Hi! I'm Tom from Whittier. I'm not a nut, just the shell, (or is it 
Chevron?) and I'm mostly regular.

Come on over and visit me at: http://home.earthlink.net/~tcalderwood.

Tom,

LOVED your Web page. One of my sons was here with me. I was showing him 
how newsgroups operate. We both cracked up when we saw your pictures. 
Did you get a digital camera or scanner? Also, I think it was great how 
you did each of your kids. Nice family. Left your poor wife out of it 
though. Shame, shame. Now my sons want their pictures on my web page. 
Sheesh.

Bob

I thought that Tom was going to bail out of Earthlink.

I read that Pacific Bell is now going to enter into the Internet provider
fray.  The more competition the better.

Nice to read you here Tom. Gotta get Tina on here.

Yes, I go through times when I have alot of freeze ups. It may be the same
situation as you describe. There is an extension you can install called
Netscape defrost. I am not sure if it works. I do not know for certain I
have less freeze ups because I have it installed. It is a talisman. A leap
of faith. Rabbit's foot? http://cygnus.rsabbs.com/~ssykes/nsdefrost.html.

Good luck and keep the faith :)

I downloaded it Alan. I'll let you know if it helps. Thanks. I love 
being able to jump right in to a web site mentioned in the great Wamug 
com.priv newsgroup! Very handy indeed. Now if we could just get Tina 
here!

I've been having fewer problems with earthlink lately. But, I am having 
more trouble with NetScape 2.0. My machine is freezing up quite often. 
It seems to happen if I have Netscape on and get disconnected. When I 
use the Internet dialer while Netscape is still open, it often freezes 
up. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, that would be nice.

I read that Pacific Bell in the near future will be offering a package
that includes both their internet access and access to AOL. That would be
nice for those who like the hominess of AOL but still have the full power
internet access. Reyes would probably dig it.

Tina is trying to get here. She doesn't know how to do it from AOL. I 
know it can be done, but I've been off of AOL for months. Anybody able 
to help Tina with getting to this newsgroup from AOL? Her email is:

Tina Gunther
tina_gunther@peter.biola.edu

Bob


Anybody got Virginia White's email address?

I didn't leave my wife out, SHE wanted to be left out. (Something 
about not having a good enough picture. I showed her the ones I used, 
she claims not to be a leming.)

I was playing around with an 8mm video camera hookup to a 950 and 
snaped those frames. Had a great time doing it.

(For anyone else, check out "http://home.earthlink.net/~tcalderwood". 
Be prepaired to laugh.)

I was/am going to leave Earthlink. I'm finding I cannot reliably get 
or send mail. Ticks me off.

The problem is finding a more reliable service provider in my toll 
zone. (Not as easy as it sounds)

I went to the Pac Bell page to check out their excellent ISDN page 
(http://www.pacbell.com) and looked into their internet providing. But 
since I'm a GTE customer, I checked them out (http://www.gte.com) and 
saw that they were going into the provider business big time. 
Internet, Web, Mail, 1MB of web space, news groups, the works. Then I 
saw that they are (so far) only offered in areas in the mid-west and 
east coast.

Can't win for loosing.

I had Net Voyage back last August for a week. I could not connect so I
canceled. Last month they billed me for service for that month. You have
to watch your credit card statements with all this automatic charging for
services going on now a days. I am having a heck of a time getting that
$20 credited back to me.
