That is as close to a unanimous vote as you will ever get here. I would go for it. I cut my teeth on that one myself. http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/Search.do?

Post your speed and how much you pay monthly

Strange how connections fix themselves, especially when it is our end. So you are from the Famous land of Transylvania, Romania. Home of the Famous Vlad Tepes. So Cool! -

What country are you from, anyway? -
I always believed that to be true. But without the news, as much as I hate to say it, has helped solve some murders.

My latest creation (home built server rack)
tommie gorman replied to Swimmer's topic in General Discussion
A very nice job swimmer. If the rags are for scraping purposes on the top of the rack, just file or sand the edges down. Maybe even round them a bit. Just a thought. -
EZstreet excellent speeds, and welcome to the forum.

Another little story. When I was about 21, my fiance and I were leaving town to visit her parents. When we got about 100 miles down the road, we realized that we could not find our baggy. Wonder to wonder we just went on down the road. When I got home, my mother took me aside and asked me how I could stand to smoke that stuff. I asked her what she meant. She said that she had smoked 3 of those left handed cigarettes and pretty soon she had to lay down. The next thing she knew she could not get off of the bed and was getting companionship urges. I asked her how many. And she repeated 3. I went on to let her know that it had been laced. And never to touch anything with out consulting me first, please. So yeah, we were cool with each other after I got a little bit older. And she informed me that she never wanted anything to do with that type of stuff again. By the way my mother was single at the time. Just me and her living there at the time. By the way, I am a very bad liar, People usually see right through me. -
new board addition !? - buy/sell/trade

The most curtious one I have seen was justinlay's post that his sat setup was avaliable on ebay with a link. Just an opinion. But link would be ok. Sales on wbay are non confrontational. You never know who you are buying from. And in a way that is good. You paid me too little. You sent me a bad ram. No I did not. It worked when I sent it. I would say that CA3LE has turned down links, in his time. Personally I did not want to bid on justinlay's equip., just because I was familiar with him, and preferred to stay that way. Friends should seldom deal with friends, if they want to stay that way. Although I would like to have. -
If your compressor has a pressure control valve, you should have no problem using a compressor. You could actually lower the pressure down to 5 psi which I just checked on mine. Totally safe to be used. And free to use. You can also probably pick up a nozzle tip for the price of a can of air.

Have you cleaned in safe mode?

The new TMNbay. Just kidding. Never know. Just comp stuff? -
Free. An air compressor in the garage. Shop vac first. Just don't get to close though. I also have a moisture filter on it.

Start*Control Panel*User Accounts. It is in there somewhere. I never tried it. it would be free that way.

By the way cholla, appreciate it again. The only reason I posted the fix was two reasons. One so I might be able to find it again, and second if it might help others. Never to downgrade your info. And again, I really am comp. illiterate. To most standards. Thanks again. Tommie Or as one friend would call me, simple user. Probably fixed, as I have been on here long enough to have had problems by now.

OK, i was at this gal's house one time. A friend brought me there. This gal was serving her totler beer(maybe 2 years old), I thought this very stupid. I was maybe 18. But like cholla, I was young and did not want to start any waves. I still think about that poor child. She said that he enjoyed it, and that he would not cry that way. 2 year old alcoholic. Dumb Bi*ch. -

If my mother had not told me the things my father had done I might not have turned out quite the same. My mother was a gentle woman till we crossed her. She married at 12 and started having children at 13, and had 5 of us by the age of 21. Times were hard, but she insisted we learn. She would work with us on our homework. I am not ashamed of myself or my upbringing at all, rather proud actually. And I remember as a teen ager telling my mother that she had done the same thing. Many times that was my way out. I believe you only tell what you have to. Not lie, but only reveal what you have to to get your story across. If I had to tell everything I have done, there is no telling what they would use against me. Maybe you do not remember saying this, but you did mom or dad. And never getting a straight answer. Just because, maybe cause I said so. Now if it came to having to explain why not to use drugs, or about becoming pregnant, I can easily explain about my friends, not me, and they can not say that I did. Never lying. Only if necessary. You have probably noticed some of my stories are pretty bad. Well like php said, I really don't want them to follow in my footsteps and have to figure them out the same hard way I had to. Believe me, I had a hard road, and I want their's to be a much better one. I don't expect perfect children, I just love them enough to not tell it all, except to maybe save them from my hard life. mudmanc4 one of my first rules, I try to stick with, not perfect though,is I never try to tell others what to do, I prefer to tell them what I would do. For instance, dlewis, I would rather sit down and show my children how to make their homework more fun, or at least help them with it. Not doing it, but showing them short cuts maybe. I would prefer this route, so that they are producing instead of doing something else. My step son tried to tell me that he was having trouble with Math, no problem as I got S's or B's if you refer in Math. He stated that this was new Math. Math is Math. After showing him that this was true, he was done and ready to listen. He was having trouble with decimals one time and said this was impossible, I asked him if he could count money, sure no problem. Quarter is one quarter of a dollar etc... In a week on his own he was helping his buddies with theirs. And some times his buddies would come over for some help. To this day he knows very little of my past, not that I would hide it, but he might have to ask. But like I said he is my step son, and has no need for it. My kids enjoy helping me, as I make it fun and a bonding time. I don't want them ever to think it is work to help me. (They might want paid. Kidding) Kids have enough bad peer pressure, without some of their dads bad beginnings. Everything should be as much fun as possible, and my life was no example of fun. Only in stories as I tell them. The only sad story I do not have as of yet, is a father that left. No children left behind. I hope that never happens, as that is the worst thing that can happen to any child. The mothers seldom tell the truth about the father, and definitely never explain it. My mother never told us much unless we asked. And then only what was necessary. I think you get the jist, if not post again. But never say that I am ashamed. Regretful is a lot different than ashamed. -
I think after all the modification, it looks pretty damned good. And that was not just to kiss either. Sneaks under the desk.
