Being unable ( medically ) to work for others is not fun or
anything positive.  However I am trying to keep active and to
teach myself as much electronics as possible.  I enjoying
tinkering and building and designing things even if not practical
or if not working then I learned.
I also do not have a car to use every time I wish to leave these
confines of this room of mine.  If I had a job then I would love
to earn a car.  I haven't heard of anyone yet wanting to get rid
of a car that runs.  But I pray. But being practical and
realistic I can wish. If anyone wishes to get rid of a car PLEASE!
I would love to have a job putting together things but have no
clue to arrange that.
I would do anything to be back on the air as a DJ or an on camera
Mc.  I really miss that.  Even as a off air Tech.  At least in a
field that I dearly love.
If you can help please     E-Mail me at DOCP@CALIFORNIA.COM

Hello All...
I have a neighbour who bought a machine second hand, but got no disks or docs
for the software on the machine. Including Win95!! I'm looking for a copy of
Win95 to help them bring their machine to legit status (i.e. nothing pirate.)
Can anybody help that's local to the Ottawa, Ontario area or reasonably
ose?
BTW, they have no CD player for this machine so the media of choice is
diskette.
