I'm baaaaaaack...

Gang,

During the move I have been really lucky/unlucky. When I plugged my 'puter
back in last Friday, my hard drive
died. I replaced the hard drive and the modem died. I replaced the modem and
the graphics card died. Then my
motherboard (ASUS A7V333) went the way of the dodo, wouldn't boot due to a
permanent clocking error. Due to the
huge influx of boxes into the tech guys, thanks to the blaster worm, they
have a 5 to 7 day backlog. So, I introduced the
"F" factor, and bought a new box (that only took 3 days to sort out).

I missed the blaster worm (had all the patches on disk), but that and the
other recently released virus' have wasted my
accounts at hctc.

I had over 1900 messages on the server, and as of 17:00 hours tonight, all
were deleted from the server. Most were infected with virii, which used my
website and the address' there to propagate, and loop back, filling my in
box with infected messages. After my ISP guru and I spent a couple hours
trying to figure out what to do, as the messages kept stacking up,
we dumped everything, and re-loaded the website and all my isp info.

So, long story made long, if you have tried to contact me since last
Wednesday, the 13th, I will not get anything you sent.

Since the move I have a new e-mail address: scottk at localaccess dot com

If you need to get a hold of me, call my cell: 360-996-0109.

If we dont answer, please leave a message.

I missed you, Scott! I don't think anyone else did!

Welcome back! Glad all has been sorted. (-:

Did I ever mention that every computer I own either has an apple logo
or a sun logo. I'm sure I did .

Glad you got everything sorted.

E-mail me when you get a chance. I talked with a buddy today who has an
idea you may be interested in.

welcome back. I kept wondering when you were going to just get a new
machine. :)

Any plans for what to do with the old machine? If not, I may be interested
if the price is right.

Shit, the old one was only a year old, and was top-o-da-line then...

The new box is quite a bit faster (a gig of RAM and a 2.4 gig AMD Athlon),
but I dont want to buy another one
a year from now.

I would, however, like to get my hands on one of these little creeps that
put these virii out. They have cost me
I-dont-know-how-many hours over the years. I bet they wouldnt think it was
so funny and fun if they had to
pay a few of the bills they create (not to mention being used for a
substitute soccer ball for a couple minutes).

I am going to sort it out and keep it as a back-up.

Good plan. I hope you don't have to use it anytime soon...

Sorry - that should have been XP (shows how much I know (or care) about the
