Re: Any VueScan fans here? - 11 years ago

I first used VueScan on an old SCSI Umax scanner on a Power Mac 7200. I have been using it exclusively ever since on both Epson and Canon scanners. Simple yet powerful. Never had any problems. Almost weekly and free updates and can be used on up to four computers you own with any combination of operating systems. Free upgrades for life on the Pro License, one year on standard license.

Re: Spending a few days in Fort Lauderdale, FL. What to do? - 11 years ago

If you like the beach, you should have them all to yourself this time of year. I was in Lauderdale three years ago in early July, and there were only a handful of people on the beach or even outside for that matter during the mid day hours. Plan to get there early, around 8 am or so. Come 10 to 11 o'clock the heat becomes oppressive. A lot of Floridians loose their tan in the summer because it's

Re: Any luck getting "New Customer" promos from Comcast - 12 years ago

At least in my area, Comcast seems to be intent on keeping it's customers. I've had the special HD Triple Play rates for the past year. These rates just went up to the normal pricing. I called Comcast and asked about my options. The customer service rep I spoke to said; I see your special pricing has expired, I can just renew your special rate. Just pay the current bill and we will adjust it nex

Re: Superb customer service - 12 years ago

If an item from a third party seller is "Fulfilled by Amazon" as was stated in the original post, these items are shipped from an Amazon fulfillment center. Amazon also handles all customer service and product returns for these items. If the item is shipped by the third party, then all issues need to be handled through the seller. Amazon will only step in if there is no resolution of th

Re: Would you share your experiences with Coumadin (Warfarin) with me? - 12 years ago

CJ - I think what the nurse was saying in an over-reactive way was that when on Coumadin you need to be extra cautious. Your blood will not readily clot so deep cuts could be dangerous but as I said before minor nicks and cuts can be handled just by applying pressure. It will just take a bit longer to clot. My regular doctor's staff was much like your nurse. My Hematologist was much more realisti

Re: Would you share your experiences with Coumadin (Warfarin) with me? - 12 years ago

From a different point of view, I was on Coumadin for the better part of two years after a DVT in my leg. I never had any problems and was able to regulate my levels without much difficulty. My Hemotologist said that certain indicators in my blood suggested that I have a tendency for clots and for most people like me he would recommend they take Coumadin for the rest of their lives. However, give

Re: How much snow did you get? - 12 years ago

About 13 inches right now. I just finished shoveling and combined with last weekend's 2 feet I have a 6 foot high wall of snow on either side of my driveway. I am running out of real estate to put it all. After 2 hours of throwing heavy shovels of snow 6 feet into the air, I'm spent. Fortunately, we are still under a full state of emergency, so no work again tomorrow.

Re: O/T Child Daycare question - 12 years ago

It's been many years since my daughters have been in day care, but in my area, many child care facilities are open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. As long as you are within that time frame they are not concerned with how long you child stays.

Re: Seagate Warranty - Macs excluded? - 12 years ago

I had a Seagate drive fail last year. I called their Tech Support, described the symptoms, they agreed and issued me an RMA on the phone. They sent me the new drive and I returned the defective one after I received the replacement. They may have you try some tests, but the guy told me I had already done everything he would recommend and thanked me for doing such a thorough troubleshooting. I bel
