In a message on Thursday 10-05-16 Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good evening Paul,   
      
   Nice to read you again.   
      
   PQ> Like you and Jean, I have been scanning this echo all along.  Just   
   PQ> lurking, with nothing to say.[gulp]   
      
   Knowing that Jean recently had a blockage in the arteries from/to the   
   heart, and that he is only one year younger than I, makes me worry about   
   how he's recovering.   
      
   PQ> Ahmm... the "Great Race" is on this weekend, Holger.  The Bathurst   
   PQ> 1000 carnival starts tomorrow (my time), and goes on through to the   
   PQ> main race on Sunday.    Keep an eye out for it in your TV guide(s).    
   PQ> :)   
      
   Oh yes I know. My GS is apparently reading some motor news that I don't   
   know about, and he told me about it. I'm looking forward to it.   
      
   I'm following the program listings on MotorsTV, (thanks for the URL),   
   but on tuesday they did only have info up to sept. 10, and I saw no   
   signs of Bathurst up to that date, neither did they have a week listing   
   extending beyond sept 7th.   
      
   I do however expect a new weekly listing today, since usually they do   
   have a new listing on thursdays.   
      
   On the Windows front, I'm progressing, and hoping it wouldn't do its   
   old-time-tricks of suddently removing programs. That happened on the   
   laptop a couple of days ago.   
      
   On the stationary machine it was still working yesterday, knock-on-wood!   
      
   A couple of days ago, it had made the VLC progran unusable, so I had to   
   reinsltall it. I got the original icon on the bottom line, but the icon   
   on the desktop, the VLC icon still tells me that the shortcut doesn't   
   work, because it can't find VLC.exe, even though it's still and now in   
   the original directory. Oh well, Windows!!!   
      
   I did also buy a speaker set, so I didn't have to wear headphones, while   
   listening to music, and the videos Johan (the GS), sent me from the   
   birthday present, driving different sportcars on a track, that he   
   received from his wife, Melissa.   
      
   Melissa got a permanent job at the St. G”rans hospital, and recently she   
   also got her original title back, that one she had at the US hospital,   
   where she worked b4 moving to Sweden.   
      
   On the speaker front, I bought a similar set that I have bought a couple   
   of years ago for my 23" LED TV, that does have a built-in DVD reader.   
      
   I have been satisfied with them, but when I connected the new set to the   
   stationary computer I got very distorted sound. I did connect them to the   
   laptop, same distorted sound.   
      
   Then, I connected the new set to the TV, instead of the earlier ones.   
   Nice and clean audio from the same DVD as b4.   
      
      
   Have a nice evening,   
      
   Holger
