Windows 98 crashed hopelessly, so I got Windows 2000

More woe. When I present a post asking for help or technical assistance I post in 'tech'/announcements/activism. I get the most help in the first few minutes after my post has been posted to the list. About five minutes later, my help post has vanisished from the freeper front page. My post is then relegated to the vast darkness of 'general interest' or something like that, which nobody ever visits.

I have a 56k modem with a dial up isp. Running win2k on the pc. My isp service is very good and is inexpensive and I wish to keep it. However, I really need to have my phone calls come in whie I am on the computer/online. Is there a device I can get to do this? Where from and how $ would the device cost.

Monday he passed on. Three days later he was laid to rest. A four man rifle squad gave a 'three gun salute' to their fallen comrade. The ceremony was beautiful beyond words. Especially the solemn and crisp 'folding' of the American flag by the two active duty soldiers which was then presented to my Aunt.....on behalf of the President of the United States said the Sergeant at arms. Oh, I wept. Then came the hauntingly beautiful 'Taps'. I will never forget......... This truly is a great country you know. And my fortitude was greatly strengthened by the humble honor of...

Well, is it? Or will my computer be 'terminated' by the Dark Force of the invasive "riaa" robot spiders?

Why is there a 'q' after my freep name? Anybody help here? Golly geez.

Just heard on the local radio. Baghdad Bob is alive and well and appeared on arab tv station stating he was arrested and then set free by US forces! Poor Bob! Unwanted and free! Time to sign him up for SNL! Heck, give him his own show!

Chestnuts....Tall.... Once the twin American Chestnuts stood tall and proud above the forest. None could compare to their grandeur. The steadfast Oaks below stood strong and true and helped lift the great twin chestnuts into the heavens. Suddenly the Great Twin American Chestnuts were struck......struck by a strange and devious axe....something derisive and unexpected.... But still the Chestnuts stood their ground and remained high even though their trunks were splintered by the treacherous blow.....the shattered trunks still remained tall and proud, but then slowly, little by little the shattered trunks did sway, mortal indeed were the insults to the mighty...
