Excuse meeeeeeeeeeeee for rantin n ravin butttttttttttt after like 3 days and 8 hours on phone/hold to Upgrade from XP to Vista it drove me to drink n here at Easter even lol. I went to Church Good Friday but my mind was on this dern puter lol I bought one new puter with Vista already on and liked it buttttttttt I had to run the upgrade from XP to Vista on this one and that was a 3 day nightmare marathon grrrrrrrrrrr MY ADVICE fron anyone upgrading an old XP to Vista is TAKE IT TO THE GEEK SQUAD AND PAY THEM ANYTHING THEY ASK AND SMILEEEEEEEE cuz I wouldnt do it for a thousdand bucks. Despite being pretty good on puters and having ran alllllllllll the preparations n windows upgrade advisors and uninstalling a bunch of incompatible software and hardware n doin like allllllll that Microsoft suggested she still refused to install Vista grrrrrrrrrrr and each time it spit out u had to wait 45 mins to get back agaIn cuz it saves NOTHING AFTER a day on the phone with 4 different Hewlett Packard Tech Support dudes named Haahbib from Pakistan, none of whom spoke understandable English mind you, I finally got this Geek who spoke English who in a minute knew the exact problem n hot to fix it (I had told alllllllll the previous dudes there has to be a Windows Knowledge Base article on the problem but noooooooooooo they took remote control of my puter or hung up or sinmply couldnt fix the problem) The Error message was " cant reconfigure computers boot configuration" althOUGH I had ran every BIOS update n had my boot n all like PERFECT as HP n Microsoft suggested. It took a RUN regedit n change one line of data to fix it. Sooooooooooooooo I finally get Vista instaleld but thennnnnnnnn Windows Mail which replaced my Outlook Express POP3 REFUSED TO RECEIVE E MAILS GRRRRRRRR Again, had to be on phome or hold like 5 hourssssssssssss n ranted n raved 3 different dudes till finallyyyyyyyyy they semt me to the Windows Mail section of Vista n this dude fixed it in one minute after HP simply gave up and at first Windows refused to help cuz it was HP licendes upgrade untilllllll I cursed n demanded to talk with a supervisor Vista has improved features I like buttttttttt its a memory hog, I had 2 GB of RAM and added a third GB and now its decent but still a tad slow even on a dual core 64 x 2 3800 chip. The other puter only has 1 GB of RAM but its a factory original Vista installation n its still much better. I was so frustrated the other day when working on it a neighbor called n said a cow of mine was out but I didnt even go out n look, let her get run over or leave I really didnt give a darn at that point lol I never realy liked cows anyway Thank yall I feel better now MORAL OF STORY either buy a new puter with factory Vista or hire a geek at any price to upgrade from XP DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME LOL God Bless n Happy Easter "He Has Risen" John T (Conservative Fuddy Duddy)

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
