  2. that's 'cause in private he wore a Kilt (This is starting to sound like a Dr. Suess story.)
  3. "it's not like the rockies were sitting on a couch eating potato chips everyday" Hmmmmm..........now that I think of it, that's exactly what I've been doing during the playoffs. Better hit the gym soon.
  4. Happy Birthday! (Hey Sultan. That looks DELICIOUS!.........and the cake looks pretty good too)
  5. Yep. Your right. I did misread it. Time for the eye doctor.
  6. Wow, that sucks! I always had that type of thing in the back of my mind regarding online services. Sure, they are great,...... no hard drive to worry about, virtually unlimited archives etc. But what happens when THEY fail? I have all kinds of important email archives, contacts, receipts, records etc. on Gmail. Guess I'd better back them up! I hope you're able to recover yours Bubba Bob.
  7. Interesting story. I just looked at my trusty old Inspiron 8200 and don't see a button/ switch. There is an obvious hook and latch, but that doesn't seem to activate any switch. I wonder if it's in the hinge? shanenin, I'm curious. How are you able to just not charge for parts if they don't fix the problem? Do you keep them? In my electrical biz I didn't charge for unnecessary parts either, but unlike your industry I could just return them to Home Depot type places. I don't think that works for computer parts.
  8. Congratulations RedSox Nation. Great game.
  9. Tell me about it! My own brother is now a RedSox fan. He's quite a bit older than me. It's because of him that I'm a lifelong Yankee fan. He started taking me to Yankee stadium when I was seven years old. I grew up watching Mantle and Maris. I was there when Roger Maris hit # 61. .........Years later my brother jumped ship and joined the ememy. Now he acts like he grew up in South Boston. LOL The rivalry (both family and more globally, New York and Boston), make life interesting. Breaking news: A-Rod just opted out of his Yankees contract. Say it ain't so, Alex!
  10. You are welcome, Joe! Macbeth Lady (Macbeth)
  11. The Rockies had a second chance tonight, but didn't come through. I predict it will be over by Monday, more likely probably tomorrow. Then we'll have to listen to RedSox fans gloating for another year. How depressing.
  12. As noted above, sometimes it's the only way. If you have to, you have to. Should not be a problem.
  13. I've seen LaCie enclosures and racks at Fry's. They seem well built. You should be fine.
  14. Theater (note to Hitest.....LOL!!!!! Thanks for the laugh)
  15. Have you done a hard shut-down yet? Just holding in the power button?
  16. Have you tried to shut down from the task manager? (Control-Alt-Delete)
  17. Asolutely not. At least not this one. God, I got the Clorox out just thinking about it! Disgusting!
  18. I just listened to a report of this on NPR. Ellsbury seems to be getting a lot of notice as a rookie. He's also one of a very small few major leauge baseball players who are Native American. Another is Yankee reliever Joba Chamberlain. Think I'll pass on the free taco though. I like my stomach too much.
  19. As a real Yankee fan, I have to say anyone but Boston. But the Rockies have their work cut out for them, especially now being down two.
  20. Jeff: Thanks for that information - EXACTLY what I need! I musta spent 7 hours looking for a FREE converter so that I could convert flv (flash video files) to avi files - This ones in my favorites now Brian WOW! If this works like it says it will, I'll definately use it. Thanks for the link. Joe
