Goodfellas

Us folks here at MSFN are POSITIVE.. POSITIVE.. POSITIVE.. Anybody have any good jokes to cheer up this place? Ok I'll start! I'm not a fan of spring cleaning. Let's be honest, I'm not into summer, fall, or winter cleaning either.

I DO hope this makes a positive difference for us using NM28!

Yeah, I remember enjoying the sounds and animation during the boot sequence for 95 and 98 quite well - good memories.

9 to 5

Thank you for sharing that with us, Sampei, and I'm happy to see you back here again. Yeah good memories on Windows 95 and I forgot much of the DOS commands that I learned in my 20's. It sounds like you enjoyed a nice career in IT and I'd bet it was exciting to say the least and to see what its become now and how 'in the dark' people were back then and just how "trusting" we were. My first computer was a Hewlett-Packard but I cant' recall the model. I still have (both) windows 95 and windows 98 (I purchased Windows 98) with the keys and I save them for the memory sake. XP came installed on this Dell 745 and my Dell Dimension 3000.

Indeed and I did start with Windows 95 and moved up to 98 and stayed with that way WAY past its prime until XP was forced upon me. I just dabbled with ME on an old laptop and hated it and I did use 2000 for a little while until that computer was malware city and I thew it in the ocean. Ha!

Lol, yeah, but don't sell yourself short; you help people on here and contribute very well to this forum.

Yeah I know the constant power on and shut down aren't good for the computer, but I have to power down everything and turn off all electronics by 8PM now due to my living conditions and sleep issues.

Actually I was recently asked to join a mental health Discord group but they want to much personal information (phone number) to verify and I'm not gonna do that; so I also have no use for it, it would seem.

Hi there and just the fact that you replied tells me that something I said was meaningful and my presence at MSFN is for a reason and purpose. Yeah we just make the best of life as possible given the circumstances and yeah I tend to think in decades, too. No worries you said plenty with (both) what you wrote and didn't. Just those 2 words "I have" made my day, my friend. Yes and quiet is good without TV (especially the news) sometimes and I rely on my DVD collection as of late with my plant. Like for instance right now I have ever so slightly amityville horror running whilst I'm on here typing and its quiet and the guys are doing their own thing and not bothering me. I think you guys know when I go all mister blobfish on ya I'm just joking or got hit with the silly stick - I don't even know how that started or when but one day it came to me and now I'm (the lovable) mister blobfish of MSFN. ha! Be well @UCyborg and again, thank you very much and you're doing just great and making a living whilst following your gut feeling(s) and look at how you've contributed to MSFN (not just the money) but with your knowledge and honesty. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) look forward to hearing much more you have to tell us about anything. Sal

"truer words have never been spoken"! Yeah, but even though I "fool around" with linux I still keep going back to windows and will struggle with leaving XP someday but when the association forces a new computer on me I'll have to deal with whatever it comes with. Well I know I don't have to but my knowledge is limited ya know.

Just read that article, and I'm sad to say, its more than a little over my head and me (the adorable) mister blobfish still doesn't get it. See ... I'm man enough to admit it Sorry guys, I ran out of like or I'd like both of your postings. PS: <OT> Doubt I'd be able to run Supermium (but I"m still gonna try with 1 tab open and I'll be patient if its slow) either for that matter since my PC struggles to even run @NotHereToPlayGames chrome browsers. Sigh <OT>

Ok thank you very much, then I'll stick with 68.13.7b then. Yes I realize his English is sometimes a little hard to understand but I usually know what he means. I wasn't sure that is why I posted the picture and I didn't know my what SSE actually meant until now and I don't want to not benefit from further releases if that is the case when this version gets outdated; if further releases follow along the lines of this upcoming one than I'd suffer a poor experience from them as I now see it. Thanks again :)

Ok looking forward to it @feodor2 today, but I'm just trying to get this through my thick scull (hehe) am I able to run this new version on my system and will I see a benefit? Thanks for your hard work and I LOVE your browser. Sincerely, Sal

Wherever You Go, There You Are!

Also same here, but should be tricky with the following low specs. Still can't wait but I get the feeling I'm gonna stay with @NotHereToPlayGames chrome builds on my aged system.

I can't guarantee every day will be a 'good day' but I need to take advantage of those moments and make the best of them in the best way(s) possible. Digidave AKA Ponder used to tell me that I shouldn't wallow for too long and I remember that advice ... along with its 100% "normal" to be unstable in a 100% unstable world. I actually doubt he'll see this and I don't know where he posts anymore either and I don't cyber stalk either. Just a few places and the same old thing everyday for me like a broken record. Some tech news here and there, I don't know. I guess I miss the old MSFN when I joined in 2018 as sal here and the way it used to be and there was this togetherness that is no longer present; but maybe I'm alone in this feeling - quite possible. I joined manly for @roytam1 and his browser builds and learned a lot (still learning) and here I am mister blobfish, but perhaps all things must change and all good things come to an end eventually. People part ways and friendships break and I had to learn that the hard way and I'll never allow anybody very close anymore to prevent hurt because I'm actually VERY sensitive. Even us blobfish have feelings; you know. Ok and okay.. Just a quiet evening with my plant. See ya in the AM L8r

I hope we haven't lost you @Sampei.Nihira here. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) would miss you very much. Understand, though, if you'd rather stay quiet going forward and not reply and regardless All's well that ends well so they say. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your retirement.

Overall things could be better but could be MUCH worse and I've taken back my morning walks to the store because I don't drive and the other guys here drive me crazy and I want to get out. I've also restarted using cologne again (for me, not for others) I feel it improves my self-esteem and I like guys cologne again and got sick of women's perfume. I can always switch it up as I see fit; of course. Still have to filter out the news or totally not watch it at all which leaves me uninformed to a large degree. I don't have a smart phone and I now (why I see it now is beyond me) but people are wearing smart watches and I hear music and see people talking on it ... and wonder to myself wtf ... you can't wait?!?! Besides I'm in no mental state yet to digest any bad news because we are in political nightmare city in the US now and we couldn't be more divided and I keep my view(s) to myself around other humans. Even Hollywood is breaking down now and those folks we put up on a pedestal are seeing what comes along with that star status and karma is a beyotch. Still whilst coming a (very) long way, I still have a (very very) long way to go to improve myself and get back what life has robbed away from me, but I have more drive than I did before and the determination is strong to get healthy again because its been too much wallowing in self pity for far too long and whilst its good to rest, there is a huge difference between resting and wallowing and staying down in the gutter (which I've been guilty as charged). I've also started to go through the closet and wear things besides sweat pants all the time in a depressed state of mind and I get in the shower now early and am also shaving again and trimming the beard up to a neater look to improve that self-esteem. Sure, yes, I know I can't get back the years I drank away and lost and are now gone, but I want to make my remaining time on this god forsaken planet (somewhat) worth it. I guess I just want to be left alone at 50 (hard 50 years and believe me it show on my body every day and second). I don't like talking on the phone and people are FAKE FAKE FAKE and I simply have no time to put up with other poeple(s) ways and traits. I will speak to a few people but I keep it on a superficial level and I'll NEVER EVER trust anybody ever again. Nobody will ever be able to break down the human firewall guard I keep up. People have let me down far too many times to even allow myself to ever trust again; even though I Still wear my heart on my sleeve because I can't help it - its whom I am. People play mind games and even today on the walk I waved hello and I think I said hi and got back a very dude(ish) peace sign in return ... it 'seemed' friendly but I know better because people can't hide from me and I "see" the *real deal* regarding people and their games. For me and my own self preservation just best to play along and go with the flow with the current and with the tide and change while in motion for forget quickly because life is about NOW and that moment is gone and best to be prepared for the next moment. Well I had no intent to write today but apparently I needed to do such so I indulged myself. I sincerely hope everyone here at MSFN is doing well. I guess life is so short sometimes and we never know our expatriation date(s). Be well, guys. Sal EDIT: Sorry guys, yeah right, like anybody is reading anyway hahahaha but information comes to me scattered and my mind works in mysterious ways and that is why so many edits an also have to fix mistakes (brain damage) sorry. Yeah, I just realized I spilled soda in the keyboard - its sticky but I think I can clean it up and they keys work fine luckily. Ok and still thinking of you @Digidave AKA Ponder. See Dave ... I don't give up on friends that easy, but sorry, I can't go back to AF. I put AF in the past where is belongs; hope you understand, Dave. Beside that forum now belongs to Pedro and the trolls. I'm still a proud Square Peg!

^^Thanks

Hmmm ... Cinnamon didn't work all that well on my system so I used Mate and XFCE, but I'll admit mate looks more simplistic to my eyes. Keep in mind I don't install it, rather, I just use Live DVD's for pleasure and fun and testing and will continue to remain with Windows XP.

Well we'll see I guess, I'll give it a go even with my Delll 745 but I doubt it would run on the Dell Dimension 3000 with even lower specs.
