Nice!

No, I don't have that kind of money lying around, I gave it to you to hold for me. Now go buy ME a bike!

Gotcha. Which reminds me, I need to pull the drive from that machine and backup the drive, before it fails.

You don't need a new OS, just a new motherboard, right? With the situation at work, I'd just use the old hard drive with a new motherboard and processor.

Wow! I think that if the parents would knock the kids arms off like they did to your dish, they wouldn't be having an issue.

It's nothing ot do with the OS, as even the latest computers can run DOS! The problem is in needing ISA slots, which is where we are, also. The company that makes the machine I'm talking about wants something like $5k to upgrade. It comes with a new PC, interface board, software, and not much else, not even a new monitor or printer, both which are required. The only problem we might run into by DIY'ing it is compatibility with a different motherboard, as they go on and on about how the boards are specific to them, etc.... I have a feeling that it's just a QC and support thing, seeing how hardware was so flaky back then, at times.

Which is what we're dealing with on a machine we have here! Fortunately, the problem with it ended up being the cpu fan had gone bad, causing it to overheat, therowing a BSOD. It's a Windows 95 machine!

If I can get away for a while, I'll head over to that shop I was talking about to see what they might have.

Nope, I didn't think anything of color, I was just wanting to see what you reaction would be!

I hope they didn't PAY someone for that mess!

Profiling....

I need to get me a set of angled feeler gauges, to make it easier to get in to the valves. Ugh, I almost had the Snap-on guy paid off, too! I do have a set of straight ones though, I'll have to check if they'll get in there well enough.

I liked it when they started building their own frames, and stuff. That's wheh they started getting too big, and I quit watching though. They started doing more stuff in-house, but quit showing as much of it! I'd rather go down the road to a friend's shop where he does primarily CUSTOM engines for Harley's, and watch them build bikes. They're probably more fun to watch anyway, as it's not at all scripted!

Ugh.... I thought this thread died.....

Cali boy.... I need to move away from the snow.....Or get a snowmobile! I hope I don't find a deal like my friend has been finding, when I have money in my bank account!!!!

I haven't even watched in a couple years, other than the random occasion that I'd run across it.

Threre you go again. Teasing about the new version.

I liked the first year or so of that show, but then I got tired of it being nothing but about the fighting in the shop. I'd rather see more technical stuff about the bikes than anything. I miss the Monster Garage, and Monster house shows that they had a few years ago. THAT stuff was interesting.

From the looks of it, everything worked out well on it!

They need one of those out here, ASAP! My road is clear enough for 2 vehicles to pass, but the county road I have to take to get anywhere is just barely a lane and a half!

Wow! All you guys are DIY'ing Pauly out of work!

A thread on OR owuldn't be complete without a derail. I like chicken soup.

I've noticed that with the polls, also. One time it's the results, the next it's just as though you haven't voted. I've noticed it with polls that I've voted on, and some that I've not voted on. That one is not an issue to me though.
