     I hadn't connected with my main FIDONet hub (Janis Kracht) in several   
   days, but got a bucket load of messages...the QWK packet is rather full   
   tonight. :P   
      
     It was a good thing I had bought a used Windows Vista Home Basic   
   Laptop at a recent ham radio event in Shreveport, Louisiana. I had   
   bought a similar one at a ham radio in Monroe, Louisiana, from the same   
   gentleman, but the new one has more memory and hard drive space. Anyway,   
   I had to reset the date and time in the CMOS tonight, but after that, I   
   kept getting a BSOD error when I tried to boot up. So, that one, along   
   with another older laptop (which has XP on it, but also limited on   
   memory and hard drive space), will go to a local shop for formatting and   
   parts use. I had bought a used Windows 7 32-bit laptop from a fellow   
   Sysop, and will eventually move the BBS to it.   
      
     We got 1 to 2 inches of much needed rain here today from storms, but   
   we still have storms in the forecast into Monday. Fire danger has been   
   high, with burn bans all over the place. But, the storms mean little or   
   no computer or BBS work.
