He won the new Miata in the International Motor Racing Research Center’s raffle that I had earmarked as the Emperor II. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to wait the 1,087 days until I’m due a new Miata, er MX-5.
I was out late last night helping a friend to get his wife’s new laptop to print wirelessly to the printer connected to her Windows98SE desktop. It was not easy. Microsoft removed native printing support to Win9x machines from Vista. I kept getting an error message. Searching the web led me to a solution, but it didn’t work the first time and rebooting both the old desktop and the new laptop seemed overly long. Uninstalling and reinstalling the software for the HP all in one was not quick either. But I persevered, and I’m pretty sure it will print now, but even that is slow to happen. I don’t know why, here at the Bogardus Estate the XP laptop wirelessly to XP desktop prints as quick as the from the desktop to the directly connected printer. If they complain about speed, which I doubt will happen based on the speed that things move on the Vista laptop, I’ll look into it.
I was out sort of late tonight at the MMC Holiday party. Had a pretty good time. Donna ended up with a Christmas Snow Globe and I took home a cheapy 6″ random orbital buffer. The anal retentives over on Miata.net in the Car Care Section of the forum would recommend I spend a hundred and a half on a Porter Cable and then more on pads and such, but that is too steep for my blood. I still plan on applying the wax by hand and just using the buffer for removal. I’ll let you know how it works.
Remind me tomorrow to tell you about my Emergency Room visit this morning….
