She said make sure to buy RV toilet paper and then explained why. I had planned on grabbing a couple of rolls of the Cottonelle

Yetch!
Well we have never had any problem with toilet paper, I just make sure I have at least a couple gallons of water in the Black tank with prescribed amount of black tank chemical, has always seemed top have desolved toilet paper and etc,, very well and nothing getting stuck on the level sensors ,, but to each his own I suppose but then agaiun we buy the cheapy stuff since its going down the drain anyway

Speaking of such,, I am off to get my motor home out of storage now so will be back later on

Success! In all areas, Rich!!!

I've got a bootable XP CD. I hope to get it to the Post Office either today or tomorrow.

The RV trip was grand! We had a blast. The traveling sure is easy in that. And what a breeze when the kids aren't feeling well. Give them Tylenol and send them to bed with a movie - we weren't able to do that in the tent!

Woot Woot Woot,, yeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaa,, perseverance always prevails,,, I want to thank EVERYONE that has worked so hard to get this dog gone disk for me. I was going to ask you a question about all of this when I say this message.

My question is/was/what ever (lol) ,, I have the Windows XP (home edition) "Up Grade" disk with activation key code and an additional key code for two computers that I bought way back in April of 2003 ie; use if you have a previous version of Windows that supports up grading, which includes win 98 ( including Win 98 SE, or ME), so thought if someone out there had one of those operating systems then possibly I could get my XP up grade by using one of those.

Yeppers nothing like having a "tent on wheels",, lol,, knock the kid's in the head and send them to bed ha ha ha,, j/k

You will find the more you use it the more you will love it.

Thak you so muc Terry for everything that you and the PCHF has done for me, it shall never go without saying and donations as I can afford them each month.

The Staff, all of the Tech's and everyone in general has made my experience at PCHF one the most wonderful experiences I have ever had on the Internet.

Congratulations for such a GREAT site,,,,,,,,,,, Rich

Rich,

Since you say that about the old OS versions, I think I might take just 1 more day before shipping and make a copy of one of my old OS's for you as well. Just in case.....

PCHF IS a pretty good place, isn't it?
