Re: OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD - 13 years ago

I think it's poetic that the Donald's show was broken into for the live event. Makes me think of how Mr. Trump was going birther for his own benifit while our Pres. was trying to do good work like the economy, the tornado victims, and Oh yea Bin Laden mission in Afgananistan. Trumps a F-ing opportunist and now I don't know or care who was fired! (who was?)

Need a 16/600 Laserwriter Fuser Assembly - 13 years ago

Hello All, I haven't posted in several years but find myself in the need of the forum once again. My trusty Laserwriter 16/600 ate a sheet of paper and really jammed up the fuser assembly. I hadn't used the printer much and moved it a few times and I think a good bit of toner got loose in the printer and made for a mess inside, I think the excess toner caused a page to jam due to a build up

Re: How is your sump pump working? - 16 years ago

Do you have a check valve on the discharge side? It keeps water in the discharge line from flowing back past the pump after the pump shuts off. Without one water can flow back each time pump stops and contribute to a short cycling problem.

eBay problem, help needed please - 16 years ago

Hello, I sell on eBay and an hour ago I went to list an item and ebay popped up a notice saying I was being blocked from selling because my detailed feedbacks were too low. They are not too low according to their own numbers so I tried and contact eBay and can find no links for email, live chat, or phone numbers. No system announcements were found, etc. Could someone who sells on eBay atte

Re: Installation a Heat lamp in the bathroom - 16 years ago

I installed a vent fan/light/heater combo, it had a toaster coil heater and not a heat lamp. The toaster coil heater need is close to 1000 watts and I needed #12 for it coming from the panel to the triple wall switch. A pair or #14's (one was 14/3) was needed for the light/fan/heater wiring from the switch to the unit to have control independently over all 3 functions. It's a bit noisy in th

Slow to print Lasewriter 16/600 - 16 years ago

Hello, My Laserwriter 16/600 which is hooked to my wireless router via ethernet cable seems to be taking 5 times as long to print as before. I send print jobs to it via my G4 Powerbook using the airport card. If I look at the printer status on the desktop it seems to send all the extra time " Preparing data " . What used to take 1 or 2 minutes to print can be like 5 to 10 minutes

Re: The Nuke sirens just went off! - 16 years ago

"Some of those 50's era sirens were just incredible from a loudspeaker standpoint. They tuned the exhaust from big V8 engines to make the siren sound, producing just insane SPL (sound pressure levels)." These didn't use the exhaust but fans, they were Chrysler Hemi Powered though. Pretty Cool!

Re: I know this is a Mac forum, but today I need a refrigerator...suggestions? - 16 years ago

My Fridge is a 7/8 year old GE counter depth bought at the local Habitat for Humanity Restore. It's a 2K$ (currently) fridge I paid $400.00 for. It's the feel good Cats Xss. It's got the wood panels in front, door service Ice/Water, (side by side) and I saved $1600.00. It also doesn't narrow my already narrow galley kitchen. A score!

Re: can you print shipping labels with PayPal? (for non eBay items) - 16 years ago

"yes I saw that too, at USPS the cheapest option online is Priority Mail, via PayPal you can do First Class." I find that interesting because the other day I went to ship to Sweden and I had only 2 options via PayPal, Intl. Priority, and Express ?. I went directly to the USPS sight and I could send it at least to cheaper ways (Intl. Parcel Post, and maybe flat rate envelope. Point is

Re: Gutter Guards - Do You Use Them? - 16 years ago

I think the "ask the builder" version was the big round "pipe cleaner" as he called it, not really any comparison. The diamond back SS/Pine Needle version must be pricey, though I gave up looking for a price online. Seems like a lot of the products are the dealer installed variety so the cost per foots likely going to be 3 or 4 times what I mentioned.

Re: Ford Contour engine now lacks power - 16 years ago

Does sound like a possible sensor issue, like a coolant temp sensor telling the computer it's always in a cold start situation. It's also more common on the ODB 1 cars to not always trigger the check engine light when some items fail.
