Don Peter!

Good evening. Long time no see...

Still here, getting old ;)
Not much PS/2-ing lately, I'm afraid.

Friendly Easter-greetings from the Netherlands,

I am here for the nostalgia, I sent all my PS/2 stuff to other mafia
members but I am still lurking here.
I avoid anything Google. (as much as possible)

Hi !

Don't know if I told already: I recently revived my IBM 5155 Portable PC
(which I owned for over 30 years) along with an Epson FX-800 printer (I
owned for almost 40 years), Epson CX-21 acoustic coupler (dating back to
Pre-PC-ages).

Therefore my next victim ... err ... rework object might be one of my
PS/2s. As I read the Lacuna board has a notorious capacitor problem I
might dig out the 77i I used for early analog records to MP3 conversions
along with the IBM M-ACPA.

Being almost 64 years old and *still* not booked for retirement
(unfortunately) my time schedule is quite tight. The job always comes in
the way. Yes - I am still working for the same company I did achieve my
PS/2 skills from. Will be 37 years by October 1st this year.
And - in addition - I spent most of my "silent years" PS/2-wise with
repairing hifi gear and record players. Where I accumulated a *huge*
collection of almost 80 stand-alone record players + some in combinations.

This 5-year-old video might give some insights ...

For further participation in this group I went to eternal-september.org
I didn't like Google groups that much anyway - and it is not my style to
"feed the clowns".

Let's see what the future brings.

I have gone over to the dark side and I m playing with Thin Client
machines using them as appliance PCs on TVs.
Since they never get turned off and they don't need blazing speed, the
4-9 w power consumption is attractive to me.
My latest are a pair of WYSE 5020s (D90Q7) for $30 each..

This your ever-final text appears to be your filosofical heritage, so to
speak.
{--> People with similar circumstances tend to !!}
But can we i n d e e d find like-minded beings "across space" (!) and
"no matter distance" {--> n. m. of d.}, e.g. on planets in our
galaxy---or even in a neighbouring one??!!?? Hmmm??..... I'm caught in
extreme doubt.....}
>Do Not [....] Use without my Permission
No, i won't!, namely because of my above-submitted question.

now you're trolling, grind that axe of yours sharp...

no just me, after filling my room with worthless gas i tend to reach the
helm of my mantra climax and words just flow away in a world seems to be
less round everyday *earth*, but why you give the crap anyway? is a
signature.

you have left the most important bit out "giving enough time in life"
time = space <-- is basic physics

no one stepped on your tail ....

Yes, be it a sig., but anyway it's thy ever-final text.

>you may want to learn
I very mostly want to learn......

>some net etiquettes
'netiquettes'?

--> while you are at it. !!

>>to be your filosofical heritage, so to speak.

I don't know "trolling" means.

>grind that axe of yours sharp...
This thy terminology is despicable: It shows (proves?) that thou art
violence-oriented!.....

All in all: This thy text isn't understandable to me. Who is unable?!?
Thou or i?!? Hmmm?.....
>the helm of my mantra climax [?!!?]
>words just flow away in a world seems to be less round everyday *earth*
--> world "that seems" or "seeming"!!!

Werest thou on cannabis when texting the above quoted?
This appears to be a much relevant question.....

The core, yea nuke of my text was:

Thy huge fault was: n o t to respond to my questions repeated
below!!!!!!!

Thou hast written, i might learn, and as well thou shouldst be willing
to!!
Thou hast to comprehend what the C O R E of a message is PLUS to
afterwards respond to it!!!
Learn this and do not dodge this important hint!!!

> you have left the most important bit out "giving enough time in life"
--> given enough time .. ?!? This bit thou hast not included in thy
then message! Therefore it's too late now to introduce it as an
argument!
> time = space <-- is basic physics
"basic physics"?? No, such is not taught in schools, neither in
high-schools etc.....
Such stuff (time=space) is basically incomprehensible!!! ---> Why can we
move within space (limited), but N O T within time??!!!?? Haaaa???
Answer he to this my 'drilling' question thoroughly!!!

Thy huge fault was/is: Thou wantest n o t to respond to the aspects
which i had layed out in my initial message!!!....... This is very
'ungood'!, as it were.

>> Do Not [....] Use without my Permission
>No, i won't!, namely because of my above-submitted question.
>no one stepped on your tail ....
That's true because my tail forever had been m u c h too short. That
much honesty gotta be.

>>One should always rethink one's thought-patterns.
>and the point is ?
That thou shouldest massively begin rethinking (plus later discarding)
this thy pattern:
"People alike with a similar circumstances, tend to find each others
across space [.....] no matter distance"
The space, the volume of the universe is thus gigantic that NO living
being could EVER (!!!) be able to reach out just a bit into
it---whatever the purpose may be......
T h e r e f o r e like-minded beings will N E V E R be able to find
one another "across space" and "no matter distance"!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this explained clearly enough???

Boring. Nothing but word games. I've done some fairly disjointed posts,
but this stuff is past me.

you win, now back on topic please.
