As it is in September I'll be taken back to 5Gb free which is more than enough for my uses.

Lloyd
Your uses as the retired person named "Lloyd Parsons?" Didn't you drop the "Parsons" from your name because people would realize the ten or fifteen years you've been posting would make you 75 or 80 years old?

LOL

Nobody
Are you terminally stupid or what?

Lloyd
Obviously I'm not as stupid as taking you at your word would require.

Nobody
I'm nearly 70, what IS your fucking point?

Lloyd
You'd have to be oldr than that, Lloyd Parsons.

Care to explain why you changed your posting name after using it for 10 or 15 years? Or why somebody with a happy retirement like you describe having would waste it shilling for Apple on Usenet?

Wasn't aware that I had changed my posting name over the years. I'm sorry that it upsets you, but you'll just have to suffer! :)

As to a happy retirement, yep I'm pretty happy in retirement. Posting in usenet is something I enjoy doing for a bit most days.

At other times I'm on the golf course, or playing the organ, or watching TV, reading a book, reading email, surfing the web. All at times that are most convenient for me, and I can do as much or as little of all of that totally on my timeclock!

Speaking of the organ, how did you make out?

Not worth a damn! :(

I had a couple things I wanted to fix. One pedal was intermittent and the console lights on the side panel need replacing.

Got the pedal done, and cleaned up all the switches for all the pedals while I had the switch assy opened.

But the damned lights require that the center console come all the way out to get to them. Quite a few connections between the console and the rest of the organ and not one damned cable is marked in any way.

Called the factory and they assured me that was the only way to do it. So I just buttoned it all back up and said to hell with it until the next time it bugs me about the lights.

I figure I could take a few pictures with my phone and mark at least some cables a bit and get it done. Sounds like a great winter project!

Question: What's better than roses on a piano?

No idea, I know you're dying to tell me!
