1426767	2016-10-02 22:32:00	I haven't noticed any speed deterioration yet. possibly because your PC is loaded up to the gills with crapware. Im sure all the complaints of slowdowns after XP SP's & updates were due to other things :-) Do you know what that XP update was for (just curious) . I must have been pretty important for MS to patch an end-of-life OS	1101 (13337)
1426768	2016-10-02 23:28:00	Update for Windows XP (KB898461) Release Date: Jun. 28, 2005 This software update for Windows XP installs a permanent copy of the package installer. The Package Installer for Windows is used to install software updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems and for other Microsoft products. Software update 898461 installs a permanent copy of the Package Installer for Windows version 6.1.22.4 on the computer so that subsequent software updates can have a significantly smaller download size. This has apparently just been made a mandatory update, which is probably why you are only seeing it now God knows what it really does tho :eek:	bevy121 (117)

1426770	2016-10-03 01:55:00	I set this up in a dual boot, run Panda, fire up Puppy most of the time and when I returned to XP, I got that update. I'll check out the updates and Hotfixes for M$ s and see what happened..... maybe.	SurferJoe46 (51)

I've met some people in Pasadena when I lived in SoCal - and they seem to remember a Reverend with a funny accent some years ago . He always told to his congregation and those watching on TV: "When you send money to The Lord - He doesn't want noisy money, just quite money" . As for those Upsidedown Land escapees to Pennsylvania - well, we don't talk about that state here in Montana . (shudder!) New York falls into the same category of non-existence . It's roundup time here in Montana and we might hear an occasional cuss word that invokes either--- or in times of real disgust --- BOTH those state's names in the same under-breath utterance . Those moments are, however, rare . SJ, sorry I didn't get back to your reply earlier! . been fixing up the W10 games on wife's pc, taken them back to W7, still not the same as original W7, she loves to know how "good" she is with Solitaire, rofl . The Rev . had 5 kids 4 girls and 1 boy, he must been pretty strict as there is only 1 grandchild from that lot . A daughter had 1 male child, "excuse the pun" HUEY, don't think he was involved with the chopper with the same name! . Having been to the UK & US of A, we found both languages are bl**dy horrible . No ! the escapees' left from the UK, not "Aotearoa ", "that one will get you guessing", lol . Used to read a lot of paperbacks about the Cowboys of Montana . lurking .	Lurking (218)
1426772	2016-10-04 02:32:00	Dear Lurking: I think (if you haven't read it already) you should read Mark Twain's book called: Roughing It (Wiki article here *) . I found it in an audio book - free, of course - for you to listen to: Roughing It ( . org/search?title=Roughing+It&author=Twain&reader=&keywords=&genre_id=0&status=all&project_type=either&recorded_language=&sort_order=catalog_date&search_page=1&search_form=advanced" target="_blank">librivox . org) which is a public domain audiobook at LibriVox He comes here to Montana in part of the adventure whilst riding on the mail bags with another rider, both of them stark nekkid in the bottom of an Overland Stagecoach in the blistering heat of the Central Western Deserts in the 1840s I think . Another free book - to read unfortunately this time is called The Vigilantes Of Montana ( . google . com/books?id=7djEoQEACAAJ" target="_blank">books . google . com) - well, I wrote a small book report on it and here it is: Being a recent expat from California by way of Arizona and finally to Montana, I've tried to read as many books on old Montana as possible . This book has a blistering account of instant justice at the end of a rope for quite a few miscreants who found themselves at the mercy of Lawmen/Judges/Executioners all wrapped and riding as one agent of law . It's amazing that such justice was as rapid as it was, but the long riders had a serious job to do in The Montana Territory where lawmen were few and very far between . Jails didn't really exist, unless in the form of a cottage or shed that locked on the outside - a trait that still to this day isn't practiced - the lock, on the outside that is . There seem to be no real 'main characters' in the novel as new characters are mustered from the ranks of cattlemen, landowners and generally-considered decent enough persons to ride with them . There is some hodge-podge in characters and if you try to keep them mentally organized, you'll probably have to note them on 3 x 5 cards to keep them straight . Day or night, in this book justice rides to find and deal with the bad guys in a wide-open and very ruthless arena of the new-wild west that in many ways still exists in Montana today - at least by blood lines if not the actual riders or sons-of-riders themselves . A fascinating read - I could not put it down (on my Nexus) after I downloaded it from Google Books . My recommendation is to download the book and take it chapter by chapter, as it is a harrowing amount of gurgling at the end of a rope for so many characters that it seems these riders are hell bent to just hang anybody . There may have been some unfortunate mistakes of hanging the wrong guy or guys - and that too is covered in the book . Read it . Ebook: . google . com/books?id=4T5gBgAAQBAJ" target="_blank">books . google . com Wiki - American humorist Mark Twain . He wrote it during 1870–71 and published in 1872, as a prequel to his first book The Innocents Abroad (1869) . This book tells of Twain's adventures prior to his pleasure cruise related in Innocents Abroad . Roughing It follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861–1867 . After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman (not included in the account), he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west . Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the book . Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, a journey to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and his beginnings as a writer . This memoir provides examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which would become a staple of his writing in such later books as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) .
