“That was them???
Now I'm with the repubs on this one...ACORN is evil!”

“But they were just fine with the BUSH/GORE results.

Obama won by what record margin?? Sorry, ACORN is NOT that good.

What is this, the GOP one-blame-fits-all?”

“I'm sure you were just trying to be humorous, bimplebean. With a name like that, what other excuse could you have?

However, the dial-up, to which I referred, if you read my response carefully, specifically mentioned that, when my XP with DSL was disabled, I used an old computer -- with Windows 95 and a dial-up connection -- so that I would at least be able to get onto the Internet to retrieve my email.

I had no functioning computer at home and, while waiting for my XP computer (with DSL) to be repaired and the opportunity to buy the Windows 7 computer not yet available because of the October 22 launch date, I was able to use the old system as a functional (though very slow) back-up.

Regarding the modem "tease" I haven't a clue what that meant, unless you believe everyone (even with only one computer) has to have a wireless router system or some such.

Honestly, the superior attitudes some of you have, as opposed to those like Stephanie, who clearly was trying to help, is beyond me, and when you make statements such as you did you're putting a slam on many, many HuffPost readers, who may not need or desire the techno stuff and latest gadgetry.

In any event, my Windows 7 computer is no more, and, for the moment, I am happily back with my XP, surfing the Internet very fast with the top DSL speed, enjoying my webcam and printer and watching crisp, clear videos. Oh, and I got a pretty good protection system (Webroot) so I'll hopefully be safe for awhile.”

“Thanks, bimplebean (though I almost feel like I've just insulted you!)

I, too, have a Visioneer scanner, which was the only thing that did not work when I upgraded to XP in 2004.

So, I kept my Windows 95 computer at the ready, and whenever I needed a scanner, I plugged it into my old Panasonic 4410 printer (which also worked with XP) and then connected that to the Windows 95 computer. I was pissed at the time, and it seems as if Visioneer has not changed its spots for newer buyers such as yourself, who want it to work for Windows 7.

Interestingly, and as a side note, while waiting for Windows 7 availability after my XP was struck with a disabling virus, during that week I plugged in the old Windows 95 and was able to use its modem and dial-up connection to at least get my email and basic Internet stuff (though it's much slower now with the designs of the new Internet web pages than it was when I used it in the late nineties through 2004. It never took several minutes just to load a page). So, if you are able, don't throw that old computer away, as it can come in handy for emergencies such as mine.

Let's hope our message gets through.”

“I was offered overdraft protection back when all I had was checks to write, no debit card. I refused it. If you can't refuse a service then it should be illegal to impose it on you, IMHO.

Suppose the banker asked me if I wanted fries with my deposit and I said no, and then he had the security guard force them into my jacket pocket with his gun drawn and pointed at me? Really, what's this world coming to?”

“I know this is terrribly cynical of me, but I think we're long past the days a majority of the US population is capable of agreeing on anything at all. Dead bodies piling up in our own streets will motivate some of us, but as long as there is any way at all to hunker down in denial (helped along with TV and criminally cheap refined carbs), you can expect to get every ounce of apathy America can muster.”

“Aspatame causes problems with neurochemicals. It was know for about twenty years it causes memory problems and lowers the threshold for seizures. Now a whole generation grew up on it. It caused blisters and a large number of health problems in some people. It is basicly sucrose with chlorine added to it. It is similar to pesticides and was discovered during pesiticide research. Soda also contains phosphoric acid which can interfere with your ability to digest food properly and interfere with calcium metabolism. There is a long list of problems from all of these products. I use Stevia now for a sweetner which is a plant. It has been used for hundreds of years. The FDA blocked it's use in this country, but allowed the use of these toxic substances. Why? Money as usual.”

“bimplebean
I don't have the link because it was given to me from a friend, that it mention the name of this Component= ASPARTAME and is used in many products like NUTRAEQUAL/SPOONFUL/NUTRASWEET, made by Monsanto.

When the temperature exceded 86f Alcohol in Aspartame it converts in EFORMALDEHYDA, And later in methabolic acidosis wich turns into an ANT-KILLER POISON.

The Estevia herb is a natural sweet that help to neoutralized sugar, But it wasn't aproved by FDA for years because their Loyalty to Monsanto.

I hope this would help you to search into it.

p/s stop drinking any of those diet-cokes-diet-pepsi, And so forth.”

“Nutra(sic)Sweet is really nasty stuff. Heat it up to make your own methyl alcohol.”

“do you have insurance?

we need a "public option" for mental anguish, alone. during the bush years it often felt like my head was going to explode, the last 8 months my blood pressure rates haven't gotten any better.

even dogs get prozac these days...”
