Re: You just might find this an interesting story . . . - Yesterday
Most of us have played that game where we whisper details of a story into someone's ear, who repeats it to the next person, on and on until the final version is very different from the first. I wonder if they faced similar problems of mistranslation of signals.by Drew - Tips and Deals
Re: Help! I'm overseas and I can't get home - 4 days ago
The first time I got one of these was from a client. It was uncanny, because he was actually in the city/country referred to in the mail at the time. I knew so, because I had just helped him with a medical presentation that he was traveling there to give. It was actually rather unsettling until I finally figured out what had happened.by Drew - Tips and Deals

Yeah, that's the president. Actually, he's reading the Japanese, though he reads it well. His accent makes it entertaining, plus the fact that he's doing a common comedy bit. Common ingredients on pizza in Japan are potatoes, corn, mayonnaise, squid, octopus, seaweed.by Drew - Tips and Deals

Quotemrlynn Is there some way to get Notification Center to display sent and received faxes? If not, why not? /Mr Lynn Welcome to the world of faxing on a modern Mac. A Google search doesn't find anything. Makes you wonder if anyone is really using the built-in fax software.by Drew - Tips and Deals
Re: US Robotics Fax Modem Works—In, but not Out - 15 days ago
As I recall, that's why I finally gave up and went to eFax. PageSender was so great for being able to see sent and received, custom cover pages, etc. The built-in fax software was only built for an occasional emergency fax, IMHO. Very poor and boo on Apple for providing such bad stuff with no alternative. Sure, fax isn't sexy, but for those of us tied to customers who use fax, it's still a tool.by Drew - Tips and Deals

Quotemrlynn QuoteDrew Off the top of my head, have you disabled PageSender? If might be blocking the port or something. No, I was hoping to keep using PageSender, as long as it works under Mountain Lion. And it is receiving. /Mr Lynn To isolate the problem, you might want to disable PageSender. I've been able to send faxes with the US Robotics modem using the built-in fax software. I remeby Drew - Tips and Deals

Re: If the 5 yr old Canon 50D climbs in price, now you know why - 20 days ago
QuotepRICE cUBE Well, technically the video mode from these cameras are recorded streams of live view. Camera makers threw it on there as an afterthought, a minor sales gimmick because they ran out of ides. They had no idea the 5D Mark 2 would ignite a DSLR video movement. Canon wanted journalists to be able to grab some video without putting down the still camera. I am excited to see whatby Drew - Tips and Deals

Re: OT: Walking shoes.... - 5 weeks ago
I'm also a former cyclist who recently got back on the bike. The first ride on a decent bike was exhilarating! Just spinning and feeling the wind in my face was so refreshing. Then, the next several weren't so great, my rear end hurt and legs gave out so quickly. Kind of discouraging, but kept riding a bit every day or two. The other day things suddenly changed.
