Need Life Planner software

Hello!

An auction on eBay for the Life Planner was getting too rich for my blood. Is there an online store which has it in stock and ships to Canada?

WHAT???

You should have no trouble ordering Daria Sick Sad Life Planner online. These eBay auctions are for suckers.

Try Amazon.

DSSLP is banned from shipping outside of North America because of the crypto issue, but it should be available to Canadians.

And with a heapin' helpin' of luck, it will work on your box. I've tried four boxes and it GPFs on all of them, from my well-tweaked Pentium 200 to the PII-450 on my desktop at the office.

Anybody actually manage to get this thing running?

Yep. I have a PII 233Mhz, with a 16 bit color resolution, and it works fine. Mind you, when I initially started it, it went rather wonky. I'm not sure why, but it turned out okay after I rebooted the machine.

$##&amp;%$#!! The verdammte thing *works* at 16-bit. I normally run at 24-bit (this archaic monitor won't handle the resolution I want at 32-bit).

And here I'd worked myself into a fury of righteous indignation ("Who the hell do they think they are? Micro$oft?!"), and now it's - nearly - all for naught You'd think that as the "minimum requirements" set out on the CD jewel case include 16-bit color, 24-bit would be fine. Nooooo! That would make just *too* much sense. If running this thing means I have to kick my color depth down *every* time I fire it up and then switch it back, I guess I'll just be using it for the movies and sounds.

Would an error box with something like "Sorry, DSSLP requires 16-bit color to run." have been too much to ask, rather than just letting it GPF?

I wonder if the Church still sells indulgences? Might be good insurance. <G>

no, I think they decided Luther was right on that one :) of course we have nearly as archaic an idea commonly accepted now: you get better if you get LOTS of people to pray for you, proving to God you're popular enough to get better or something. Quinn should live a long life.

Luther got off easy. Jan Hus, a Bohemian who railed against indulgences amongst other things - many of which made their way (whether by influence or parallel development I can't say) into the Ninety-five Theses - was burned at the stake in 1415 and his ashes thrown into the Rhine.

Or send money. The late L. Ron Hubbard once said something to the effect that the best way to get rich was to start one's own religion - anyone want an office in the Temple of Devilkitty? Remember, that *kind*, *loving* (yet vengeful) God up there was going to take Oral Roberts away if the Faithful didn't send in enough money by a certain date. He got it and more. [As an aside, did you know that his mail room has *its own ZIP code*? Not "ZIP+4" , but its own 5-digit zip.]

Or she could take the OR route and spend the rest of her life at Cashman's. She's no dummy.

Monitors are not dependant on color depth since they are analog-based. Therefore having 16/24 bit color available at one mode but not 32-bit color is a video card limitation... I assume this is a 4MB RAM video card?

Ack. Fingers go faster than the brain at times. I'd been bitching about the crap monitor I have at the office earlier and, well, it just *flowed*. <G>
