  1. and don't i know it, i know i will find more things as i go along. the WMV add on for the quicktime player will help. also knowing about the itunes for playback of the mp3s will help also. still looking for a video player that will allow me to make up a playlist for the videos i have. i know i will find it. so far it is taking a little use to not having the shortcuts for closing a web window page adn also for going back to the last page. i can get use to using the mouse pad alot more, but i did like using the shortcuts for curtain things.
  2. well i took the jump. i got the mac book pro, with leapord. here is waht i am wondering about. on the road dogs' loading dock program on sirius radio, there is a so called tech guy, and he states that you do not need an anti virus program with mac. so i am wondering do i? if not, then that is ok. if so, then i am going to get one and also would like to know which one works best with mac. second, i have been usse to windows media player, and have been able to create a playlist with vids, and music, what will do that in mac? i know this sounds strange, since i do so well with windows, and did
  3. will with my experience with vista, if you have a printer that is at least a year old and the same for a scanner, you will have driver problems. there is also a problem with a feww programs. i found out that Musicmatch Jukebox will not work with Vista. you have to use the yahoo version, which is the owners of musicmatch now. one thing is you will not be able to clean out your temp internet files like you would have with XP. you can not enter that folder. even though you are shown as adminastrator, you are in reality a power user like in XP. vista will not let you be a full adminastrator like i
  4. first of all if you do not haev a wireless network at home, then do not worry about it at this time. go to what is equivalant to a control panel and select network connections, and set up the connection to your cable modem. now for the wifi, use the radio and when you are at a wifi hot spot, search for a hot spot, and connect. some wifi hotspots are not free, and that would be why it will ask for a password. if you are finding wifi hot spots near your home, the reason for asking for a password is the people that have them close to you have the wep activated.
  5. on that charger, open it up and look inside and look at the fuses. there are 2 of them. on my grandmothers wheelchair, and it is an Inacare also and they told my uncle that we would have to rep-lace it also, but took it to an electric motor place and they opened it up and replaced the 2 fuses and it is working fine now.
  6. chappy, a friend aiming at my try love. major horsepower. that 66 chevelle sonded so sweet. i did not own this one, but i worked on it. it was a 1986 corvette alcohol funny car. has a supercharged 526 keith black hemi with a 14-71 high helix super charger, and a don gerardo injection system. the engine produced about 2500 horsepower. the last year running it in 1990, ended up 3rd in division 3 and #33 in the nation in NHRA.
  7. well it might be a little rusty, then agter a new paint job in red paint, it will come alive, Christine lives!
  8. my first car that i drove, was my grandmothers VW Beatle. the ones with the air cooled horizontal 4 and a 4 speedtrans. the frirst car i owned was a '63 chevy biscayne, 4 door, with a inline 6, and a power glide trans. nothing stopped it from running. always started. i now have an '07 chevy Impala SS fully loaded, with the 5.3 305 hp engine.
  9. one of the problems with E85 is that older ve3hicles are not programed to compute the differance in the fuel management. never run E85 in vehicles that are not set up for the duel fuels. the '07s, well some of them have notations about using E85. there are only a few that have a program to reconize the E85, but the bad part is that the E85 is not as efficiant as the 90/10 or gas w/o ethenol. on the vehicles that can run E85 there was noticable feul milage drop, and power drop. and you ended up burning more fuel running E85. another unknown note is that running E85 produces more carbon dioxide
  10. Thank you all. right now i am at the pilot in haggerstown, md. have to deliver in inwood, wv. tomorrow morning. sitting here online using the sirricom wifi connection. wish i was home instead, but got to make the green stuff.
  11. well here is a special note. do not download and use the adaware 2007 beta version with vista. my roomie did, and we lost all of our files. this may be a temporary bug, but a costly one. if you do not have files saved on another hard drive, or on disk, you will not be able to get any of the lost files back. it will erase then from all users. only the folders will remain, but the contents of each folder in pictures, music , and documents will be lost. this is a heads up about this.
  12. well lets see, from start, a '63 chevy biscayne, 4-d, w/ 230 6 cyl. then a 70 pontiac lemans, 4-dr, with a 350 a 63 chevy 1/2 ton p/u with a 283 and a 3 on the tree a 74 chevy vega hatchback with a 4 spd. fun car 72 chevy g10 van with a 6 cyl, and a 3 on the tree 78 chevy g20 with a 4 bolt main 350 heavy suspension, and made in canada. had to have reg leaded fuel.(still have the engine) 80 chevy monte carlo w/ a turbo v6 86 chevy s10 94 gmc c1500 extended cab w/tow package 94 cadillac sedan deville. still have the last two. oh and my work truck, 2007 peterbilt 387 with a cat c-13 and a 13 spee
  13. well here is my thought on the matter. the reason the trucks are so popular today is that the cars today are getting smaller and smaller. and if you get in a wreck in one, kiss it goodbye. not fixable. trucks are alot safer, and will stand up to alot more than a car. i should know, cause i am on the roads alot, and i see alot of wrecks,, and the cars today do not survive. it is a throw away society today. i have a 94 gmc, only rep-laced the timing chain, and it has over 200,000 mioles and it is still going. in fact, it out runs alot of the newer vehicles. it is still stock, with the 5.7, th
  14. yes it can. also there should be an option in the add/remove options, under windows componants. but there should be a download frm MS
  15. with a surround system, the basss is filtered through the sub channnel. the satellite cannels are filtered differantly. it is in th cross over network.
  16. one thing that was forgotten is in the top diagram, the amp is added, while voltage is the same. on the botom one, the amps are the same and the voltage is added together.
  17. have you tried your local radio shack store? that is where i have gotten fuses for my D-9s. they take a slo blo fuse. the type with a red button you area thinking about are called circuit breakers. if you use one of those, yu would need to go to at least 2-1/2 amp in a circuit breaker. since they are fast blo. if you go with a fast blo, you must choose a higher value, to be equal to a slo blo. mainly because of the spiking of current going to the speakers, and that is why slo blo fuses were used, so that they do not blo too soon. but when yuo reach the max of the speaker, then it goes. but i
  18. thanks everyone. sorry i did not get on line sooner. had to drive on my B-Day to new york state. just got on line at a truck stop. again thank you all
  19. Capacitors don't stop engine noise - they soften the power drain coming from the battery. I got it hooked up - I just grounded it to the chasis where the amp is grounded . accually thqat is incorrect. a 3uf cap can filter the alternator noise as long as you couple it with a coil. they make filters that have the coil and cap for filtering out the alternator noise. now if you are getting ignition noise, from the plugs firing, that would mean the plug wires are leaking. capictors do many things in electronics. they filter, store energy, then can create a voltage drop, they can clean up ac out
  20. Good thing you did not get it "to go"..... or they would have given you a can of beans
  21. yes, that is what DDR266 is. some manufactures don't get very specific when it comes to memory. but that is what it is, PC2100 sodimm, 200 pin. and the max ram you can have is 1GB of ram. you can have 2 sticks of 512mb. it comes with 1 stick of 256mb from the factory. if you are goping to add ram, may i suggest, just replace the ram you have with new sticks of ram, from the same manufacture. mixing brands of ram can sometimes have problems, like random crashing and freezing up.
  22. i saw it on the other boards. i sure hope prodriver1 decides to at least try and pop in once in a while. i also sent a PM to him, i hope he at least gets a chance to read it. he will be missed.
  23. yep, i know there are still a few drive in theaters left. and amazingly enough, back home here, our old drive in has been reopened. it had been closed for over 20 years. the person that owned the property had been using it like a farm junk yard, and repair shop, but when he got married, and after his honeymoon, and seing other drive ins still working, he asked his new wife what she thought about reopening it, and she told him it was a great idea. so it reopened in the mid of last year, and the responce was great. guess i'll have to check it out this year.
  24. well i was born in 60. as for the child abuse thing, here is a simple thing to tell the judge, if they can do a better job then here's the kids and have at it. most judges will change their tune when you say that. just like with the new HOS rules for trucking. they were not created by truckers or fr the good of the truckers, but for the people that whine and look at false reports and statistics. certain people tellingothers what they can do and when to do it is getting out of hand. i remember when cable first came out, got 12 channels. i remember the old pagers that had only up to a 30 mile r
  25. my first laptop did that. had to send it back and get it replaced. the tech from HP and I determined that it was a mother baord problem. depending on how old the laptop is, that would be the first thing to look at. if the laptop is fairly new, adn under warranty, i would get it sent in to have it repaired.
