Advice on "first bike" comparison

I've used Forté Agent/Free Agent on a 486SX/2 66 with 8Mb/RAM.

You'll almost certainly find the larger bike easier to ride and use
with the possible exception of any manhandling necessary for parking,
retrieving from the garage etc. The difference is the speed with which
you can get yourself into trouble, twisting the go handle on a 125
doesn't usually result in anything happening too quickly. Even fairly
low spec commuter 500/600 bikes will out accelerate the vast majority
of cars someway beyond the maximum legal speed.

 

You can run multiple instances of agent to use multiple servers. Probably
not quite what you're after though.

TBH I have *no* idea. But every 125 I've ridden has been pretty unstable.
THis may of course be due to the fact that they were hardly new, whereas I
was IYSIMW.

Summat wrong with your riding skills then. A wheel at each end and a
seat in the middle, what is so hard about it?

 

A heavier bike has a more forceful centre of gravity. A lighter bike
(like a 125) is more easily thrown around.

We're not worthy.

Probably now. *deifnietely* then. I didn't have any riding skills.

Aww. Three days on a bike and I think I know everything.

I use Agent and the german server and I've never felt the need for
multiple servers - why do the people who use them do it? IIRC
something called Hamster works with agent to make it do multiple
servers.

 

I too like the german server and it's generally reliable, but I read
some groups that it don't carry (A couple of ISP specific tech groups
and a couple of internal work related groups). So multiple servers
displayed in the same window is handy for my use.

 

I've done this, but I have a license. I think I actually might have some
genuine licenses no longer being used if this is the issue. Let me know
and I'll have a go at finding the random piece of paper they're on.

Mine is bought and paid for so I too have a license. it wouldn't be an
issue if I could find a copy of the TP5 installer but I can't so the
only avenue left is to copy from one machine to another. Any help would
be much appreciated.

 

I can burn the v5 installer onto cd for you if you like, unless you want
to set up an ftp server or sumfink. If you mail me your address I can
fire one off pretty quickly.

I've got a copy lurking somewhere <rummages> OK...

It's the full monty, including PGP etc. ~22MB.

Copy your existing installation to the new PC in the same directory
position, remembering that if copying via CD the files may get marked as
read-only which will have to be fixed. Install on top, hey presto.

Fucking *excellent* You Sir are a gentleman.

Via CD??

 

Top stuff, I only have v5.00, which doesn't have PGP.

Well that was easy.

 

You don't say whether the PC's are networked, or remote, or whether you
can move the old HD to the new PC as a second drive - sometimes folk
just copy to/from CD and try to use that. Before XP windoze marks all
files copied to CDR as read-only, which has caught many out, me
included, as TP needs nearly all files to be writeable.

Don't run the new installation first and then copy over the old stuff,
this is doomed to failure or at least many hair-tearing hours of
frustration.

 

I'll leave the file up for a week or two.
