I also have the typewriter, which usually works beautifully, but it is hanging up sometimes when I turn it on lately, and I can't find out how to get it going again. Would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas.   Thanks.

This trend started about a dozen years ago and is progressing more and more every year. Instead of being limiated to just 2 or 3 filters (that often cost around $ 100 each) you just turn a knob or move the mouse and set up any type of filtering you want.

Then all that cleared up, but then so did Google, so I just went back to that. It bitches about my browsers but when it says "A problem occurred while communicating with the server" it is NOT a browser issue, especially when the same browser works a half an hour later. So I am not "upgrading" anything. But then if I have to go Thunderbird again I will probably get the new version of that. And it STILL might not fix my problem. Like updating drivers, it does not work, like I have no sound so I need the newer drivers, hows come it worked last week ? Bunch of bullshit.   > Is there free client software out there other than Thunderbird ?

oldschool@tubes.com: Feb 14 01:42AM -0600 A local bar & grill has several tv's. One of them is really screwed up, and I wish they would either fix it, replace it, or not turn it on. It's a modern flat screen probably HDTV. I'm guessing its a 32 or 36 inch.   The right side of the picture is normal, and has a perfect picture. The sound works fine, but the left half of the screen is constantly flashing, which I find very annoying. Sometimes that left side has a normal picture for a few seconds, other times it's black, and most of the time it just flashes.   I play around with old tube type electronics and some early transistor stuff. I know very little about this new stuff. My guess is some sort of a loose connection, or flaky capacitor or maybe a chip, or ????   An old CRT tv would fail either horizontal or vertical, or not work at all. But this half screen has me puzzled. Do these new TVs have separate circuits for each half of the screen?   No, I dont plan to try to fix it or do anything about it, except I have asked the business owner to shut it off a few times, since there are 2 more TVs in there anyhow, and that flashing actually makes me dizzy after awhile. But I am curious how or why it's doing this.... Can anyone explain it???   (it's NOT the cable, since the othrer tvs work fine and are on the same cable tv service).

ohger1s@gmail.com: Feb 14 04:29AM -0800 > explain it???   > (it's NOT the cable, since the othrer tvs work fine and are on the same > cable tv service).   It could be the ribbon cable from the TCON to the display, or even the tcon, but it sounds like a classic case of "Windex Syndrome".   Most TVs made these last few years have the display installed upside down in order to locate the connections of the display a bit closer to the main board to save some fraction of cost in copper.   Problem is the address board (part of and bonded to the display) is susceptible to any liquid that is sprayed on the screen and drips below the mask. Slowly, sometimes weeks or months after being dosed with cleaner, the address board corrodes and begins to fail. Nothing will stop it except removing all contamination. The problem is that once symptoms are noticed, it's too late. The board suffers copper leaching and the bonding between the ribbons and display fail.

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Feb 14 10:31AM A printer with a 5 well colour cart, 3 normal plus light cyan and light magenta. Are the light ones just the strong ones diluted with distilled water? if so, what sort of dilution ratio?
