Find a broken overhead projector at your school, open it up and look just below the glass writing surface. One screw or even one snap will release a 12 x 12 fresnel lens. These work great for starting fires...as someone said above, extremely hazardous.

Pink Panther 2006 Soundtrack - 14 years ago

Dang...i tried to keep the song in my head...but there was some lost 70's/80's classic near the end of the movie...somewhere today the memory evaporated. Ideas? There is no official soundtrack release yet. Googled and searched for iMixes.

Re: Connecting Nokia phone to PC - 14 years ago

BitPim software does not support Nokia...and from reading around Nokia requires a proprietary software program that is not cheap. For that reason, I replaced a lost Nokia with a LG that plays very nice with BitPim. Added: After looking at the above link...okay, expensive in terms that it requires a mac user to use a PC and Windows.

Re: Anything like WMP for the Mac? - 14 years ago

If you keep all tracks identical and in order on the copy, track names will be located. If you chnage even one track or the order of the songs, the name will not be located or may be incorrect. The online databases that iTunes uses looks at the sequence of song lengths on a CD to determine the CD title and therefore the song titles. Any change to that sequence causes the problem.

Re: auto expenses, ouch! - 14 years ago

All i was saying is that I have NEVER had to do a tranny repair ever. So I replace the fluid to maintain warranty and that's it. I have not had a significant repair cost needed other than brake rotors on our truck (my fault) since we made the mistake of buying a 1991 Exploder (first year made, sold after 13 trips to the shop and 16 months on the road and needing about $7K in warranty repairs with

Re: auto expenses, ouch! - 14 years ago

It's hard to believe that people do so much preventative maintenance on their cars...buy the right cars and they last just fine. Change the oil on a reasonable schedule. Change the air filter when its looking dirty. Replace the brakes when they squeal. Replace tranny fluid only if required during warranty period, tires as needed for safety....other than that let her rip. We put on about 50

Vacation Rental Home Sites - 14 years ago

What is your favorite site for searching for vacation rental homes? We'll be travelling in 3 weeks to Park City, then Killington with a group of 4-5 families for ski competitions...all on short notice. The ideal site has good selection of varying levels of homes; immediate checking of availability. I like the variety offered at vrbo.com, but it's pretty tiresome to check each home for av
