Take a look what's happening overseas. <br /> <br /> The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.<br /> <br /> As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".<br /> <br /> In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.<br /> <br /> The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.<br /> <br /> There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.<br /> <br /> In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.<br /> <br /> Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.<br /> <br /> Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.<br /> <br /> By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".<br /> <br /> During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.<br /> <br /> Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza.

I have a weird schedule and we haven't come up with a meet time yet so I am doing what I can and when Roy or Randy make it up this way, then we will get together.<br /> Now for the door issue in getting it to fit...I would have to rip out the door frame itself to get this thing in the room, so even if I had gotten the door off its hinges, I still would have had an issue. Actually I would have two because now I would have to get the door back on the hinges.<br /> Figured out the problem though( or at least found out how to work around it. I was going with a downloaded screensaver that was causing the glitches. I changed screen savers and haven't had any issues since. Of coarse I just now loaded the engraver driver, so we will see. I am running around all day tomorrow, so it will be Saturday before I can do a test run (per book instructions) to make sure everything was put in right. And if not, then I know where to go for help.<br /> Thanks for the advice and the moral support from the ones who showed me that I am not the only one that has trouble fitting square pegs into round holes.</p> <hr /><a name="a6542_23"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.23">#23</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Franklin (FW_HAYNES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.22">#22</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> It can be easy to fit a square peg into a round hole. But as you have found out, not if the square peg is too large. <hr /><a name="a6542_24"></a><p><b>From: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.24">#24</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Franklin (FW_HAYNES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.22">#22</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> <p>Hi Franklin .... I think I might have a solution to your Vista problem. Get Norton's Disk Partioner program and it will create any number of partitions you will need then instal XP under one of the new partitions and use the, I believe, dual boot-up option. This allows you to choose which OS you want to use. I have never utilized that but should work for you. I don't think you have to have an additional disk drive.</p> <p>Good Luck!</p> <hr /><a name="a6542_25"></a><p><b>From: Franklin (FW_HAYNES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.25">#25</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.24">#24</a>] 7 Apr 2007</p> That is what I was looking to do. Generally, I can partition out a computer with no problem, but since Vista is an alien to me, I was having difficulty figuring it out. Thanks for the advice. I may have figured out my issue, but if not I will look into getting the Norton partitioner. <hr /><a name="a6542_26"></a><p><b>From: gt350ed</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.26">#26</a>]<br /> 9 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.24">#24</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> John: Not intending to hijack this thread, I just wanted to know whether you received the reply that I sent you immediately after receiving your email. <hr /><p>Message 6542.27 was deleted</p> <hr /><a name="a6542_28"></a><p><b>From: RALLYGUY (RALLYGUY1)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.28">#28</a>]<br /> 10 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Doug (JDOUG5170)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6542.11">#11</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> <p>When we purchased our 8 color automatic screen printing press (used), the company that we had bought it from was having a new 10 color installed in it's place.
