yeah, i understand why i have problems.  it's the '2000 memory
[mis]management that kicks in and randomly breaks stuff.

you'd think 64Mb would be enough, but no.  if it take 2+ months
to get a 3com PCMCIA dongle there's no way i'm even going to
go and bother to look for memory -- not in this country.

nor am i gonna let anyone take a vaio apart to upgrade.  to fix
a liquid spill that took out several keys sony vaio service _broke_
the motherboard.  when i shipped it, everything worked except
a few keys.  they told me some bullshit story about how the
liquid had the same properties of hydroflouric acid and that
had killed the motherboard -- nonsense.

64Mb?  that nearly as big as an RM-03 pack.

last time i asked:

    is this [CAT-5] cable crossed or not

some kid started to give me the 3rd degree about what i wanted
to do etc ...  so i told him to answer the question:

    oui ou non

nope too hard.  better off to have an argument.  i think that's
why my french is so good.  years of arguing.

like riggs [_lethal weapon_] says [approx quote]:

    thing get get complex all by themselves
