names like
Epson, HP
and I used Clinkink.com for my last purchase of generic stuff for my
old Epson 1270 printer.

that's a sense of security that's frightening!
Apple don't make hard drives (nor much at all really..) so you're using
the same drives everyone else uses.
I get business recovering hard drives for mac users who have never, ever
backed up because they thought macs infallible (!) Admittedly the
turnover of machines seems higher with a lot of mac users, so I guess
the drives aren't seeing as much life as some intel/amd desktops and
laptops, but..
please people, don't think it'll last just because it has an apple badge
on it ! Data recovery costs *a lot*

Well, while I´m a staunch Mac addict (bought an iPhone 3G a few days
ago...), hard drives are almost the only things that are NOT any
better in Mac´s. They´re just the same ones as Microsloth boxes use,
since they come from the same manufacturers.
One difference is that Mac discs don´t get fragmented the way Windoze
ones do, and that MIGHT reduce mechanical wear to some extent. Also,
the latest OS (Leopard) comes with an easy-to-use (I´d almost say
"difficult-to-not-use"...) backup solution that probably will save you
in case of a HD crash.
So, DO get a Mac, better yet, get several! But just not for this
reason.....

Re: I have a favor to ask.
One advantage of AOL is that it keeps the book marks online so when you
connect from another computer in another place or when you reload your C
drive they are still there.

RE: I have a favor to ask.
This is hardly a reason
to use AOL. If keeping your bookmarks with you is so very important,
then put a copy of them on a thumb drive.
The answer to the
poster's problem really is simple, but constantly ignored by 99.44% of the
world: BACK YOUR DATA UP. MASS STORAGE IS NOT
"FOREVER". DISKS EVENTUALLY
CRASH. (rarely, but eventually).
AOL is so functionally
substandard in almost every way, is so
technically non standard, and puts its tentacles
down in places where you would never expect to see them. It almost takes
on a life of its own once installed, and it is VERY
difficult to uninstall. (And if you try to uninstall it, it will tell you that
it did uninstall, but it in fact does not uninstall. Instead, it leaves a
huge numbers of settings, ini files, registry entries, ..., for you to find and
remove by hand.)
Perhaps one of the most
egregious problems is that AOL locks you into webmail in the AOL domain and
deliberately doesn't allow POP3 mail. This means that once you have and
use an AOL mail address, you are obligated to use AOL via the web to get
your mail (whether via browser or AOL's mail client is not of
consequence). Now: think about changing your provider. 30
bazillion people already know you as zork123@.... Now you want to get POP3 mail from your new
provider. How do you download your old AOL mail using the same
process? Answer: you don't. You still need to get your AOL
mail by web access.
I cannot see any reason
why anyone would use AOL for any purpose, when better and safer software which
does everything AOL does and more is available freely or nearly freely. (Unless,
that is, you support paying your money for watching infomercials and
advertisements in their "portal".)
And, oh: back your
data up.

I guess rarely is subjective. While I didn't replace a
hard drive daily while carrying a tool bag for IBM for forty years, I
did replace a number of them. I probably replaced more hard drives
than any other component. Hard drives had the largest number of
installed devices so that would explain the number of replacements. As
time went on we replaced fewer since while the number increased, the
technology got better and a lot more reliable. If memory serves me
right, I retired two years ago, one array had a minimum configuration
of 32 hard drives.
Customers also bought large tape "arrays" that were capable of many
terabytes of storage for backup. Most had provisions for off site
secure storage of the individual tapes.

When we first got ThinkPads some of my co-workers
installed the 'free' trials of AOL. They discovered that they could
not access our intranet. The fix was usually a total format of the hard
drive and a complete reload of the work applications. It just proved
the old saying, "There are no free lunches"

RE: I have a favor to ask.
You use AoHell because you can't figure out how to store bookmarks in
your browser so you need the horoscope ads that come up when you
launch you AoHell app.
That's why you use AoHell.

Re: I have a favor to ask.
I only had one of my 15 hard drives burn out and that was because of the
power unit of the computer burnt up. Only the C drive went under and none of the
data drives. A couple of years ago I got software with a hard
drive that allowed one to make a functional backup of the C drive.
To use POP3 one has to leave your home computer on all the time to be able
to down load your mail to a "remote" computer. If you want you can store your
email online on AOL or just keep it marked as new if you want to respond
from another computer in a few days. I believe AOL storage limit is 5 gigs so if
you need more than that you need to get a service like SmugMug.
Getting rid of computer programs completely is always a problem. I still
have Norton stuff in my registry even though I removed the program with Window.
Then removed it with a removal program from Norton web site.

I use AOL because it does everything I need done and I actually don't use a
browser outside of AOL except in rare cases to see if a website displays
correctly in the Window's Internet Browser.

Re: I have a favor to ask.
I'm sorry, Roy. I didn't mean you. I meant the sort of plural you
of the mob out there. I have a friend who will not use Safari, or
Apple Mail, because they don't work like AoHell and she simply can't
live without her horoscope links.
And this woman was raised a Unitarian, to boot!

Huh? I didn't know that so when we left home for a
month I went to my ISP's webmail site and had everything forwarded to a
gmail account I use when I'm on the road. Oh, yeah, my computer at
home was turned off for the month I was gone. And from the amount of
mail I got, I guess I got it all.

This is true with a lot of software,
Now if the weather cools of I can get back to photography. Almost 90F
is just too hot in the sun!

Re: I have a favor to ask.
Tsk tsk, :) I can go a lot more with aol email then I can with others--just depends on how you work it--I dont bother with my "horror"scope, I let that surprise me.
A lot I do with the email involves genealogy - really neat--now you want to talk H__l--try getting dsl out in the boonies and having 6 weeks worth of tech support--hey, the folks in India got to know me by first name! FINALLY it works the way it should, I was on a mission, I would NOT give up, and every time it went out, I was hot on the phone, they knew it--no temper tantrums, just get the thing working-boy what a mess it was and all I really needed was a different model modem!
