Gimme a break! Only God, the Homestead help techie, the Prodigy techie, the
Outlook Faq Board, the Netscape Faq Board, The Microsoft Faq Board,and Lisa
Harvey know what kind of nightmare I've been going through this rotten
month. My family came this >< close to hauling me to the funny farm as a
permanent resident.
But I've got my website started! May be a while before its ready for any
kind of viewing---but I've got it Started!!! <Kyer shakes her fist defiantly
at the uncaring Heavens> Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
They'll never take me alive! Mom! Why are there so many maitre'des in my
room? No---I don't need a new jacket! Who designed this thing anyway---the
Long Arms of the Law?

Subject: Natalie's employer
Okay, this may seem like a silly question...but who exactly does Natalie work
for? In the United States, coroners work for the county. Is it the same in
Canada? Or does she work for the city of Toronto or province of Ontario? I
remember seeing a symbol on the Coroner's office sign and I thought it was
the province of Ontario, but I'm not sure...
I figured that on this big list full of knowledgeable people, someone should
know... <g>

The site that is used for the Nat's office is, in fact, the
Provincial Coroner's Office, but some of the dialogue in the show
implies that Nat works for the Police. The Toronto Police have their
own Forensic Identification Unit, but I believe that autopsys, DNA
work and such are done by the Provincial unit in reality.

The gun laws in Canada are applied right across Canada.
A private citizen may only transport a handgun in a locked
weapons case, with all the appropriate documentation (A LOT
of documentation), with only a few valid destinations.
Valid destinations include a place of residence, a firing
range, or to transfer (ie sell) to another private citizen
who must also have all the appropriate documentation
(Fire Arms Aquisition Certificate for that specific weapon,
Fire Arms Licence, etc.) Rifles have slightly looser
restrictions since you may also take them for hunting.
Having a gun on your dash in Canada will get you arrested
on the spot. Reaching for it could get you shot. I don't
have Kyers gift for referring to Nick in paragraph, so I'll
cut this short. :)

Subject: Lambert = German male first Name
Hi folks
I was just looking around to find out the meaning of my first Name and
stumbled over Lambert: oldgerman first name, build out of
lant = Land + berath = shining
Funny isn't it?

Subject: May be forced off list for awhile
Guys... If you've been reading my posts of late, you know my computer life
has been turned into Hell on the level of Nick's angst during Last Knight.
I thought I had everything fixed again---but no.
My computer sound is *gone*. It just told me that an empty Wordpad doc was
3.99 Gig (yes, you read that right) in size. I turned off my machine while
a file was still open. Not only did it not warn me of this---it was still
open when I turned it back on.
At first I thought it was the Netscape download, but then I remembered that
I thought it had done that a couple of days ago. Also, there was the matter
of the disappearing text doc.
I can't afford a technician. Debating whether to risk reformatting the
hard drive or just reload Windows95. Never done the former before.
**Lisa Harvey** am sending you the 15kb start of Episode2 part 10. Please
save it in case my backups fail as well. Also, if you don't hear from me
each day, please notify McLisa to take me off Forkni-L If computer totally
dies, overjoyed parents will fight my getting another.
**McLisa** I am hereby authorizing Lisa Harvey to act in my behave should
this disaster prevent myself from doing so. As for Fkfic-L, I have it
copied to another mail server, so it should be fine for a while longer.
Just shoot me now,
Kyer, kyer@p.......

Hi Kyer,
Please understand this is coming from somebody who doesn't know any more
about computers than you do, probably less, but I've been spooked by some
of the same things.
I run two computers on Windows 95 and if I shut down with a file running it
is often up and open when I re-boot, but not always. I have no idea why.
Neither of them show a warning, that seems to be the norm.
Stupid suggestions that have turned out t be answers when I have been ....
distressed by the behavior of the machines: Did you check the mute button
on the volume control? I spent an anxious day on that one. How full is
your hard drive. I know no reason why it should be so but strange things
begin to happen when mine are more than 3/4 full.
Take deep calming breaths and try not to break anything you will want to
use later. It took me two weeks to recover from upgrading to Eudora 4, and
I'm still finding things the new Netscape download did that I didn't know
about (including trashing all my bookmarks).
Do you have anything like Norton Utilities? The de-fragmenter and Disc
Doctor thingys have been helpul in sorting out some problems for me. I have
also found threats useful occasionally, computers are literal minded
creatures and will not know you are kidding (even worse than some
list-members). This works even better with plants.
Anyhow, keep your (metaphorical, of course) pecker up!
Chris

You're reading a piece of Star Trek fanfiction and reading of a ship named
"The Nicholas B." brings a smile to your face.

My apologies to all, that bit of frivolous encouragement was obviously
