Bye bye

[eva2000]

for now :(

I am typing this very very slowly on a old 486sx/33, 12 mb ram Win 95 notebook right now using a sloooow dialup line and Netscape Navigator Gold 3.02. My last pc, last night decided that it would like to overheat the cpu and hang whenever in use :mad:

I maybe out of action for 7 - 14 days while I get all 3 of my desktop pcs fixed :rolleyes: May even miss vB 2.0's debut as a public beta :(

You have no idea how slow and painfully annoying it is using a 486sx/33 running Win 95 with only 12mb of ram and a 30mb swap file :eek:

I can't use outlook express since my cpu and memory restrictions aren't allowing me to do so, i am using netscape mail and can only access 1 mail account webmaster@eva2000.com - so contact me at this address if needed.

Now i know why J.Eng doesn't post on these forums - he's on a 486 machine too and it takes around 5 - 10 minutes even to read and load a page :(

I'd like to congratulate wayne/sitepoint for their acquistion of Echoweb network :)

I'd like to say to Susan, congrats and all the best on your new P3 800 machine. if it's a dual p3 800, trust me it can handle alot since when i was on a dual p3 800 i hit 13 members + 715+ guests and it still ran fine :)

Martin hope that your new dual pentium server is working great for you :)

hopefully my vB forum doesn't do anything strange while i am out of action

btw, using Netscape Navigator Gold 3.02, all vB forums i visited including this one, look very very bad... all the style sheet settings show up as text on the top of the forum pages and the colours are all off...

i even get javascript pop up errors on alot of the sites i tried to visit including mine...

well signing off for a while :)

Awwww, hope your compter gets fixed soon :)
Best of luck! :)

[PeF]

Fingers crossed! ;)

Ah George, I don't envy you a bit. Nearly 4 years ago I got given a 486 25Mhz with 8MB of Ram, a 120mb hard drive, and a 2400 modem. It served me well for the 6 months I had it, but web surfing was more like web drowning. "Walking on the information super-highway" was how I discribed it. During that 6 months, the Packard Bell saw a lot of upgrades, most notibly a 33.6 modem, but it was still painfully slow. I hope you can get your PC's back sooner than a week or two. (One thing the PB taught me was how to troubleshoot and repair/replace hardware.) If I was in Oz, I'd come over and see if I could lend ya a hand.

Hope to see ya soon,

[Martin]

George, if it does anything funky, let me know. I'll help where I can.

The new server is rocking :)

[JimF]

George,

Are you going to be okay? I mean, are you going to be able to stand it? ;)

Hope you're back soon!

[WebStyles]

Come back soon! :)

It sounds like it's time to buy yourself a slightly early valentines day gift. :)

[werehere]

Yeah pick yourself up a nice new dell, they have never left me stranded! ;)

See ya in a week! :D

[Me2Be]

Eva, I'm sorry you are having all these problems! Hope to see you soon :)

** Hey everyone, now's your chance to get your posts up!! ** j/k

(Seriously, we will miss you!)

[Wayne Luke]

Thanks for the kind words...

Hurry back as soon as you can. Many vBulletin forums will be lacking until you return. :)

[Dark_Wizard]

What do you need to get things working again? I have alot of parts just laying around....let me know..it may take awhile to get to you but it may be worth it!

[thetakerfan]

I don't think you'll be able to last for a whole week without posting in the forums, I mean come on, you're ALWAYS here, how are you gonna be able to stand it?

Wish ya luck

[JohnM]

How can we point people to eva's sig now? :D

[Genotoxin]

Aww, that's not good Eva2000. I feel sorry for you, a while ago I was on a 400mhz with a 28k... Now I'm on an 800mhz with a DSL line... I'm a speed freak. ;-)

Hope you get back soon.

Go to the beach, have fun - sometimes forced vacations can make it so you come back more focused and with more energy than ever before.

[John Harrison]

Well I am now back so you got me to put up with again while eva2000 is away.

See ya Eva2000 when you get back. :)
You will be missed.

((( George )))

Take care and I hope you find an easy way to get your computers running and back in tip top shape. Thanks for the encouraging words...Susan and I ended up with a dual 800 P III and it is slick. I hope you are back up and posting again SOON... :D

I agree. I know eva is like me in the sense that there is never any break time, so I know that forced vacations are the only time I get to relax because I'll never do it on my own

[eva2000]

thanks everyone... i was forced to purchase a new pc since 2 of my 3 pcs is beyond a simple repair job and the 3rd pc just went in for repairs yesterday

I purchased a new pc and picked it up yesterday (there goes 2 months of hosting fees gone :( )

i changed mail apps from Outlook express to Eudora 5 and i have to get the mail filters directing me email to the right folders/mailboxes so if you're contacting bear with me :)

Eudora has a stats report of the amount of mail i get and it's reporting 582 emails/day which is about right for what i get (300 - 500/day) hehe

what was i doing on this forced vacation ? - suffering net withdrawal symptoms thats what :LOL

[thetakerfan]

welcome back!

[Nicholas Brown]

[eva2000]
