Good day, Holger.

Why not go to the BIOS and enable write protection ?

This I find in BIOS, third from the top-left menu, Adavnced BIOS Features as
"CPU Virus warning" or words to that effect and I have Enabled it.

OTOH, that machine is mostly used to transfer files (bulletins), from
USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.

Diskette ? What are those ? :-)

I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.

I have not used this function at all, I can not even comment on it.

> I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect

to that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more up-to-date version.

I am reading it but no help here, Holger. Ask Alan, he knows it all.

I think that's up to ourselves. The message activity is certainly low.
I seem to be occupied for at least five years after my death ;o).

I would be so lucky but let me wish it on you.

GE Jean,

Why not go to the BIOS and enable write protection ?

Yes, I can do that, and also protect the BIOS with a password.

USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.

Diskette ? What are those ? :-)

You know <BG>, they are small round magnetic disks, housed in 3.5"square (almost), plastic covers.

They are very useful for transferring OS/2 programs, from one machine to another. The BBS machine doesn't have USB support, the laptops do, and
OS/2 programs and text files are as compact as they were in the DOS era.

Just test it. Take a text file created in Windows and save it as a *.txt
file. Then compare the size in kb's.

I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.

I have not used this function at all, I can not even comment on it.

I did find a setting "to save as file". I have set it on, and I'll check
next time if it helps.

I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect to that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more up-to-date version.

I am reading it but no help here, Holger. Ask Alan, he knows it
all.

He reads this, so we'll soon read about it if he has found out something
I do know another ham that knows a lot .... I may soon hear from him.

TNX, HI.

Our friend Ed has disappeared behind the horizon.
I hope he's still kicking.
