We do not like to travel but every now and then it cannot be avoided. Our last ‘now and then’ occurred last weekend. We are always glad to arrive at our destination. We are always glad to get back. What we don’t like is the actual traveling. It is boring. [...] Our old Camrey was purchased used some time ago. It was equipped with a matched set of goodyear radials. They wore well and when they were close to worn out we decided to replace them with the same brand and type of tire. We went to the goodyear store in Plano and [...] We have quite a collection of CDs and DVDs. Every since they became affordable we have been using them in place of floppy disks for storing data, audio, and video. They work for backing up small hard drives too. When you have more than one disk you need to identify it. Label it. There are [...] I just found a 10 bay computer case with 480 watt power supply for around $30. Last week I bought a pentium 4 MB with IDE and SATA and USB for $40. PC-3200 memory for the MB is going cost around $30 for a 1gig stick. Probably want a DVD drive that [...] Now that I am completely done with the upgrades, mods and repair on both the R4C and T4XC, I figured it was time to install the screws connecting the bottom cover and top covers to the main chassis of each piece of equipment. Takes #6-32 pan head, black oxide, plain slot, machine screws that are [...] I saw this modification on the web somewhere but don’t remember exactly where. Google on T4XC AM Mod and see what you get. The mod is a simple matter of replacing the 220 ohm cathode resistor on the 6AU6 am modulator with a 1K pot. Then the 1K pot is adjusted to give 20 [...] I have never, personally, taken anything to the FEDX place to ship so I do not know if they charge extra for ‘tracking’. If they do, don’t waste your dime on their nonsense. I have shipped things UPS and they really DO track stuff. At least their tracking system is set up to [...] Yup, that is my main transmitting rig. Older than sin but still works and looks good. It is also not stock, or maybe some would say ‘mint’. It has been modified in several ways but the main mod is a conversion to use 6146Ws in the final cage. A minor mod [...] Sometime ago as we were doing some contract work for a startup we were provided with a Dell Dimension 8200 computer. This thing arrived with XP/home pre-installed. We used it for about a month when it finally would not boot anymore. Thinking it was a hard drive failure, we got the drive [...] Well, on the recommendation of an acquaintance I tried openSUSE 11.1. Slick install as far as the graphics went. Sort of like Microsoft stuff but without the congrats and promise of fun ahead. The first thing openSUSE asked for was permission to activate some swap space. Okay no problem, I let it activate some swap [...] |
