Asleep at the wheel

[Lil' Dave]

Guess this newsgroup monitoring is somewhat like Congress. Asleep at the
wheel. Wanna buy a watch?

How many people with "small savings
accounts" closed those accounts in
response ot recent ecomomic news...

Circumstance - Venezuela closing its
doors to U.S. ambassodors.
Shortly afterwards, a hurricane enters the
Gulf coast in vicinity of oil derrricks, and
onshore that has oil refinement capabilities.
Subsequently, the price of oil crude drops
dramatically.
The Russian version of Wall street is virtually
failiing for some "unknown reason".
A day later, the Russian Navy is having
Naval exercises with the Venezuelan Navy.

Are U.S. senators less obliged to fulfill their
obligation to represent their constiituents
if they are running for U.S. president?
Where were either one of them on Monday
September 22nd, 2008?

For some regulars, this NG is to publicize problems and
get solutions. If no Win98 users have any more problems, does
that not confirm the value of the OS?

Microsoft established the groups on this server (and the web
interface/mirror) as peer support forums. Computer manufacturers agreed
to handle any professional support users might be entitled to as part of
the users' OEM Windows 98 purchases. Microsoft's professional support
for boxed retail and upgrade copies of Windows 98 would probably be
subject to a several year old expiration date. Essentially Microsoft's
"support" is the newer versions of Windows.

Hi Don,

More likely it means not many people are using W98 any longer. I have 98
loaded in VirtualPC for reference use only. I sometimes miss tinkering with
it but the stability of XP overcomes that.
