Learning the Hard Way -- 7:07 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I thought I was ever so clever getting the Mandrake 9.1 CDs early and installing them today. Yikes. I'm finding many problems brought on by the switch to glibc 2.3. A word to the wise: make sure your favorite apps work with it before you upgrade. Thankfully Red Hat, Slackware, and Debian users are all in the same boat, so this should be fixed relatively quickly.

The Master comments: Ahh, the joys of being on the cutting edge. I could tell some horror stories about the cutting edge from my work experience, but I'm not sure I want to relive those 5 months again.

Quicken 98 Follow-Up -- 12:07 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

After perusing Google Groups a little further, I came across this article that gave information on how to get online registering to work with Quicken 98. Mind you, I was never able to register online from the moment I got it. In case that link breaks in the future, here's the details:

  1. Backup c:\windows\QUICKEN.INI
  2. Open QUICKEN.INI in Notepad and delete everything in the section [Internet]
  3. Replace that section with this:
    [Internet]
    Stay_Connected=TRUE
    StockPriceURL=http://www.intuit.co.uk/investments/sharestart.htm
    BaseUrl=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/
    DataDownloadCgi=http://onlpatchuk.quicken.com/bin/onlc/datadld3x.cgi
    StockQuoteCgi=http://onlpatch1.quicken.com/bin/onlb/stockqt2.cgi
    CurrencyRateDownload=http://www.intuit.de/currency/data_de.txt
    PatchDownloadCgi=http://onlpatchuk.quicken.com/bin/onlc/datadld3x.cgi
    UpdateDirCgi=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/updatedir.cgi
    CreditCheckCgi=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/credchk2.cgi
    AdServerCgi=http://onlad.quicken.com/adsv/adServer.asp
    Disconnect_Type=0
    Timeout=5
    UpdateOnStartup=FALSE
    RegisterCgi=http://registerqt.intuit.com/icreg/icswreg.asp
    ExCurr=0

After I did that, everything worked fine.
