Re: Zune-Welcome to the Social—disease. Advance purchase flop - 15 years ago

Msf had a big conference at hq and demoed the Zune. It couldn't connect to another Zune on the stage. They eventually blamed it on to much rf interference in the auditorum.

Re: Fax machine recommendations? - 15 years ago

We just went through the hunt to replace a 10 year old Panasonic. Started out with a Ricoh Fax machine but networking it was going to cost an extra $300 ended up with a Ricoh 1515 multifunction. Works well with network faxing from pc and scanning to email. It seems like all the fax machines are really cheap or over $1000.

Don't know about palm tree sap but Laquer thinner gets fir tree sap off really well. Don't rub just let a rag soak the pitch for a minute. It doesn' hurt the paint finish.

Re: Rolling Stones ticket prices!!!!!! - 16 years ago

Madonna requires that the venue have a new toilet seat installed every evening so there won't be any germs. I wouldn't go to her concert anyway but I am not paying for tiolet seat either.

Re: Red Lobster..don't do it - 16 years ago

Went to a Dead Lobster once. I wasn't bad but at the same time it wasn't very good. There are lots of places in our area that will give you a much better seafood dinner for about the same price. Dead Lobster is another part of the conspiricy to homoginize America.

Re: Rachel Corrie - 16 years ago

Her problem was she was brainwashed by going to Evergreen State College. I know several people that went there and came out so screwed up they couldn't make a clear decision if the thier life depended it. As was her case.

Re: Rain-X Wiper Blades BOGO @ amazon.com - 16 years ago

If you want blades that really last and work fantastic buy Piaa silicone. Mine last about two years between replacement. regular blades used to start smearing in about 4 months. Expensive but worth it.

Re: AppleCare Hell; Follow-Up, Part G.1 - "What's on your CUSA machine?" - 16 years ago

Buzz, I talked to my Minister and Parole officer and they think you are out of control. As you said in the first chapter of your epic saga "I scored an open box MDD". What did you think you were buying? An open box could be a demo, a return for what ever reason or a discontinued product. It is very common for stores to require that you buy an extended warranty for an open box comput

Re: AppleCare Hell; Follow-Up, Part G – “The Participants Enter the Ring” - 16 years ago

I just don't see your plight. Yes Compusa is worse than worthless but for you to be made whole should only require refunding you money. As far as Pm's data that you found you have no standing. You can not demand damages for his injury. You in your own frenzy you seem to trying to extort product from Apple and Compusa.

Re: dropped powerbook - 16 years ago

Thanks for your answers. I took to a local independant mac shop. They said the reason they cannot repair it is that it will viod the warranty if they repair it. It is is only 6 months old and has Apple care. It twill boot from the DVD and booys in target mode but the hd doesn't show up on the other computer.
