GE Jean,
JP>> Why not go to the BIOS and enable write protection ?
JP> This I find in BIOS, third from the top-left menu, Adavnced
JP> BIOS Features as "CPU Virus warning" or words to that effect and I
JP> have Enabled it.
Yes, I can do that, and also protect the BIOS with a password.
HG> USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.
JP> Diskette ? What are those ? :-)
You know <BG>, they are small round magnetic disks, housed in 3.5"square
(almost), plastic covers.
They are very useful for transferring OS/2 programs, from one machine to
another. The BBS machine doesn't have USB support, the laptops do, and
OS/2 programs and text files are as compact as they were in the DOS era.
Just test it. Take a text file created in Windows and save it as a *.txt
file. Then compare the size in kb's.
HG> I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages
HG> immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.
JP> I have not used this function at all, I can not even comment on it.
I did find a setting "to save as file". I have set it on, and I'll check
next time if it helps.
HG> I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect to
HG> that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more
HG> up-to-date version.
JP> I am reading it but no help here, Holger. Ask Alan, he knows it
JP> all.
He reads this, so we'll soon read about it if he has found out something
I do know another ham that knows a lot .... I may soon hear from him.
HG> I seem to be occupied for at least five years after my death ;o).
JP> I would be so lucky but let me wish it on you.
TNX, HI.
Our friend Ed has disappeared behind the horizon.
I hope he's still kicking.
