Thanks Jan. I am just glad it is working now! I can get everything needed back on it this weekend. It will just take a lot of time!

just a thought but whenever i D/L a new program i choose save instead of open. that way you have the installer and you can put it on a cd for this type of problem

The updates is the killer here.

I got an external drive for that.

For the one I'm on though there is a separate hard drive that stores a copy of the main one. It actually updates itself every thirty days and keeps the last three or four copies.

Good morning everyone!

Thought for the day:

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

oh boy... I must be somewhere around 10th-rate:(...not insulting myself...just a fact...)

Good morning, everyone :)

It's fantastic to see Pammy posting again! :wub:

All caught up...and gotta run. Out of toiletries so that must be addressed swiftly. Hopefully I'll be up to posting tonight after work. :?:

It is best to wipe immediately afterwards :lol: have great day Lisa.

Hi Gang! Well, suddenly my Grand is not operating properly. It's blowing through atty's like mad, either making them too hot or they simply dont fire at all. I have Nebula for a backup, but does anyone know if Rob rebuilds Grands and the cost and turnaround time? I'm thinking the head is past is useable service life.

Good to see you, stranger!
I looked at the website, I thought repairs used to be listed, but can't find them now. I think my most expensive repair was 17.50 or something very close to that. I have no idea...shoot Rob a pm. I've seen him online today.
There are also some new videos that might help- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/356937-how-videos.html#post7969873

Quick check in before running out to PO, Banks, UPS store, Costco (first so I can get the UPS guys their cookies). I built my first wick using cotton cooking twine; like you use to tie fowl legs together before roasting/baking. Used suggestions from several REOnauts. I was pretty concerned about using cotton as my juice requires a dry-burn daily because of char build-up. Karen, and probably others, said that it would be easy to pull cotton wick out daily, dry burn coil, and then reinsert new wick. I'll go into more detail later, maybe with pics. I'm really liking it. Using 1.4 ohm, 30 kanthal, 5 winds around round toothpick, wick about 3mm after boiling/air drying, on Silver Grand. Pulled through using bent piece of 32 kanthal. The 30 ga Kanthal did become pretty brittle after tempering it, with kitchen torch, before making coil. I was going to do a quick build with silica 3 or 2.5mm. I torched it first and it fell apart with many shards of silica blowing off (ceiling fans). Even without putting it under the dissecting microscope, we keep in kitchen, I could see with my be-speckled old eyes that I didn't want to put that stuff into my lungs as much as I've been doing. The silica basically fell apart after torching. BTW... I built this for ERA that has about the tiniest posts and holes and very narrow space between posts. The magnifying hood helped immensely. I have a very nice one but can't find it so I ordered a cheap one from Amazon; <$10. This is the first time I've used hood to build wicks. Makes it so much easier!!!!

Off and running. Hope all are well or getting better.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Got most of my programs loaded on my laptop! It is running just fine.

I figured out that if I got a new one I would have to load stuff anyway! Sure helps with Firefox having the sync! I was able to get all my bookmarks, passwords and other stuff from my desktop Firefox! Even the add-on's were transferred!

It is very fast now. Should not have any problems when I take it to work. It was tough not being able to get online this morning.

Just might make that at least 6 year old laptop last another few years!
