Re: What are your favorite Firefox search engine plug-ins? - 18 years ago
Plug ins? Those look more like bookmarks to me. I try not to clutter my Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar with anything more than the bare essentials, which, for me, is my ISP login for mail, Google, Macresource, and a couple of other forums I visit frequently. Anything else is just a bookmark to be added to the list as far as I'm concerned.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: He is eating grass! - 18 years ago
Yeh, if it was nothing but bile, then his little tummy gets too empty. Feeding twice a day seems to be working OK for Louie most of the time, although if I think I won't get home until past his usual dinner time, I leave a few chunks of Science Diet dog food out for him to snack on. It's not his usual food, so he thinks it's a treat and will sometimes eat it.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: He is eating grass! - 18 years ago
My vet told me NOT to let Louie eat grass. She said she once had to do emergency surgery on a dog who had been eating grass, then threw up, and a blade of grass was propelled back up, and it lodged in his nasal passage. (Think choking on Coke and having it come out your nose.) Of course, the only way I've found to keep Louie from eating grass is the stern "No!" and making him come baby AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: drinking age in penna? - 18 years ago
What, exactly, does the LEGAL drinking age have to do with anything? I'd be much more concerned about the fact there are no female chaperones for this group that's a mix of boys and girls. My 15 year old daughter would not be going on that particular trip, I can tell you that. I was married to a PK for almost forty years; dad being a preacher is about as good a predictor of behavior as the legby AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Re: What's Going on With AAPL? - 18 years ago
I'm not big into the stock market, but I did inherit several hundred shares of stock in a major financial corporation. I've had it for years, and overall it's done extremely well. What intrigues me is the fact that whenever APPL is soaring, my stock is static or dipping downward. It's been moving upward again. Thanks APPL. Now if APPL falls far enough...by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Nope. I wait until one of you guys says there's something there I absolutely HAVE to have, and then I consider it. I'm not a fontaholic either.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: Calling women of MacForum! Advice Needed. - 18 years ago
I hope people ignore me, except for greetings from my son, who I will expect to be doing something special with/for his sweetheart without including me. I don't have any desire to be publicly reminded that I no longer have a Valentine's Day sweetheart by hanging out with a "happy couple." I might consider crying in my beer with some other female singles, but that's about it.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Re: Any Thunderbird Users? - 18 years ago
I use Thunderbird exclusively for e-mail, although obviously an older version. Sorry 'bout that, but thanks for ferreting out the secrets of the new version, because I might need that information some day. What do I like about it? Wow, I've been using it so long now that I guess it just "feels" right. Every time I decide I'm going to give Mail or Entourage a try, I wind up gettiby AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Re: eHarmony.com ?? Anyone tried it? - 18 years ago
A friend of mine often entertains me with tales of someone she works with who has been advertising herself on eHarmony for months. So far the only dates have been with "losers" (her perspective anyway.) I wonder if the success rate is higher for younger people? That woman is in her mid-50s.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Re: Acid Reflux Sux - 18 years ago
I'm the widow of a man who assumed that the absence of symptoms meant the absence of a problem. With pain as severe as you've described, I'd recommend having a gastroenterologist do an upper endoscopy to see if there is any damage that needs to be monitored. GERD is a breeding ground for gastroesophageal cancer.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: 35 mm Slides to digital format - 18 years ago
Wow, if I'd had only 250 to scan, I would have gone with one of the services, too. You can barely buy a decent scanner for $125, and there's no way to calculate all the time involved. Unfortunately, when I needed to scan upwards of 3,000, I had to bite the bullet, turn the project into a new "hobby", and try not think too much about all the other things I could be doing with my time.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Any comments I'm wanting to make belong on the "Ranting" portion, so I'll hold my tongue. At first I thought they'd been killed, but I found this link: Let's hope "seriously injured" doesn't deteriorate.by AlphaDog - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Re: 35 mm Slides to digital format - 18 years ago
For 250, I'd look around for a photo place that will do them for you. I had several thousand to scan, and it was worth my while to buy a dedicated slide/negative scanner. I guess it also depends on how "valuable" the pictures are. A flatbed with an adapter will do a passable job, but it won't give the same quality you'd get from a good dedicated scanner or good pro scans. Personby AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
Re: AppleCare for 17" PB - 18 years ago
I'm too chicken to buy on eBay. There's only one new one listed for the PB. Somebody else has an "open box", that they flatly refuse to refund on if there's a problem registering, and somebody is selling the code only. I'm the kind who would rather pay more and not have to worry about what I'm getting. Am I eligible for the Education price? I think I should be, because I worked fby AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
AppleCare for 17" PB - 18 years ago
My refurb 17" PB and I are coming up on our first anniversary together, so it's time to buy AppleCare. LA Computer has it for $259. Does anybody know of a better deal? I checked there, because that's the place I see mentioned most often. Amazon has it for $349, so that's not a good deal, but I don't know where else to check. Thanks!by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals

Is that your way of advertising you have in excess of $50,000 hanging around unused, Sam? GE's rates for lesser amounts are pretty close to on par with other online banks.by AlphaDog - Tips and Deals
