Father-in-law's Puter
Dec 29^th, 2008 at 8:38pm

My Father-in-law hosed up his computer on Saturday (needs it so he can watch his two stocks, one $70 and one $80) Grin

. He called yesterday and asked if I could reload it and upgrade it. I agreed to it as long as I would have two days to mess whit it. He dropped it off at 2pm Sunday. The phone is ringing at 10:30 this morning and he is giving me the withdrawal snivel.

I had the new HD and OS updated to SP3, MP11, and IE7 by 10pm. All the WP (Acrobat, MS office, WP) programs and AV by 11:30 and gave up for the night.

The dam Earthlink socket program sucks! It’s been a long time since I have had to do a snail connection… Then I kept having issues with IE connecting of course, but I could connect outlook express and it worked until restart of course.

I got at all wrapped up this afternoon at 4pm and he was here from 70mi away in no time… I even transferred all his bookmarks and email/address book in Outlook.

Tell me where you can get service like that? I know I got it right because I don’t wana hear back about it at all.

Roland.

A big w00t for Roland,

I hope you put a stock ticker in his panel so he doesn't even have to bring up a browser.

I even learned something. I had no idea people still used IE or Outlook. I also didn't know people identified OS's by their patch level. If any 'doze users bother me I will send them your way. I am sure that I scared them away with a LART so don't worry.

I do feel for you. I recently had to VNC into a box because Microsoft software wouldn't install on a Microsoft OS ( you can guess which one, SP-4) I didn't realize how useless the command line is on a Microsoft windows product.

I wonder why it is that every single time Paul or Kirk are in a thread that I read...my mind goes blank. Grin

and make me wonder how I got as far on a computer that I have....Paul? Kirk? I hope you know I love you. I just don't ever understand a word of what you're saying.
