HOLA Roypcox, Shadowcaster & alles mis amigos: I appologize for not explaining!! Time for me is very very erratic since lightning had struck me in 1991, since the first thing it erases is the fact that
He struck you ("Choose you" used to say my compadre Lucio of Náhuatl tradition) because it affected my hipothalamus
("controler" of my inmediate memory, or it's "driver" in PC lingo), and went without inmediate memory
(what allows you to proceed & finish any project or undertaking; also allows you to fly from take-off, do the navigating & enjoy the view, until landing & tie-up)- for some 4 years, but since most humans think I am kind of peculiar anyway, nobody noticed my condition. Being autistic helped a lot, I believe: we do not need to use inmediate memory so much, because we are just living this moment of life to the full & ignored be all others!! I was unknlowingly stoned to the full & for free!! Back to the 60's...
After a Skydive over Puerto Escondido, I noticed something was back: I started memorizing my inmediate life again... SOMETiMES & SOMETiMES NOT!! That explained why the calendar was recording 4 years, that for me were less than 4 months. My hippothalamus
(my amigdala) was recording erratically, turned off at most times. After retracing my steps I arrived at the spot were I got struck... 10 years before!! Not only with age that condition is not improoving much, but the derelict
(and senile like me) HP Pavilon Entertainment dv6736nr, went TOTAL RESTORE: formating the C partition from the D partition, plus all the bloatware from HP added for FREE!! 14 years ago, when I was introduced at disasemblig, cleaning PC's & reassembling, install Windows OS, Antivirus & blasted updates for the rest of the day, I could do the whole process in one shot.
But now, the whole process takes me FOUR SHOTS, plenty of excuses from Microsoft with
A- Recomend us? B- Not Recoment us C- Undecided...
.
ON SHOT Nr. ONE, the PC froze in the process. Yes, the poor thing became catatonic & had to take battery out, disconect & start all over again. Courtesy of a worn C:disc drive. SECOND SHOT: I was finishing installing A CENTURY OF FLiGHT, all Classics fom Lynn & bill Lyons, textures from the Tri-Motor Project, ACG iVM Duxford... & ETCÉTERAS, when Microsoft decided to ask for my Windows ViSTA Key. That means looking for the magnifying glass, then gess where that number is hiding & after10 years & two owners, the sticker's surface is seriously degraded & start the guessing game, but not too much or Microsoft Security meassures will block you for ever & ever. Then, the
"Please unlock me" game takes for ever & ever 2. So, ready for SHOT Nr. THREE: HAVING CORRECT NUMBERS TATOOED iN THE PALM OF MY HAND.
Then, after downloading Reader, Flash, Shockwave & Java...NO, they do not install!! So I decided for a FOURTH SHOT & call it TARGET PRACTiCE instead of BORiNG. NO, that did not make newly downladed Reader, Flash & etcétera less dormant. By chance I went Left Key PROPERTiES, and noticed the EXE file said at the bottom UNBLOCK!! Magically, that activated each one of the downloads
(Rise of Flight, 8.3 GB, included): new
(for me) security meassure of Firefox downloads... & now I am back in bussines
For a long time, I hope!! Aparatus with the owner's sindrome
