Hello Gerald - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> I find Total Commander using a null parallel cable to be
CA>> so convenient that I've not bothered to get the networking
CA>> setup here. 

GM> I have to get more deeply involved with the "permissions".
GM> XPP and W2K are both NT systems (is that correct?) 

Normally, yes, they are both NTFS but it is possible to install
them using FAT32 if you so desire. 

GM> and lately, they've both been giving me some grief when
GM> trying to make the network connections. 

GM> [snip] 

GM>>> Well, as many can likely testify, it is getting more
GM>>> difficult to access a lot of sites when one uses legacy
GM>>> software... <g> 

CA>> That may change. Users and even _some_ webmasters are
CA>> becoming impatient with all the effort involved in
CA>> maintaining all the gook (javascript, flash, etc.). 

GM> So, this process is coming to 'Full circle?' 

I tend to doubt the 'full circle' part but I do think WWW might
revert back to leaner less complex coding of pages. 

GM> I'll be looking forward to "slimmer" applications. ;-)) 

GM>>>>> --8<--cut 

CA>>>> Each year I think of a new reason not to care about
CA>>>> networking. I'm not convinced I really need it here for
CA>>>> anything that would justify the effort. 

GM>>> Why Charles, that's _almost_ a luddite philosophy...
GM>>> <G,D&R> 

CA>> Yes I suppose it is but then I've not had a printer hooked
CA>> up for over 15 years and I own several including a HP
CA>> laser printer. 

GM> Well, I'm not totally disillusioned with computers, yet,
GM> but keep it up Charles. <g> 

My lack of a printer is a testament to my ability to access my
computers at will and not need hard copy to carry around with
me when I am not at the machines. 

GM>>> I don't believe that you are absolutely inflexible with
GM>>> that outlook. All I have to do is peruse your web sites
GM>>> and read the reams of help that you have given to people
GM>>> over the years. Now, go wash your hands with some very
GM>>> strong soap for typing those words.... ;-))) Networking
GM>>> means many things! 

CA>> It's an added level of complexity when attempting to keep
CA>> backups that I don't need/want to deal with right now. 

GM> I'm still trying to figure out who said this was going to
GM> be easy. They were a 'damned liar!' 

No one ever told me computers were going to be easy and nothing
I have experienced in the past 25 years has led me to that
conclusion.
