Hey, nice to hear there is another helpful (?) computer-literate son
helping drag his T3 owning Dad into the new Millenium.  ;-)

Dear Type 3ers,

If you get this message then it means that I have managed to get
back
on line.  I am at my folks home trying to get my Dad's computer
organized to the point where I can get him set up to dual boot
Win311
and Win95 so he can get used to something more modern than Dos.
Right now we have used Partition Magic to repartition his hard drive
and I am trying to move all his applications to a new partition
where
311 and 95 can both see them.  Win 3.11 and Win 95 will each be
installed in their own primary partition so they can be independent
of each other.  Of course right not everything is SNAFU, except for
his Compuserve directories which I have not touched yet.

I have installed a fresh copy of Pegasus just for me so I can do
email.

My trip down here was not quite uneventful.  After lunch on Monday
my ATsqbk would not start, not a sound.  Of course I immediately
suspected the neutral safety switch, but was sidetracked by some
other symptoms which misled me.  Eventually it turned out to be that
switch, so my shift lever is currently uncovered and I have to touch
the wires together by hand to start.  Works like a charm for now,
but
it did quit completely without warning and I was totally unable to
start by wiggling the shift lever, something which has always worked
on all the other cars I have ever had this rather common problem
on.

Ah yes, another learning experience!  ;-}
