Anybody hear from Sandy G?
 

Looks like the last time he visited was November 21, 2017.

Been a while. Also the squirrel has been absent. Hope they are
both OK........

73 Zeno
LFOD !

He said he was doing ok at that time, but I haven't seen him here or on facebook since. I hope he's ok...

I was gonna call Sandy and see how him and his wife are..... Maybe ill ring today :)


EDIT:

I called and sandy and his wife are in good spirits and ok :)

I guess he is having problems with his laptop again..... (It wasnt all cleared up from the spill in the keyboard)


We talked about 1/2 hr..... I love Sandy!!

That's good news! Thanks for the update.

That man needs a Mac like there's no tomorrow.
I keep up on W10 issues on Reddit, and there are daily Windows Update horror stories over there. Like major hard drive mfg's units suddenly becoming incompatible overnight, updates of death, and such. Obviously some PCs keep on working, but there's a lot of collateral damage going on...

He needs a ToughBook with BSD on it. Something like a CF 31.

I talked to Sandy this afternoon. He's working on getting his computer back online. He's OK.

Super!

If he's still on Windows, don't let him update. (Although it's likely MS will ignore those wishes and do it anyway.) Lots of horror stories out there.

...

The key is up-to-date Windows 7. The problems are mostly centered around Windows 10.

Chip is correct. Up to date Windows 7 is the best!

I have a 1 year old Dell that is useless, automatic update bricked it. Wife is now without her computer, now to figure out how to reinstall the BIOS on a computer with no keyboard and no usable mouse....

Looks like we have gotten way off topic!

Ah at least we know Sandy is ok right? :)

Yeah, we do.

Given that you called him earlier to check up on him you should be the last one asking US whether he is okay now...
Sometimes I really don't get how you think.

That could be said of anyone if one were to pick their brain long enough. The only way around that would be a Vulcan mind meld, and then a neck pinch if one gets but still strongly dislikes what they find out. Dude just has a strong tendency to think out loud.

I wonder if you were in a bad mood buddy when you posted this reply??

I wasnt asking anything.... I just said "AT LEAST WE KNOW HE IS OK RIGHT?" .. I was just telling the others I talked to him and he is OK :) (Kinda speaking 3rd party)

Things are ok my friend!

I will find Sandy a good hard drive, and give him a ToughBook. I have a CF 30 I will donate to him. He will need a AC adapter.

I love him and his wife.......Everytime I call him its a fun talk :)

Its sad he cant be out here much anymore........
