Hey. New board.

Wow. I'm using Beta 3 and it feels very fast compared to previous builds. Can't wait for Beta 4 to blow my mind even more!

Vista Ultimate and Vista Business still come with the ability to downgrade to XP for free. True?

I'm contemplating getting my first cell phone.
Connie, I have a Razr from AT&T just sitting here. Since I got the iPhone, I don't need it. I think its locked to AT&T. If your hubby is AT&T, add you in a family plan. Just needs a new SIM chip. I have the "travel" charger and the car 12v charger plus a little belt carry case.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I have a Brother multi-function printer that cost about $100.00, and the quality of the scans and the printing is much better than my Canon, which was judged by someone who ought to know the best little printer of its year the year it came out, and a year later was found to have faulty print heads. Replacing the ink on the Brother cost almost $100.00, though. I always forget to check the cost of replacement ink when I'm shopping for a printer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I called ahead to the Michigan Ave. Apple store to make sure they had the 500GB Time Capsule in stock. They said they did, so I went downtown to find the 500GB ones out of stock. So I got a 1TB one instead. Just unpacked it - it has a nice chemical smell that I enjoy sniffing.

Will report back later. If you don't hear from me, assume I became addicted to the fumes....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If you don't hear from me, assume I became addicted to the fumes....

Which would help explain why the bait and switch worked.

Heh. (to both of you.)

Took me forever to get my MacBook to see the new network and get IP address with DHCP. Turns out you need to click on that final "Apply" button before any changes take effect. Duh.

eta: It's nice to see "Available: 929.3 GB of 929.5 GB" for my Time Machine.

Yup, the fumes have effected brain functions. Quick! Get him some oxygen!!!

ION, doncha just love it when you figure out the problem AFTER you e-mail tech support? ::head-desk:: I reinstalled VectorWorks after my lovely hard drive failure of a few weeks ago. They came out with a service pack update. But my s# wouldn't work. Ya, turns out I had installed v12 and not v2008. So the SP s# was like "nope, wrong version dude". D'oh!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My gmail account has suddenly been flooded with a ton of bounces, and what's bouncing is spam. Someone's clearly forged my e-mail address to send your typical "add inches to your johnson!" spam.

Should I be worried?
