Computing
WHAT IS GEEK? (1) A formerly derogatory term given to the outcast elite, usually lacking in social graces. The term has been used so liberally by the masses of people that the computer savvy have taken it to heart as not being derogatory but rather the name given to scientifcally savvy folk. (2) A carnival performer who performs grotesque acts, such as biting the heads off of live chickens. Are you a Keyboard Jockey? Do your fingers run smooth to HACK YOUR WAY on the net?

Life is blend with joys & sorrows, ups & downs, struggle & strife! As we push ahead to sail ahoy to achor in port of success, we face challenges and sometimes we find that we have to swim all alone. God gives the strength but it is the encouraging words of friends who soothe the pain like a small story of struggle. STRUGGLE A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force it's body through that littlehole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. So, the man decided to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. BUT, it had a swollen body, and small shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of it's life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly. What he had done in his well intentioned kindness and haste, he did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into it's wings so that it would be ready for flight ONCE it achieved it's freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been...... And we could never fly....... Have a great day, great life, and struggle a little.... Then fly !!! kyon ki fighter hamesha jitta hei - fighter always wins..... Geek experience Surfing...... It so happens that in the mystic silence of the night, while surfing you click through the links and land up in trouble with your Sound Blaster speakers banging loud with the E-card Music or listening to the tunes of 'Love Story' (Free soul site) or 'Titanic' theme put up at any website or any other music. Well, it's definitely a nice feeling to get a cool E card from someone complimenting, congratulating, thinking or just any other topic with music notes vibrating around or a website with music like ours.A Geek experience says 'lower your speaker volumes at night hours if you dont want to wake up the whole house' coz when landing up to a Mataji Darshan at the Hindu Goddess site, the Arti echoed loud in the midst of the night while filling up the form for Prasad....and Oops.......it would not stop till it finished or you come out from the site. The Prasad prooved a prize and Mataji really got the surfer into biiiiig trouble......luckily only to sort for an excuse surfing upto dawn and say, it was coool Mataji prasad coming all our way from the other part of the world. So, next time, if you are an inexperienced Surfer, dont forget to lower your speaker volumes.....Choice is Yours! (You can get the Mataji Prasad if you wish and listen to Arti at Free Soul Sawan Ruparel's site at http://www.mataji.org E-mailing experience of this kind are not unusual anymore.Experiences are our Best Teachers, Afterall.

Which operating systems--Windows 3.11, Win95, WinNT, etc.--will fail at the arrival of year 2000? 2. Following year 2000, which operating systems will be around to upgrade to? --David LoCoco Free souls computing Tests......If youd like to hear what Microsoft has to say on the issue, check out: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/topics/year2k/default.htm and youll b greeted by a smiling Bill Gates. Basically, the PC issue is more of an issue with your PCs BIOS than with DOS,Win3.11, 95 or NT. Each OS has little quirks, but you can read about them on the Microsoft site. To check your computer for the big failure, set it to Dec 31, 1999 11:59PM, let it roll over, and then shut it off for a few minutes. Turn it back on and see what date it reports. If it reports the year as 1900 or 1980, thats bad. If it keeps the right time, that is good. The other thing you can check for is whether it flips over properly with the computer off (set to 12/31/99 and let enough time go by for the computer to think its 2000). Most old computers wont pass the second test, but if you pass the first test, you can just set the date after 2000 hits and it should keep it. If you dont pass, its time to upgrade your BIOS. Contact your computer or motherboard manufacturer to get that. Send in your views on year2000 bug Visit Peter de jagar's site for Y2K Problem at
