Sorry, Mary...

I tried but my computer here @work only have J2RE 1.4.1. And I'm locked down (can't install anything) thanks to my IT dept. Apparently, 1.4.2 and above are "non-standard" around here.

Just like Dilbert's office!!!

Been looking for you but don't see you (I'm "Minkery").

Um, Mary, wow, the trip to Prague really took it's toll, eh? ;-) Er, nice trunks, I won't ask what happened to the other half of the suit. Must be that Euro influence. Love to chat, but I'm just not in a conducive environment...

you trying to tell me you don't like the new hair style? ;-)

Posted by mary on January 10, 2005 at 08:25 AM PST #

Heh, with that suit, who notices the hair?

Posted by Kris Schneider on January 10, 2005 at 08:36 AM PST #

It's all the rage in Europe. ;-)

I looked for you MaryMary but I got no answer :(.... Guys...pleeeeeeeeeze! You think MaryMary will ever be caught with hair like that?! Personally I would have preferred a pic of Catherine Deneuve in her prime...I think MaryMary looks a lot like her. Classy and beautifil! Like the US equivalent of Marianne, if we had one...

thanks, Tina.

(uh, i think)

so sorry about the technical difficulties on the chat. i can't quite figure out what i'm doing wrong but i promise to try to work through the issues. i'm going to keep the MyJXTA client up on my desktop for a few days at least. So if you want to do realtime chat with me, that's where you'll find me.

assuming i can figure out what i'm doing wrong

Hey, maybe you can get CrazyBob hooked up to chat about the solution to FFS™...

Posted by Kris Schneider on January 10, 2005 at 10:51 AM PST #

that's a great idea! i'll see if i can make that work. (thanks for the TM. really appealed to the marketing girl inside me)

mary

p.s. we got some serious Techno Celebs on the MyJXTA chat. it's really quite exciting.

What are they wearing?

Posted by Kris Schneider on January 10, 2005 at 11:03 AM PST #

oh for heavans sake, it's not that kind of chat, Kris.

mary

p.s. you made me laugh

Very cool tool! I installed it with no problems. Got it going in no time flat, and just as soon as I got on, someone (polo) was there to guide me through the process of using it. The tools under file/preferences are really great. Just be sure to turn down the volume before you enable text-to-speech. I just about jumped out of my skin the first time I heard it talk!!

Close, but no cigar. I've got WebStart 1.2 installed, as well as Java 1.4.1 (corporate standard). I click on the link, it appears to download all sorts of goodies, then tells me MyJXTA fails to start. Oh well, back to trying to figure out why Sol 10 won't install on a V60Z. How can you find a true pioneer? They're the ones with the arrows sticking out of their backs!
