    The three bears had been having some trouble recently and
    had ended up in family court. Momma and Poppa bear were
    splitting up, and baby bear had to decide who he was going
    to live with. So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear
    to see what he thought about living with either of his
    parents. When he asked baby bear about living with his
    father, baby bear said "No, I can't live with Poppa bear,
    he beats me terribly." "OK," said the judge, "then you
    want to live with your mother, right?" "No way!" replied
    baby bear, "She beats me worse than Poppa bear does." The
    judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know
    what to do. "Well, you have to live with someone, so is
    there any relatives you would like to stay with?" asked
    the judge. "Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear
    who lives in Chicago." "You're sure she will treat you well
    and won't beat you?" asked the judge. "Oh definitely,"
    said baby bear, "the Chicago Bears don't beat anybody."

There once was a fellow named Chan
Whose poetry never would scan.
For off was his rhyme
And off was his time
And he always tried to put as many words into the last line as he
possibly
could.

    "You ever get that urge, Paddy? It begins with looking
    down from 50 stories up, thinking about the
    meaninglessness of life, listening to dark voices
    deep inside you, and you think, 'Should I? ....
    Should I? ... Should I push someone off?'"

    Always proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

   Customer: "I'm running Windows '95."   ***-(see below)
   Tech:     "Yes."
   Customer: "My computer isn't working now."
   Tech:     "Yes, you said that."

  "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor,
  "Mr. Nichols, what is the opposite of joy?"
  - "Sadness," said the student.
  "And the opposite of depression, Ms. Biggs?"
  - "Elation."
  "And you sir, how about the opposite of woe?"
  - "I believe that would be giddy up".....

***- I had my first *incident* with my Win95 machine here at
home lately.  I came home to essentially a *corrupted* system
registry.  It was giving me an "IOS" error and it wouldn't let
me boot up in *normal* mode, only *safe* mode.

So..... I made a telephone call to an associate out east... and
he directed me to another associate who..... had me re-install
Win95.  It took about 60-90min to re-install it.  It went relatively
smoothly.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I didn't lose any applications along
the way.  Everything that's commonly used was un-hosed by the whole
event and it was probably a bigger learning event over the 6.5 hours
of time it took when I first started to get it back to normal 
operations and when it was fully restored.

Quite a trip.

In short.... I had to...

1) enable the CD-ROM for DOS mode so that I could install Win95
   from the CD-ROM
2) load and install Win95 from CD-ROM (reboot)
3) enable the modem because *safe* mode disabled it through all
   configurations (reboot)
4) re-install the CD-ROM as a Win95 accessable device (reboot)
5) re-install the Ensoniq Sound Card Drivers (reboot)

and I think that's it..... I think this is a basic installation of
Win95.... install something then re-boot, install something else,
then re-boot, another, re-boot, etc., etc., etc.........

For a *software* only guy up until about 6-8 months ago, I've...

A) installed more RAM (piece of cake)
B) installed another 2.5 GB hard disk 
         (also re-formatted it from NTFS to FAT)
C) took out the CD-ROM while performing *B* and successfully got 
   it back in and operational
D) installed a SCSI scanner on my churche's 233 AMD-K6, 
   64 MB RAM, 4GB HD, machine
E) installed many many kinds of different software packages
F) and now have installed Windows 95.

I've yet to....

G) install a SCSI disk
H) install a NIC card
I) install a sound card
