Guest Lil' Dave Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Guess this newsgroup monitoring is somewhat like Congress. Asleep at the wheel. Wanna buy a watch? -- Dave How many people with "small savings accounts" closed those accounts in response ot recent ecomomic news... Circumstance - Venezuela closing its doors to U.S. ambassodors. Shortly afterwards, a hurricane enters the Gulf coast in vicinity of oil derrricks, and onshore that has oil refinement capabilities. Subsequently, the price of oil crude drops dramatically. The Russian version of Wall street is virtually failiing for some "unknown reason". A day later, the Russian Navy is having Naval exercises with the Venezuelan Navy. Are U.S. senators less obliged to fulfill their obligation to represent their constiituents if they are running for U.S. president? Where were either one of them on Monday September 22nd, 2008?

Wanna buy a watch? Microsoft established the groups on this server (and the web interface/mirror) as peer support forums. Computer manufacturers agreed to handle any professional support users might be entitled to as part of the users' OEM Windows 98 purchases. Microsoft's professional support for boxed retail and upgrade copies of Windows 98 would probably be subject to a several year old expiration date. Essentially Microsoft's "support" is the newer versions of Windows.
Guest Ron Badour Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: Asleep at the wheel Hi Don, More likely it means not many people are using W98 any longer. I have 98 loaded in VirtualPC for reference use only. I sometimes miss tinkering with it but the stability of XP overcomes that. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Don Phillipson" <e925@SPAMBLOCK.ncf.ca> wrote in message news:uyhkmNpHJHA.3548@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > "Lil' Dave" <spamyourself@virus.net> wrote in message > news:ua4%23pCpHJHA.2860@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > >> Guess this newsgroup monitoring is somewhat like Congress.
