   Hi Jean,   
      
   JP> I got to read the mail just now and I am sorry to say that I am   
   JP> still alive and doing well, thank you for your nice words about my   
   JP> silence.   
      
   I'm really glad to read you again because I have been a little worried   
   by your absence but Paul has soothed our wondering minds at times.   
      
   JP> It is due to my enjoying W-8 totally, I really like it, I got it to   
   JP> run as XP or better as W-7, it even looks alike.   
      
   In the meantime I have got another Lenovo after the earlier one didn't   
   want to connect to a LAN. The "new" one is a T61 type 6457 with a 160 Gb   
   HD and now running both OS/2 Warp 4 and XPp (the US/english version).   
      
   I have also fixed my "office" machine because it had to loan the 5-disk   
   Nakamichi CD changer to the "new" BBS machine. At the same time I did   
   disconnect one of the blowers in the office PC because it was so noisy   
   that I avoided to use it. Now it's really quiet.   
      
   The blower was one that blew air onto the disk-, HD- and CD-drives and   
   was not needed since the machine isn't used so long periods and I've   
   never seen another machine with a blower towards those units.   
      
   Also I noted that both machines were very clean inside because I have   
   used dust filters on all openings were air could get into the case.   
      
   JP> Reading the posts here are all above my head so I have nothing to   
   JP> add thus my silence. Yes, I read it all most every day but humbly I   
   JP> will say that I have nothing to add.   
      
   Well as above, somebody may have had something to tell you, hi.   
      
   JP> I am out in the boonies still, WiFying the connections. All is well.   
      
   Happy to hear (read) that.
