OK, thanks for the confirmation! I've been kind of busy since this morning and was afraid to shut it down or let it go to sleep. TPiwowar wrote: On Aug 23, 2009, at 10:50 AM, Jordan wrote: I think I had tried that at one point last night, but in any case, it didn't start it just now when I

I have a perfectly good fax modem that connects to a serial port, and no reason for buying a new one. The new computer doesn't have a built-in modem. I could connect the serial modem with a USB to serial adapter, but that's a nuisance. Or you could just use an IP-based fax service. Throw it

Hey Tom, seeing as you are so far into the future, can you give us some stock tips or maybe some of tomorrows headlines? ;-) Right now I'm trying to convince our dear retro members to stop using serial ports and floppies. I expect my next crusade will concern parallel ports. I think it will be
