I’ve had good luck using a serial port to X/Y/Z-Modem files to and from a Win 95 machine. Teraterm has a version that works all the way back to Win 95.

If the machine has a CD-ROM you can burn a disc on a newer machine to get the Teraterm install files over to the old computer.

Shaved head plus hat, and a pop of color from the glasses.
Book optional.

I was a pretty die hard Linux guy in college, but now I just *do not* have time to mess around. My personal free time is so limited, and I just want to get on with drawing.

I happily donate to open source applications like Inkscape, Pi-Hole, and KeePassXC, but I use those on a Mac.

I have never wanted to march in Seattle pride more than this upcoming year…

Oddly they don't do lamp checking here. The signal system has no visibility to burnt out lamps unlike the US. I'm not sure what the rules are if the driver of a non-CBTC equipped encounters a dark signal. CBTC equipped trains have an onboard display of movement authority, and use ATO in the tunnel.

Town Hall station was as beautiful as the previews made it out to be. I still have a hard time accepting a dark signal as "proceed on in-cab indications" though the rationale makes sense.

Anticipation and cheering as the first train takes the diverging movement through the switch at South Kensington into the Metro Tunnel.

Was a great ride, the train was packed!

It’s *packed* lol

I feel you. I’m the “relay guy” at work and we are trying to emulate all the functions of safety critical relays in a microprocessor based platform. The team is perpetually surprised about what you can accomplish with just the right number of turns of a specific gauge wire.

We call that “significant section loss in a fracture critical structural member”

Miss you, and wishing you all the best.

Maybe consider the Pilot dry erase product line?

Not affiliated with jetpens but have bought from them before and had a good experience.

Also consider wet erase markers if you don’t do a lot of erasing on the spot, and you want to avoid the sticky dry erase “dust”

Yeah I really didn’t have a need for a new phone…but the orange… It’s really great.

Yup, a clean warm moist compress applied 3-4 times a day for 10 mins can help bring it to a head and drain naturally. See a doctor if it doesn’t get better, antibiotics might be required.
