    ZIP Disks

    Which takes me back to the mid-late 90s when I was playing Nascar racing online :-) It was a dial up service, and the phone # was a 617# in Waltham. A local call for me. People from all over the US were dialing in long distance (when it was pay by the minute for LD calls!), racking up 100s of...

    ZIP Disks

    I remember those. We had some for backups where I worked (NERDWORLD.COM). I remember thinking 1GB man...when are you ever going to need 1GB?!

    ZIP Disks

    Absolutely! Thank you to @passle for hooking me up with step one, the actual drive.

    ZIP Disks

    I'm up for the challenge! I think one of them has my old Nascar racing online log files. I've been wanting to analyze them for years :-)

    ZIP Disks

    I have some old ZIP disks that I'd like to get the data off of, but don't have the drive. Are working ZIP disk drives a thing? Am I going to have to find an old machine with a working serial port? Is there a USB option that would work on a machine today? I see some drives on ebay, but have no...

    Internet Speeds

    Wow. This explains the issue I was having with gmail and other google related sites a few months back on this machine. I think I even posted about it. It was the only machine in the house with issues. I installed windows 10 pro (up from 7)and it went away...but that's because I also switched to...

    Internet Speeds

    So I have a hardwired connection for my primary PC, but I hadn't been using it. I just did a speed test and on my wifi I get 150 down / 100 up. Disabled it, enabled the NIC and I get 700 down / 1 up . Yes 1, one 1.0, uno. Thoughts on why the hardwired is so slow? self edit before posting as I...

    Youth Hockey - catch all

    I hope they make it in time for Thursday, and it smooths out the rest of the way for you guys. Good luck.. re: the icing - One ref had it all the way down (the normal spot). The other ref had it outside the zone of the team that iced it, which I had never heard of before. He explained it as...

    Youth Hockey - catch all

    That sucks, OTC. As someone who used 'rink convenience' as a huge factor in shopping for our first club team, this would drive me nuts. Are the seeking ice anywhere else? I've heard of programs getting the rug pulled out from under them and scrambling to find ice all over the place. Maybe the...

    Homer Hindsight: Can You Tell If It's A Home Run Off The Bat?

    Every time I get on any sort of a run, the site bonks. Like I click on a guess and then it just hangs. Or the video only shows a split second and I have to guess.

    Homer Hindsight: Can You Tell If It's A Home Run Off The Bat?

    It seemed like the first 10 or so i was given were all balls off the top of the fence bouncing over, or just hitting the top of the wall and falling short. Very hard to guess. Then I got a batch of like 12 that were really easy to tell and Mookie Betts'ed it.

    DVD burner killed my wireless reception?

    Glad it's working now when hard wired, but just a note in your troubleshooting, when the phones are working and the wifi on your pc is not, it's likely the phones are connecting via their wireless data plan (5g, 4g etc). Best to disable your mobile data when troubleshooting a potential wireless...

    Immaculate grid - hockey

    7/9 today, but I cheated. I had a stack of hockey cards on my desk and got the bottom left two from the pile. But it was fun playing that way (forcing myself to look through the cards) so I may try that when I get stuck. Doesn't feel as bad as a quick google.

    Immaculate grid - hockey

    There's a hockey edition now. https://www.immaculategrid.com/hockey I stink at these but figure hockey might give me a decent chance. 6/9 today... don't really care about rarity scores since I am lucky to get 7 or 8.

    Correct. I commend you on your concern. But, I assure you, nobody will care. Again, if you can't get over that hump, I will gladly list them for you, give you whatever money they sell for, so you can buy other seats.
