@joey_zozo So far, so good. I got everything up and running that I normally need. It'll take time to see if anything really annoys me, but I haven't hit on any problems yet.
@joey_zozo How did you get Windows 7 for $20?
@joey_zozo This exercise is proving educational.
@joey_zozo No worries. Though you may be right that the systems have generally gotten better over time. When you said that you were annoyed with XP, my first thought was, "What do you mean? That was the OS where you didn't have to bounce comms every time you disconnected the ethernet cable, and Plug-nPlay finally started behaving..."
@joey_zozo Did you try any of this? https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-fix-an-internet-explorer-dns-error
@joey_zozo What was giving you trouble with your vm?
@joey_zozo Did you get it running?
@joey_zozo Whoops. Wrong file. Darn it.
@joey_zozo Here, I've put it in my Dropbox for you. Let me know what you think. https://www.dropbox.com/s/djzdiktevau70et/WWWC2%20Vendor%20Info.zip?dl=0
@joey_zozo If you do, I found what appears to be a copy of the old sheep program. Then again, I found it on the internet, so it might be a virus. Let me know if you want it. I wouldn't try using it outside of a VM, just in case.
@2ck I like that better, I think.
@joey_zozo Isn't that just when folks get together to freeze and drink?
@joey_zozo Small world! There's not much partying here. Between Covid and George Floyd, things are subdued.
I'm not really the outdoorsy-type, but I'll be sad if we can't go to the orchard in the fall.
@joey_zozo It's hot, but not Phoenix hot.
@joey_zozo Minneapolis suburbs.
@joey_zozo Ah. I lived there for awhile. Doesn't everyone typically hide out during the daytime in the summer? Stay in the shade..
@joey_zozo Phoenix? Somewhere in Texas?
Heya. I'm a child of the 80's, engineer, nerd, and frustrated optimist. While well-versed in many of the geeky arcana of topics, I am particularly involved in coding, anime, and JRPGs. Outside of that, I garden on and off, sew, and am actively involved in a long campaign to force myself to get some exercise. I look forward to meeting some new folks and maybe working on some interested projects.
