GM Ed,

 HG> There's just a small "problem", the text in swedish is invariably
 HG> printed with much smaller text (types). Apparently the swedish talking
 HG> humans are supposed to have a much better eyesight.

EV> IIRC Mark is the one who mentioned I could pres the CRTL Key  and
EV> move the Mouse Wheel to Enlarge or Shrink what I see in Firefox
EV> Browser.

It's not any text on the screen I'm talking of, it's the text on the
products in the grocery and other outfits.

EV> Me too, both are chemicle reactions, either to change the Film
EV> Emulsion or the Copper on the PC Board to get the desired change.

 HG> Yes, I know, 32F is a number I remember, and then the Fahrenheit scale
 HG> goes up/down roughly 2F to 1C. NOTE, I wrote roughly, actually 1.8.F.

EV> 32F is 0C .

Of course I know that, that's why it's good to keep that in mind.

 EV> I have forgotten that the U.S. Units are called Imperial and have
 EV> thought the Japanese Units were the ones called Imperial, My Mistake

Yes.

 HG> I think that expression may come from Britain having a lot of colonies
 HG> around the globe. They were said to belong to the british imperium or
 HG> commonwealth.

There are differences that you may not be aware of, in both length and
volumes between english = Imperial(UK) and US specifications.

An US gallon is 3.78 litres, while an UK gallon is 4.55 litres.
A UK mile is 1.61 kilometres or backwards 1 km is 0.62 UK mile.
In my Weights and Measurements Table, the Length of a US mile isn't
mentioned.

EV> I got a Email from Tripp-Lite and it said the UPS I have charges the
EV> battery and a reduced rate when I turn it off.

In that case it's a fire hazard. If the mains switch doesn't isolate it
from the AC net, it wouldn't pass the security laws of equipment here.

EV> I have read about Servers using Linux OS's, didn't know any were
EV> using OS/2, Thanks.

Yes many large companies used OS/2 for their servers, and some still do.

EV> It's a Full Time Job for A Electronic Repairman keeping up to date
EV> on all of that stuff too, isn't it?

I'd say it comes naturally and automatically, if the interest is there.

EV> From what I read at askwoody.com of His comments and Other People
EV> commenting on His articles, WINTEN isn't for the ordinary computer
EV> user.

That seems likely, from my experience.

EV> It's a week after New Years Day, and I'm still catching up reading
EV> BBS mail.

I can note that, shame on you, hi.
