One mystery solved.
Mysterious non-customer number keeps calling.
Turns out it's a neighbor from up the street. We've been butt-dialing each other.
The new mystery is, we can't figure out when or why we exchanged numbers.
We'll probably do a cook out and have a few beers then sort that part out.
@kdfrawg Though, I will say I prefer to hit the bypass (Or go straight through if I catch the traffic right), get right back on I75-S and keep driving than fight the airport.
@kdfrawg The last time I got to go to the bank, I had a stack of 12 checks piled up. I seldom even have time to go to the restroom. Flying or driving to Florida? No way.
I give you my cell number for emergencies only.
"I need to order some invoice forms but all of your lines are busy", is not, I repeat NOT a damned emergency.
An emergency is, "Our building burned down. We are working out of a temporary rented space, out IT guy has a server setup and we'd like our most recent backup restored to it"
That is why you have that number.
ARRRRGH
Rest of office informed that I will soon cease accepting calls or queries so it can clean this office out, take an orbital machine to the floor, rewax, and polish so I'm not living like a damned mechanic back here
Most of the prior pic is headed to the recycler when I am done here. Had to scour the far corners of the building to come up with it.
Windows 98 machine resurrected and obtaining IP leases. Serial port functionality is assumed to be working since the rodent is working. About to check parallel port since the data transfer will be much faster using that instead of db9
@skematica Originally a 5.25 floppy. It has a 3.5 in it ow that still appears to work. Fighting to get the thing on the network, presently
I am not flying to Florida. I am not flying to Florida. I am not flying to Florida.
I do not think this monstrosity will survive a trip to Florida.
Before anyone says, VM, build me one that can use laplink over db9 cables to suck data from a DOS computer then connect to the Internet to FTP said data to me.
