Subj: REPLY TO MSG #3060 (SYSTEM CONFIG)

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I recently move to Pleasant Hill from San
Francisco and the only reason I made the move is to be closer to the home of
the mighty Club 100. Not. But it is mighty convenient for a basic computer
illterate such as my self to be a free phone call away from the best 100 jockys
west of the MIssissippi. Rick has also offered to assist me in gettin my 102 to
do what I would like it to do and in fact we have a rendezvous planned for some
time this week. To answer your question re: other computer experience I basicly
don't have much to speak of. I am able to program set up and run computer
controled machine tools,mills and lathes, and have a limited amout of
experience with other CAD and CAM systems. As far as my 102 goes I would like
to, a) do word processing, b) run my spread sheet some basis home and business
financial accouting c) some misc data base and file management items, d) I'd
lke for my daughter to be able to play some games on it, e) I would like to
learn more about progamming the son-of-gun, f) Id like to have my
RAM100,TSLOAD,N2X,DOS100.c O type programs and any BASIC programs I run
intermitently with the .CO programs not cause the dreaded COLD START VOODOO
that my 102 seems to have a problem with. Man I got key board confusion and .CO
mangling .BAstardizations happening to me all day long, well not all day long
but enough for me tbe looking at more user friendly systems, no not user
friendly- IDIOT PROOF. That is basicly what I want to do to my 102 is IDIOT
PROOF the little pan head. YEOW. My frustration is starting to show through
again. I had better stop. Anyway as far as getting together it might be best
for me to rendezvous with as mny people as possible reguarding my system
configuration. I have some classes to check out this semester at  DVC most of
which start at 7pm monday through friday but I am in the area usually no later
than 4:30 so I could be any where around the area at thay time and untill say
6:30 so I can make it to class. If I find the right class right off the bat
then the rest of the week and also the weekend would be free. Let me know if
any of that meets your needs. My number is 687-1637 so call if can. I have been
to several meetings at Melos but notm to Marys yet Im looking forward to the
next meeting in September. Again thanks for the offer. I am driven to
understand and master my model T. No one gets away with stealing so much of my
time without paying for it. See you around Robert
