Re: February 16, 2000: Apple introduces “Pismo” G3 PowerBook - 8 days ago

QuoteS. Pupp Why is it that the Pismo seems to be so much more highly regarded than its predecessor, the Lombard? My Lombard has SCSI. If I want Firewire, I've got a card for that. I get many hours out of my battery (recently rebuilt). Go Lombard! Maybe it was the bus? I mean the Pismo was 100 mhz vs. the Lombard (66 I believe). All I know is I had a bunch of them (I was buying and selli

Re: Tell me about Sirius XM after $5/month deal is over - 21 days ago

I've had them forever-and I upgrade vehicles a lot, so I was getting the free intro. That started at a year, then six months, then three months, and I think it may be 30 days now. I do the dance every six months. Can't afford it, don't want it, etc. and when they offer the deal I relent. I recently bought a 2000 Super Duty for my business (I guess that's what Carnies do instead of buying a

Re: eBay best offer question - 7 weeks ago

I've got a pretty solid idea of what something is worth, and if I have a solid offer I'll usually contact the seller directly. It's an offer. The worst they can say is no. What I hate is formulating a "best offer" and they come back with something that is 3% or so lower than their asking price.

Re: New car batteries, $200!! - 7 weeks ago

HOLY COW! I hadn't bought a battery in years. I just bought a used diesel from a guy and part of what I insisted on was that he put new batteries in before I closed the deal (we'd already agreed on price-but I needed the truck as road ready as possible). The truck takes two, he's a mechanic and gets a better price than I would but GEEZ!!!

Re: What’s your price point for streaming first run movies? - 2 months ago

If I REALLY want to see it, I'll buy it for $20 and watch it when ever I want. Otherwise I'll rent it and watch it once and call it a day. My AT& T plan includes HBO Max, so I got to see WW84 for "free" last night. If I'd paid more than $8 to see in a theater I would have felt kind of cheated. Amazon has a lot of good movies included with Prime and I'm not going into a cr

QuoteGareth It's been on there a while. I started watching weeks ago, but only got through half of the first season before my interest waned. slow start would be an understatement. The ONLY reason I have HBO Max is because it is included with my AT&T Data package-I've still got a good case of red behind over DC Universe dropping all original content and no compensation for those of us who

What's the difference?

Re: Anyone on an AT&T Unlimited plan? - 4 months ago

Our old plan was grandfathered in. Since I just bought a new truck and it does not have Sirius, I decided to stream it off the phone and my question was how unlimited was my unlimited plan.

Years ago-(seriously, it was 1966) I'm in California, my uncle is reading a story about a robbery, and the robbery described one of the suspects as a negro man. He asked me (and I didn't realize the point for years) what difference it made, unless the man was not caught (he was in custody at the time) and they were trying to describe him for possible witnesses. It's ingrained-and it doesn't u
