4. Ball cocks are
easy to replace. Try a screw-nut for ball recycling (in nose gear).

10. Is Your Sound Card Integrated With The Motherboard (Aptiva?)
Or do you have an IRQ conflict between your soundcard and some other device or card installed on your computer?

14. To be honest
I haven't the foggiest. I'm one of those people who have no business being on-line because of my computer ignorance. And I'm the partner in the relationship with the (supposed) technical expertise!

Now that's a REAL joke!

16. No....Mainly because I didn't know I should
Its probably something really embarrassingly simple that I should know but don't.

12. I'm surprised you don't have a comeback for
screw nut for ball recycling, it is an actual part on an aircraft's nose gear.
As for soft-core tech: in French one waits for the glue to become loving instead of tacky before applying whatever you are glueing together.

13. Me too...
I think the late hour might have something to do with my overall lack of cleverness right now. <sigh>

Thanks for the explanation though... I thought you were making it up. :-)

15. I replaced the ballcock in our toilet at work last week
Could that be considered sexual harrassment? :smoke:

17. Only if
the ballcock objected to your gender or if you were not the gender it preferred for replacement.
