WHY are you INSISTING (read: ASSUMING) that I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY
IIID? It was stated very clearly - OTHERS UNDERSTOOD, ACCORDING TO MY
EMAIL - that my problem was the fact THAT I DON'T HAVE A MANUAL...
THAT'S IT - NO MANUAL! Get it now? I'M LOOKING TO PURCHASE A
M-A-N-U-A-L. Period.

Since when is it "spamming" to ask politely, in the pertinent NG's, if
anybody has a spare HP IIID manual they'd like to part with? And to do
so is "pathetic", no less? You reveal a basic lack of knowledge (or
comprehension) which I'm sure we all hope doesn't extend beyond your
occasional posts to NG's and into your chosen vocation. I'm sure it
doesn't...

I'm running a dual-boot with W95/N4.06 on one and W3.11/N3.04 on the
other, and depending on how the God's (and Bill Gates) have decided to
treat me (BSOD'S/GPF's) for the day, I just may post using N3.04 - the
16bit is much less prone to viral attack anyway. At this hour and on
this day it's more stable. Gee, if I had just known beforehand that it
would bother you, I coulda swapped drives and booted Linux and we both
coulda been bothered together.

As they say - "It takes two to dance", and I fear we've become little
more than entertainment for others on this Friday night.

The dance is over, take me home, you four-footed brute. You may kiss my
hand and say "Goodnight"...

(And, BTW, may I say I'm glad the resection went OK... or... or did it?).

Sincerely, 

Dennis
