Hmm...Tried that, and I get "Forbidden you don't have access" I did go to the website and was able to see the pic of all those hippies on the home page.

Very tragic. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. And, almost 8 years to the day of the Columbine shootings. (04-20-99)

Better take a snow shovel just in case. On the plus side, those Kenyans might not be able to handle the colder temps. Maybe you'll win! Good Luck!

Hmm...As it happens, I too finished my taxes this afternoon, at about 4pm. Mine shot through without any hiccups. TurboTax seemed to be working fine. All that's left is to wait for the IRS to accept my return. Hope you have better luck tonight. Edit: BTW, what do Eskimos have to do with it?

Re: PC slot wireless solution for old 400Mhz Titanium PBook? - 15 years ago

I have the same Ti 'book and someone from the other place recommended the Motorola WN825G. I did an ebay search and found plenty there. About $20. IIRC and it works fantastic without any drivers. Plug and play. Edit: Try this link

Re: Yay! Paid off my mortgage today! - 15 years ago

Wow! Just got back and seen all of these nice (and funny) comments. Thanks! To address some of your concerns, I have very little debt right now. Absolutely no CC debt other than what I pay off at the end of the month. My house is NOT an investment. I plan on living here for quite some time. I am retiring from my day job this Sept. with a pretty decent pension and bennies. I should call this se

Yay! Paid off my mortgage today! - 15 years ago

Well, made it to the end. I got the paperwork today with a check for $590.00 and a hearty congrats from the mortgage company. A 15 year mortgage paid off in just over 7 years. I guess I'll now have some extra cash for my Mac addiction. Or maybe I should start looking for an upgrade? Isn't that real estate bubble about to burst and there will soon be all kinds of fantastic bargains? (I'm jus

Re: South Park, Satire, and the Hare Club for Men.... (kinda spoiler) - 15 years ago

Heh! That one was pretty good. I also wondered what Karl Rove was doing in the story. I've never heard of William Donahue. The Michael Jackson episode was hilarious. I was LMAO when he was dangling his kid from the balcony.

The couple, along with their son Whitesnake, were extremly disapointed with the ruling. I had a classmate in High School with the name of Joe Kerr. About the same time the Batman series was on tv. Did we tease him? You bet!

Re: HOLY RITZ, They Shipped! - 15 years ago

Quotejimbrady I'll just point out that a single 320GB external would have cost less and would be more portable. Nice stocking-stuffers though. One for me, one for my recent switcher bro, one for a friend, and one to grow on! Seriously, I was conteplating replacing a 10GB that I pulled from my Ti 400 several years ago that's been running in a portable external similar to the Firefly. As yo

Re: Do you think AAPL will split soon? - 15 years ago

I've heard most companies won't split the stock unless they feel it is heading substantially higher. If true, wouldn't that convince some investors to buy?

Re: Is yellow Elmer's much better than white Elmer's for gluing splintered door. - 15 years ago

Clamping is the key. I would recommend wood glue with clamps. Gorilla glue is ok, but to me it's more expensive, and, like Paul F. the last small bottle I bought had hardened solid the 2nd time I went to use it.

Re: 1st day for the A/C - 15 years ago

Hmm...Still some snow on the ground here in Northern MI. It's been in the 50's with rain last night, so not much of the white stuff left. Had a pretty good snow storm last monday with about 4" of fresh added to what was already there. With the wind, there were one foot drifts. A/C is not a huge priority around here this time of year. Maybe in another 40 years or so I might think other

Re: newbalanceshoelacessuck.com - 15 years ago

Hmm...I hadn't noticed any problems. In fact, I like them better than traditional flat laces. They don't seem to twist when relacing. Also never noticed them coming untied. I agree about the NB quality though. I haven't looked at another brand since trying a pair of NB several years ago.
