Today must have been GMO's catch-up day because I got great vape mail too... the last two wins from vape Tree: six bottles of juice and they all smell so yummy, I don't know which one to try first (probably the famous Banyan Tree). Anyway, thanks bunches @glassmanoak and I hope you are feeling a lot better now. Keep up the good work!

Welcome to ECF @Telmos and @DawgPaw Check out this neat contest thread where you can win some really good e-liquid just by chatting with the great folks who hang out here (see complete "rules" on page 1). Lots of fun here! Nicest people on the forum and you just might learn a thing or twelve...

My uncle had a Radio Shack computer that used the big floppies.

That must have been the TRS-80 Model II, if they were the big floppies.

My first (actually owned) computer was the TRS-80 Model III.

And then there is this: someone converted a TRS-90 Model 4 to a Windows 8 PC:

TRS-80 Runs Windows 8 and Virtual Machine

And with that, I'm going to gather myself together and run some errands...

Window updates were still installing when I left this morning. Done this afternoon waiting for a restat. Did that and looks like at least some failed. It's now reverting the changes. Got a feeling the process of getting it up to date is going to take days.

@mac63 good luck with those windows updates. I don't know what version of windows you are running on it, but last time i had one with windows 8 that failed to update and had to revert, it got stuck at the reverting changes screen and never finished. I had to power it off and do a factory reset on it.

@KatzWh1skers honestly I think you are right, my fiance has been trying to get me to go for a while now.. And truly it is not getting any better if anything it just keeps getting worse

Mandikay - do check in with a doctor if the problem is ongoing, particularly since you worry that it might impact your driving.

It's win7
The reversion went ok. Checked for updates again and there were a few - only 16. Doing an install on those. Been sitting on one for awhile but some of them do take a lot of time.

TIOA Sns 8 eps 58: Anjel waited for Count and Katz to come down. "Why did we come down the window, instead of through the door?" asked Katz. Anjel walked over to a window near the door and looked out a small section without touching the curtain. Katz walked over and looked, around eight soldiers were standing around the area. "Something is important around here, don't know what yet. So we have things to retrieve. Count you are going to stay on top of the roof, we will tie items to the rope and you bring it up; after everything is up, we will all bring it here."

Katz and Count nodded yes. Anjel moved some items under the window and scaled up, she only needed to jump up a little to get to the roof, Count and Katz followed, they went back down the way they came from. Katz tied off and Count and Anjel helped her to the walls, once Katz started down with Count's help, Anjel quickly went down to be the first on the ground, she went forward with a fast jog to the edge of the building to look around, it was clear; she waited for Katz and then motioned her to go first. Katz went out into the blackness, back towards the gear, Anjel watched for a little longer and then followed. They began to retrieve the items and took them to Count.

Katz told Anjel. "You keep tying off the stuff, I will get the rest." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." Katz got up and went back, there were only two bags, meow, the kitten looked up at her. "Shhh, time to be silent little one." She took the kitten and tucked it inside her shirt, Katz picked up the bags and looked, nothing; Katz ran to the darkness again, she stopped like they always did and heard voices and steps, she was not sure from where yet. She started down the path Anjel had shown them before, when two people turned onto the street in front of her, they had not seen her yet. The two were walking towards Katz.

TIOA Sns 8 eps 59: Katz made a decision and went forward as fast as she could and ducked between two buildings, she went down a way and stopped; it was so dark here she could not see yet, the kitten did not like the hard run and started acting up. Katz put her hand inside her shirt and petted the kitten, "It is okay." she whispered in a nice tone. The steps were getting closer, the kitten was still not pleased and jumped around, it let out a loud meow.

"Oh there is a cat around here, I love cats." said a female voice. "We already have two." said a male voice. "I just want to look." Katz wanted to move backwards some more, but she had not seen anything behind her yet. The steps were almost to the edge, Katz took the kitten out and let it go. The kitten went forward. "Here kitty, kitty." the couple came around the edge of the building, Katz could see them, their eyesight had not adjusted yet. The kitten went up to the woman and brushed up against her leg. "Oh look." the woman picked the kitten up and loved on it for a while "Isn't it darling." "Yes sweetie, but we have enough." "Fine." said the woman as set the kitten down. "I never get what I want." the woman stormed off, the man followed.

Katz went forward and grabbed the kitten back and started to pet it "Traitor." she whispered. Movement caught her eye and Anjel looked at her "That cat stays in the house from now on." Katz nodded yes, Anjel took one of the bags and went back to Count; Katz followed and put the kitten back in her shirt. She could feel the cold, cool, wet on her forehead. All the items were taken to the roof and back to their quarters, after bringing it all down; they were all tired. "Wow." said Anjel. "Right, is there something to drink?" asked Katz "Actually there is." Anjel walked over to a bottle with some cups nearby, she poured three drinks and took two over, she handed one to Count and Katz and went back for hers.

What happened in the middle of the twentieth century that will not happen again for 4,000 years?
The year 1961. It reads the same upside down. This will not happen again until the year 6009.

TIOA Sns 8 eps 60: "So you got the swords here?" asked Katz. "Well the swords are here, so in a way yes." replied Anjel, she took a sip of her drink and winked. "Oh that is cheating." said Count "of course you got the swords here, bought here, brought here, shipped here." "They are here." "Hmmm, go ahead Count." Katz took a sip and set the kitten down, it went to search the place and was gone. "No way it was made this well here, so it came from our time or another. Did you bring it with you?" asked Count. "Yes." she responded. "What? How?" asked Katz. "Are you kidding, with all the questions and people, the rush for us to go; did anyone actually look at the shape and sizes of my bags?"

"Fair enough, so have you found out anything?" asked Count. "Yes." answered Anjel. "I have found papers with your face on them, there is nothing on it but your face. I took one and walked around for a while and saw a boy who it seemed everyone knew; I got him to speak. Your wanted dead or alive, I am sure alive is for torture first. I have been able to get a few names, and cross checked one already. I am going to look for more information, and check out the other two people. You can help, Katz especially during the day. You can help get supplies during the day, I can when not sleeping; but most of my work will be at night. Count you can help during the night, but unless; well day time is not for you."

Count was not happy, he wanted to throw something; but everything he saw would break, make sound. Uh, he looked around and grabbed a flower and snapped it off at the stem. He threw it and watched with less than satisfaction as it more drifted to the ground. He looked at it for a moment, when the petals went up in the air splintered and then batted around with claws as the kitten took care of it. Count thought "I like this cat."

Yea, that's it!! The black one on top! I remember messing around on it but that's about all. He always liked toys!

Heading out for a walk now. I'll catch y'all later! Have a nice evening.

1. Oh boy have I been busy the last few days...never even had time to get back on here yesterday and today was just as busy...but we finished a big case today, I got a nice bonus, and tomorrow should hopefully be a bit less busy...keeping my fingers crossed that it will be.

All this talk of computers reminded that my new computer (bf bought me a new one for Mother's Day) should be in today...I won't get it until tomorrow though because it's at his house...he surprised me with it...I was going to get it and had asked him to look at it to see what he thought about it and he went ahead and bought it for me...that's going to let me give this computer to my son because his died and he's been using mine whenever I'm not around...I figured if I had to buy a new computer, I would be the one getting it and he could have my hand me down.

 

[CountBoredom]

Yay for the new computer, @angelphyre!

I've been informed that we're having an early dinner tonight. Good night, Treefam!

@mac63 glad the computer is OK. I really like windows 7. Windows 8 was horrible and I don't care for 10 either. Either way, windows updates take way too long and seem to come out way too often.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I should upgrade my home PC to Windows 10 from 7 while it's free. I have Windows 10 on my work computer, but I'm not used to it yet.
