seaspray,

Netscape can be a bit funky with javascript and the such. There is another poster that can't get GS on explorer and has to use netscape. There are some other browers out there you could try that are very fast... Camino, Opera and Mozilla. Mozilla, I believe, is where netscape developed from.

TSRTS,

Most of the brand of reasoning is done by me thank you very much. It, for the most part, based on the number of posts that you have made. It is not directed at you individually.

I've made some adjustments to the forum setup and had a tech look at it also.

Have you noticed an increase in the speed of the forum as of 4/4/03?

As Zix said call Dell.

2.5 ghz will do you fine

512 megs of RAM

120 gig hard drive (for your music)

CD Burner

if you are going to do gaming the nifty flat screen thingy might not be for you. They don't do real well with games.

Ask for a router, wireless 802.11g

with that you will need two wireless devices one for each computer

Then get a warranty that will get in house service for your computer.

Someone may want to add to this, but you can just read this over the phone and get what you need.

Another possibility is to find a local shop that will build it for you.

Don't buy an Intel motherboard. I tried that on my last system and regret it.

The acrylic cases are fun to look at but not great. The ones with the acrylic sides but metal everywhere else is probably most practical.

You can use neon to embellish it.

I've had great luck with the ASUS boards in the past year.

Psalmie,

I am about 80 per cent sure this will be the chat room we stick with. I will let you know definitively within a week

I am going to be trying one other option this week.

Okay the main room is now working. There was a setting that Parachat fixed for me

For all the well wishes.

Boy do I have a lot of catching up to do!!!

I am having a pleasant journey.

My first stop was to visit with Kit Sober. A wonderful time was had. We talked about everything from GS to fruitcakes. She is one of the few gems around. Don't miss a chance to meet her, if you get that chance.

I then spent a few very slow days going through Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. The roads were pretty slick.

But I made it through and am now on my way to meet with Onegod in Denver.

I am having loads of fun....

I am going to be in the Denver area as well as the Chicago area in the next two weeks.

If anyone is interested in getting together for a mini GS get together, let me know.

I may be going to some other spots too, so stay tuned.

I deleted it.

You don't have to wonder why. It DID get out of hand.

I have been looking for a reliable alternative for a while now.

The chatroom will return, meanwhile make use of the Yahoo one that Garth got started.

I have a software vendor that absolutely blames glitches on sunspots AND has been able to show me news stories that correspond with the days we had the problems.
