Hello Wayne - 

CA>> One of the reasons for my tech website was to record what
CA>> I had learned before it was 'lost'. I was begining to
CA>> forget how I had made some of the changes to W31. 

WC> I appreciate that. I stopped in this morning and snagged
WC> Dog and will look in again and snag PCTools. 

PcTools is/was commercial software, it's not linked to from my
website. The company was purchased by someone (I forget who). 

CA>> Of course I can't guarantee how long the website would
CA>> remain when I am no longer available to watch over it. :-\ 

WC> I had given some thought to saving your HTML so I could
WC> reference the links in MS Frontpage but I think of you as a
WC> very helpful friend so find the idea too grim to act on. 

I don't you think keeping a 'local' copy to speed things up is
going to do me any harm. It might be a bit larger than you
think it is though if you get all of it. :-)

WC> SO HEAR THIS, you're now officially advised you are to
WC> stick around and there will be no excuse for dying without
WC> giving three years advance notice in public ;-) 

I think I just did? 

--8<--cut 

CA>> I would guess many caused their own demise while
CA>> experimenting with something dangerous before they had a
CA>> chance to realize _how_ dangerous it was. 

WC> www.darwinawards.com. 

Funny stories. I'd heard a few of these before but they're
funny anyhow. 

WC> Oh I realized just how dangerous that infernal contraption
WC> was in very short order. 

--8<--cut 

WC> You know I believe I could have made some good bucks making
WC> these things for others but by the time I'd figured out how
WC> to do it and had prototype parts at hand my health was no
WC> longer up to the task :-( I think it would be way cool when
WC> these Florida hurricanes blow through taking down power
WC> lines to be able to stay online as long as I wanted to for
WC> however many batteries I chose to add :-) 

Batteries are only an advantage for uninterruptible power
supply. If a short interruption is acceptable a portable gas
generator requires less maintenance at a comparable cost but
can allow you to continue well into the night if need be. :-)
