:) Thanks... the 486/50 in question used to run but it and some others had not been working on prime recently as I had started to run into system errors as the versions got newer.
So I though with the new 22.9.1 why not give it a shot. The strange thing (as reported in a separate post) is that after a day and a half the 2250 went away and it got an assignment. When I started up a second one yesterday it got an assignment right away. (about 3 hrs after the 1st had gotten one)... SO I am glad they are useful again.. even with a 6 or 7 month factor time frame. :) ... We just keep trucking along. regards to all... Michael..
