(10:43:48 PM) Norm78: Trying to load it from Windows on the laptop, but it is very slow going.

(10:47:42 PM) norm75: I don't get it, the 11 Mbps slow wireless should still be several time faster than my internet connection, Maybe the applet is a memory hog?

(10:48:35 PM) rmg: had no problem with that

(10:48:46 PM) rmg: only getting it to work

(10:50:25 PM) Norm78: Great, HP quick play services are chewing up 90% of the cyclles on my laptop.

(10:51:28 PM) Norm78: cycles.

(10:53:34 PM) rmg: it's broken

(10:53:52 PM) rmg: just tried with Teddy's laptop

(10:54:03 PM) rmg: didn't work

(10:55:22 PM) Norm78: Not working in my Windows, either. Just opened the Win firewall to Firefox, all ports.

(10:57:58 PM) Norm77 left the room (quit: Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).

(11:00:15 PM) Norm78: Tried temporarily killing the Win firewall. It did not help the java IRC applet.

(11:06:24 PM) mumblesNcream: need SUN java over msjava ?

(11:06:55 PM) rmg: it is in Windows

(11:07:18 PM) norm75: I don't know, I'm looking for a common thread.

(11:07:26 PM) rmg: and it is in Ubuntu

(11:07:59 PM) PacsGuest28: Only need one Java app page running.

(11:10:36 PM) PacsGuest: Something weird just happened on the Java applet, there.

(11:11:20 PM) rmg: still not working for me

(11:12:12 PM) norm75: Good point on the Ubuntu Java, Randy. So far the only common thread seems to be that the IRC Java applet doesn't like laptops.

(11:12:14 PM) rmg: not working in Windows either

(11:12:57 PM) rmg: can't try any other way

(11:13:09 PM) rmg: laptops are all I have

(11:14:24 PM) rmg: running wireless at the moment

(11:14:42 PM) norm75: So is my laptop.

(11:14:46 PM) rmg: I can try going wired in Windows

(11:15:30 PM) rmg: no difference

(11:16:28 PM) mumblesNcream: Try taking it off your lap and bolting to a desk ?

(11:19:16 PM) Norm78 left the room.

(11:19:59 PM) rmg: time for me to get some sleep

(11:20:04 PM) mumblesNcream: Now only norm75 is left to speak

(11:20:18 PM) rmg: talk to the bears

(11:20:37 PM) mumblesNcream: rmg51: can go to sleep while the bears contrinue speaking for themselves ?

(11:20:43 PM) rmg: but not for long

(11:21:04 PM) rmg: they want to go bowling

(11:27:03 PM) rmg: might cover more terminal commands

(11:27:27 PM) mumblesNcream: do you know some ?

(11:27:41 PM) rmg: and maybe going over the different desktops

(11:28:08 PM) rmg: still haven't learned terminal
