Of course you can boil eggs in an automatic rice cooker. I've done that. My
suggestion is to steam the eggs instead of boiling them. When the measured
quantity of water is gone, the cooker turns off or goes into the keep warm
mode.

The real irony is that you want me to revert back to computing of the 90's
so that you can read my posts easier. I cannot do that because Windows
computing is like the dark age for me. It's all like a very bad dream and
now I have awoken.

OTOH, I am trying to set up an old Dell notebook to run propitiatory Windows
dino-ware. The hardware on this thing is pretty much overwhelmed by Windows.
With the original OS installed, I got 4.7 GB left on the 30 GB drive. This
means that I don't have enough room on the drive to do the security and
Windows update. Jeepers! I can't believe they sold computers like this. The
good news is that this computer might be teal in color. Very hip!
