Quotecbelt3 ... so I don't have the Mark Of Vaccination like the rest of my generation. Minor point: The mark you refer to is probably the dime-sized scar from a smallpox vaccination. The original (Salk) vaccine was a series of three injections.

Re: doored - 6 years ago

Hope you heal OK. Years ago I got doored in downtown Boston on a motorcycle while passing a cab. I was in a turn lane. The door wacked my knee into the gas tank (leaving a 2-3 inch dent) then the cycle tipped over, momentarily pinning my ankle to the curb. Cabbie was found at fault for "discharging a passenger while in traffic". Basically the law stated that it is illegal for a cabbie

Quotespace-time Quoteneophyte I bet it would have been fixed already if it truly was an "East Coast" problem, but its really just a "New England" problem. If it works in New York, then its acceptable. NJ is part of New England? No, it's one of the Middle Atlantic States, but it clearly is outside the Zip Code numbering pattern (for example, lower numbers than its northern

Re: Kerry Lies to The American People - 6 years ago

Quotecbelt3 Wow, that IS an old talking point. Thoroughly debunked. Except by faithful followers of Brother John Birch, who will happily talk about how useless the UN forces are, and then express fear that Blue helmeted jackbooted thugs will take over the neighborhood PIggly Wiggly. Too late. All my local Piggly Wigglys, except one, have already been taken over by Bi-Lo. And the lone hold out

Quotesteve... The study found that Seahawks fans are much more clumsy than Broncos fans, with 26% of Bronocs backers having reported a cell phone accident in the past 12 months compared to just 16% of Broncos fans. I cannot think of a reason why this would be true. Well, perhaps the reason is that Bronco fans are more careful than Bronco backers... Or the backers are more physically active

Re: Questions on porting a phone number. - 7 years ago

Home Phone Connect from Verizon Wireless. I think it costs $20 a month (plus taxes, fees) for unlimited calls within the US. You hook up your own house phone to it. It has a battery pack and a wall wart, so you can take it and the phone with you. It receives VZW service over the air like a cell phone, wherever VZW has 3G coverage. No roaming charges. I think other carriers have it too. Go with wh

I forgot about Cricket Graph. Invaluable, and so easy to use. My daughter uses that too. My only Mac purchased new was a Motorola Starmax, bought in Feb 1997. My daughter uses it daily for word processing (Clarisworks, not even Appleworks though she has it), web browsing, playing CDs while she works, Reunion for genealogy. It's maxed out at 160 MB RAM.

Snap-To: it would automatically move the mouse cursor to the default radio button in dialog boxes.

Re: Merchant Services Suggestions? - 7 years ago

Thanks for your responses. I've looked at Square. It does not have a computer interface, only tablet and smartphone apps, and its keyed-in charge (3.5%) is higher than offers I've gotten for (no contract) interchange plus service, even including per swipe and monthly fees.
