Matt-Man Elaborates

Hail and well met

To respond to my previous posts single comment. The Matt-Top is the lap top that Matt-Man uses. It is a marvelous piece of technology. Ah technology, without it we would all be eaten by the predators (thanks Jack for that bit of whimsy logic).

Oh and Joe I do respond to my Emails. But when you ask me for something that I used in the days of 3D and given that I just remodeled the Matt-Cave (my room for Joe) it is going to require an act of God to find that particular piece of paper. Now as I know you don't have the time to fill out the needed papers in triplicate to have God step in and make it appear I am working on recreating it. So be patient.

Oh yeah and since I had to reformat the Matt-Top yet again cut me some slack. I hate viruses. Especially the one called "Klone". Cause it is the cause of this reformat. Nothing I could do would get rid of it and it was killing my laptop.

The real pain is that with the slow as connection that I have trying to update windows is almost impossible. By the time it even comes close to completing an update I already have something eating at my system. GAH it is so damn frustrating!

Oh and don't even mention "Service Pack 2". I don't have 14 hours for it to down load. What a bright idea. Lets make an important update that anyone using anything less then high speed greesed lightning conection cannot upload without devoting have a day or so. SCHMUUCKS!

OH well it is just the same for cassetes. Yeah I know that some of you are going "What are those?". Trust me one day your kids will be shoving chips in their brains and you will remember CD's and DVD's with fond memories. Yeah and you will feel old too. HA!

So I have also been trying to update Terri's old comptuer. It is a HP Pavillion 4530 with Windows 98 on it. Well the BIOS is not APCI or ACPI or AICP compatible so I cannot put Windows 2ooo pro on it. I tried to find an updated BIOS but no luck. So left with that I tried to load Windows Office 2000 but something went wrong and I don't know if it was just the computer or if they are not compatible. Either way it would be nothing more then a glorified word processor with its whoping 4 gig hard drive. Yeah remember when that was HUGE? Damnit I feel so damn old. I can remember when 3.5 floppy's were the new kid on the block.

So what is this post about? Well just venting some steam over the waste of a day trying to improve my technological state.

Oh well I have the joy of knowing that several of the collage bound 37 inchers will be in town tomorrow and I will be spending most of the day at the loft painting. Then Saturday I go up to see Terri, her dad and a wolves game. Then spend a week or more there while she is on vacation.

Ah I am so looking forward to that.

Ok well I am looking at the time and I need to go to sleep. I will post again tomorrow since I will have access to the Ben-tron 10000 (Bens computer at the loft Joe). I may try and up load a picutre or two if I can get things to work.

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!

PS Joe I will be sending you my best recreation of that thingy soon.
