There isn't a greenwithjealousy smiley is there?

¦M¦

Not yet, but it's probably been suggested over at the Proposed Smileys page.

Oh I hope so!

¦M¦

hey it's a big jump for me, P75Mhz to a 1.4Ghz (sorry misup), It it what I call a marked inprovment.



-- DoctorMO --

*sigh*
*thinks of her little 66MHz at home...*
*...and wonders what the school computers are...*

¦M¦

Well, I've only got a Celeron 400MHz now, but it's slower than it should be because of my computer's total lack of good memory.

'Only'


¦M¦

Seriously, with the generally poor state of my computer, a 400MHz is just as good/bad as a 66MHz.

*Hopes it won't be offended by that.*

Oh, sorry Ming, I would go on the IM but I'm about to go offline. I'll see you tomorrow though.

Sure.
I'll believe that when I see it.

That OK, I figured I'd miss you when mum demanded the phone at half eight... she had that look about her "I'm going to spend as much time as I possibly can not letting you have the net because I am opposed to it and rebelling against you always having the phoneline".
Honestly, I don't understand why I can't have my own phoneline... mutter mutter, grumble grumble grumble, complain, etc, etc, etc...

¦M¦

You will.

Actually, I won't be able to come online tonight. Probably not, anyway. I've got my certificate presentation evening, you see, which I forgot about. Photos.

Hmmm... *looks doubtful*

Sounds nasty. Anyway, I have to struggle with integration and do an essay, so it's just as well, I suppose...

¦M¦

D'oh!
I forgot to ask you last night - how was the presentation evening then?

¦M¦

Aw, nuts! I had a great big reply to that post, and I see it didn't make it here after all...
You see, it was at the very moment I posted it and posted something to you on the messenger that my connection went mad, and refused to transmit or receive anything other than raw header information. Basically, it could tell me that a webpage existed, but couldn't load it. Similarly, I lost my connerction to the messenger. It seems to be working now, but I'm not sure how long for.
In the mean time, I'll try and think up that reply again.

Oh is that what happened? Cos I didn't see you go because my connection had cut off... Oh dear... oh well, good luck thinking up that reply again then!

¦M¦

/Your/ connection cut off? It must have affected all BT then... I'll work this out, I'm sure.

Yeah, took me ages to sort it out and get back online, and even then it was taking ages, I had to go offline and back on again before things started working properly...
Oh well.
Keep trying!

¦M¦

Oh, by the way...

You. Harry Potter. Go. Watch. Now!!

whatched it good, not so far but good anyway, Oh me not so well after long time no computer. *Kisses 1.4Ghz athlon baby* yep all better now. up and running.

so a 66Mhz I had one of thouse back in 1993, a 486 DX 66Mhz in fact,

great little computer, managed to get Win95 and pleanty of other cool stuf to work on it,

Oh my computer isn't full fixed yet, still got Sound and Scanner/Printer stuff to work out, but so far so good, Oh apart from the lousy power suply fan not working, it got a bit hot before i relised why it was cutting out on me, Oh well I'll have to get a new power suply tomorow.

so hows the Prof? havn't spok in a while, I didn't even see my reply in your artical for the post, i can't seem to find it.

-- DoctorMO --

I refuse to see Harry Potter, as you well know.

Ah yes, 1993... I think my primary school was just introducing us to Acorns... whole new concept, computers... DOS... terrified me when they introced a new thing with Windoze on it a few years later...

¦M¦

Acorns! BBC! Archimedes! *Faints.*

*Gets up.*

Ah, my column was renamed last week, DrMO, to Ask Morph.
You're letter was answered, I assure you.
