You young "whipper-snappers" always makin fun of us older folk....why I outta... Some day...just you wait...you'll be drinking prune juice and soaking your teeth in a jar beside your bed soon enough! Then you'll "Rue the Day" you voted for that "Drivers License reexamination after 70" law you voted in when you were 30, I tell ya.. Inconsiderate kids these days. Why...when I was your age I used to.......(insert incoherant ramblings here)

First car?? Hmm...kids nowadays eh...brand spankin new cars right after getting your license.. Most of us older folk never got a brand new car until after we were married or sumthin! My first car was a 1965 Ford Comet, 289...went like a bat outta HE^^ actually. Was my mom's car and me an my brother bought it off her for $50. She then got a 1966 Pontiac Stratochief with a 327 that was just a ROCKET!!! For a stock 327 that thing was ballsy (and I could start it with a butter knife ) I've had over 100 cars in my time, used to race and build race engines for a time too, so I've had allot of muscl

Yes...CONGRATULATIONS GRADS!! Now the "Real Life" kicks in, and very soon you'll be saying to yourself..."Gawd...I wish I were back in school"... I don't know of a single Adult who hasn't said this at some point..."We never realized how easy we had it when we were in High School", and of course all the High School kids are just DYING to get outta there...heheh...just wait....your day will come when you'll mutter that phrase.. I have to congratulate all our members who will be graduating, and all our members family who will graduate as well. It's a tremendous achievement and I know there'll be

Just imagine coming home to this... Downstairs... Upstairs... OMG...would any of them live to see tomorrow???

Your IE Security Fraud Monitor has recognized the link then, so it's a known fraud already. Good to know that it works!! I guess that's a pretty good feature in IE now and could possibly "Save" allot of those Dupes, if they use IE.

Or why they made them look like a "Folder" in the first place!! even tho they're hidden by default...they could've used a more non confusing icon. Glad to have helped dharma, I know that MANY new Vista users have been frustrated by this one..me included, in fact I was outright PO'D! WELCOME TO BESTTECHIE DHARMA! I hope you Enjoy our friendly little community, and our absolutely Brilliant Members whenever you need help!

I've found BCDEdit to be a bit...uhmmm..flaky so to speak. This new and rather convoluted method we have to go thru for dual booting is causing some folks to just say forget it, and I think that's a bad thing. I guess so do the many folks who've had issues with this method and ended up having to rebuild the MBR at best, and reinstall everything at worst. There is also an MBR problem with that method that a simple OS reformat & reinstall CANNOT FIX, make sure to read up on everything StealthG. I found it easier to just unhook my HDD with Vista and install XP onto HDD #3 so the bootcode gets

Yah...isn't that cool?? I sure think so, I've been using this for awhile now and I LOVE IT!! I'm always selecting multiple items, and was constantly losing the focus on them with a missed click....No More!! You can still misclick and lose them with this method but it's allot harder to do that now with the checkbox, it's much more forgiving.

I laughed my butt off when I first saw that last week...sadly tho..it's all too true also. Oh well, Parody is parody and makes a serious statement while being funny at the same time, and this was Great Parody!! Thx freakout!

Is Seether still going with Amy Lee these days? Haven't heard as much about Evanescance after that last album...not like they were after their first anyway. Seemed like they were everywhere after that 1st release but now you rarely hear about them at all. They were both here for an outdoor weekend concert here 3 years ago this summer, good show. I also thought Nirvana's Unplugged work really showed Kurt's true talent

I've heard Samsung make a Great Monitor! A friend of mine who works at a store called PC Place here, was telling me about Samsung last month and he said it would probably be he monitor he'd choose, so I don't think you can go wrong there Mark. I also have an Acer too Matt, the 2017 and I Love it so far!

Oh...and to our solitary voter who's in the "I need more Help to Decide" category.... ASK AWAY!! That's why I put that in there, so if we had members who needed help or have questions they need answered before they buy/switch/whatever, we can help them! You can ask in here, or if you like, in the PC Support section. We'll keep an eye out for your questions and answer as best we can.

I LOVE the insight this post is giving us!! How else could we have possibly known just what everyone was thinking about Vista, this poll has certainly been an eye opener...I wunder if I should send a copy of this to the MS Engineers... JDoors..you'll ALWAYS be a big help to the members here no matter What OS you're running! Don't you worry about that my friend

Hi Carnevil Yah...you were.. But you weren't alone either, so this was directed at everyone involoved in this thread. It was the "School Girl" image and another of a rather "more undressed than dressed" woman that were over the top for a Family Forum. As long as everyone remembers that we have Minor's & Female members both young and older, who certainly would not appreciate their home site becoming a "Pinup Girl" site, everything will be Ok. BTW, there have been some Awesome desktop images posted so far too! I also love to have complex graphics and amazing deep space images on my desktop,

Well, no shanenin, it was more than simply girls in swimsuits and these were definately too much for our forums. Depending on the swimsuit also, we simply don't want Women in semi-nude, suggestive, or scantily clad pictures on the site, and all staff should know this from reading the Mod Manual posted in the Staff Forums and Staff Room. As seen on many other sites, this always leads to a "One Up" type of thing where others always try and further push the limits once this gets started. To maintain our "Family Friendly Forum" reputation which we've worked very hard to uphold, we simply can't all

Hiya Bearskin! Just saw a post on you being MIA and we were all hoping it was simply PC issues and not anything more serious..good to see it's the first one...well, probably not good for You right now eh.. Hmm, this really could be so many different things with just this to go on, I think you'll have to do some more troubleshooting to kind of eliminate some and shorten the list for us. Try RAM test with MemTest but don't put TOO MUCH stock in that, I had a bad stick that it kept telling me was good, but replacing the stick solved all the issues immediately. At least it may tell you that you ha

Ok, folks...I need EVERYONE who's posting into this thread to read up. I've just spent the last half hour cleaning out inappropriate images from this thread, and some others that came very close to being deleted, and I'm asking that you all refrain from posting semi nude or sexually suggestive pictures on Besttechie Forums. We are a "Family Friendly Site" and as such, we cannot allow images like those to permeate the boards! They would not be acceptable in Open Chat, they're not acceptable in this thread either please. So PLEASE, let's keep those kinds of images off the site. Once they start t

Keep the Poll going Folks!! I'm going to keep it open for some time yet so other members who don't visit as often can still take part in it, so let's keep voting if you haven't already! No doubt there JSKY, 32bit is fast becoming the Dinosaur system. I really doubt Vienna will be ready in 2 years but I also don't think it'll be another 5 years before we see the next release either. I hope that some of the really innovative and exciting changes that were originally slated for Vista (Longhorn), but were dropped due to time and stability issues, finds their way into Vienna still. There were some

New Features in Task manager G'Day! Today's tip is something that many a Power User, as well as anyone else too, will find very handy at times. Many times we wished there were an easier way to find out what Services were calling and opening certain processes, or in reverse, just what processes were associated to what Service? Well now Task Manager offers us an easy way to see this information! Simply open Task Manager by using the well known CTRL+ALT+DEL keyboard shortcut, or right click an open section of the taskbar and select Task Manager. Right click on the process you want to find the ass

JDoors Hey old friend...if I didn't know any better, I'd almost say that you're kinda treating my reply like it's from some rookie n00b or sumthin. For the record, I had no intention of getting into Vista right away either, I was kinda forced into it by a BIOS that couldn't recognize ANY bootable device, and short of unsoldering the CMOS chip and getting an EPROM burner, I was S.O.L. Computers don't work well if it can't see something to boot...do they. Well, if I'm going to use something, I want to know EVERYTHING I CAN about it and what it can or can't do. And of course there's going to be

Didn't you mean "iexposure"...

WoW!!!! I'm really pleased with the respone we're getting here, it's very revealing and very interesting!!! Exactly what I was hoping we would see with this Poll, just what our members are thinking of concerning Vista and why you feel that way...either way. I had a BIOS Flash that turned my last computer into a doorstop, it failed and would not recognize any bootable device no matter what I tried, so if you can't boot any device, your computer doesn't do much good does it. I had to get an OEM machine because I didn't have the time or $$$ to build like I wanted to, so I got Vista preinstalled o

Yes, regular Flux will cause damage to the board, don't use it! Being an x-plumbing & heating contractor I know flux paste well, and there are many different types and mixes. I also agree that you should stay away from flux core solders, they're less than worthless IMO. I'd go to one of your local Electronics Repair shops and talk with a tech there to see what they use, I don't know off hand what brand name to use for sensitive electronics circuits, but they're made and available.
