@kdfrawg Key West is absolutely beautiful.

@kdfrawg I have a fellow Bass Ale aficionado / customer in Daytona Beach with a house right on the beach itself. That is actually a good idea.

Welcome to my world. :(

You need to look into this. Cappuccino does not like IE6.

If you don't mind, I'm going to CC this to the other 99 percent of the Internet to save myself some typing.

Their system is so ancient, it's only link to the outside world is a floppy drive, serial ports and a printer port.

No this is the Rube Goldberg plan

  • This system goes to Florida with the DOS version of laplink installed and the appropriate cables to connect to their 26 year old machine.
  • Once the data is sucked over to this machine via laplink, they winzip it up and send it, via ftp, to me. This machine has functional TCP/IP networking and can do that.
  • I convert the ancient CTREE data to something from this era and build them an installer they can download and install on a new Windows 10 system that's sitting there and waiting.
  • They send me this computer back when it's over because it has a bunch of my old crap it It that is hard to replace

I need the 98 CD to install Client for Microsoft Networks so it can hit our file server.

Windows 98. I have a DOS system that can FTP and Telnet but I'm not about to send that one off.

Hmm. No Windows 98 CD. Have an ISO but no CDR blanks. Also, not certain that the CD-ROM drive in the thing works and I have no IDE CDROM drives to replace it with so..

  • Mount ISO on a linux box.
  • Hit that with FTP from this Frankenstein creation.
  • Copy CAB files over.

It's alive!
And it is not happy about it.
