Sorry Tom, but if you ever see me on the bike I will be in full team kit.

As in feathers?

No, as in full '04 team Vini Calderola/Nobili Rubinetterie kit.

If you don't belive me then phone (+41) 91-646 37 01 and ask for team
manager:Roberto Amadio.

Now what do you think?

All this time and he /still/ can't spell "Caldirola"?

I think somebody had better give Signor Amadio a shot of oxygen,
because laughing that hard can really empty out the ol' lungs.
Frankly, I'm a bit worried about him.

That's how cyclists who grew up just north of Geonoa in Alessandria like me
spell it.

Like a cross between a Geo Metro and a Chevy Nova, huh?

Tom did you buy some new coordinates agains?

No, but I updated from Netscrape 4.76 to Netscrape 7.1 which seems to be
causing some extended character set compatibility problems.

Tom, I downloaded Netscape 7.1 too and it fouled up my computer a bit.
I couldn't get it off fast enough. I have found that IE (Internet
Explorer) is as good as it gets. It is fast and stable. What is it
that you don't like about IE?

And why are you calling it Netscrape I wonder, other than the fact
that it doesn't seem to work very well.

I'm not one of those if-it's-Microsoft-it's-bad sorts. But when it
comes to browsers, I hate having to buy third-party software to stop
those damned pop-up ads, pages that suddenly multiply faster than you
can close them, malicious code that infects and takes over your
computer, etc.
For most of those problems, take a look at Opera, for example. It's
fast, and you can tell it to accept pop-up windows or not. For the
malicious code, you can buy some virus-protection software which will
stop most of them. Or you can go with an OS that's less prone to
infection and attacks, like Linux.


Thanks Larry, I have heard nothing but good things about Opera too. I
will maybe investigate that browser. I do get a lot of pop-ups and I
have spyware and adware on my computer like you wouldn't believe. It
takes many minutes for my computer to get up and running. I am
relatively unsophisticated when it comes to computers and it is just
all I can do to post messages to this newsgroup, always my first
priority.

I find that I can't even find my home page any more as it is always
being hijacked by various websites. Where I pick up these home web
pages I haven't the foggiest notion. I am basically a naif wandering
in the wilderness. But as long as I stay connected to my life line
ARBR, I will soldier on in my accustomed fashion.

I don't think I could handle Linux as Microsoft Windows XP Home keeps
me fully occupied for the present. I regularly have to pull the plug
(the power connection) on my computer to get it to stop doing what it
is doing and to get a reboot. Sigh, I don't think I will ever get any
of this figured out.

It may be that I will go back to my beloved library and read books
like I used to before I ever knew anything at all about computers. And
I will take my computer and all its accessories and throw them into
the trash. I can only take so much aggravation.

The best way to get into Linux is to *not* abandon what you're
familiar with. At least, not at first. See if there's someone in your
neck of the woods who is familar with Linux and installing it, and have
your computer set up to "dual boot" - a little menu comes up, and you
choose which to boot to. You can have it default to one or the other, to
avoid the hassle of hitting a key if you want.
You may find, as I did, that nearly all of the things that I do with
a computer, I can do it with Linux. With lots less hassle, lots less
worries about infections, and *lots* cheaper! Priced Photoshop lately?
Then check out how much The GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) goes for.
Oh, those hijacked home pages - it's your registry that's been messed
with. I had to help out a friend in DC a while back with the same
problem. His browser was suddenly bringing up a porn site as its home
page. And, try as he might to change it to something else, when he
rebooted, up would come the porn. The secret is to look at the programs
that come up when you turn on your computer. One of them is resetting
your registry to use its choice of home page, not yours.

If you truly want to get into Linux painlessly without installing or
changing anything try Knoppix. It runs off a cd. Just download and burn an
iso image of knoppix onto a cd, boot to the cd and there you are with a
truly useful and easy version of Linux to enjoy.

It's not how the team spells it, though, and I think that the Directeur
Sportif would be most upset were he to discover that one of his people
consistently mis-spelled the name. Except that were we to draw his
attention to this matter, he would merely clutch his sides and fall about
laughing.

Interestingly, the /last/ time "Fabrizio" was taken to task for this, he
claimed it was a typo. You might at least try to be *consistently* silly,
Fabbo.
