I second that remark (okay, not really, but I digress). Have you thought about installing a distribution of Linux on that old laptop, instead? Most Linux distributions use only a fraction of the computer resources used by Windows, and can generally breathe new life into old hardware. :wink:

I was speaking in generalities. Was the pharmacy (chemist) closed today? ;)

I drank one in his honor, too. Then I drank another, just because it's Wednesday. :D

CK, my son is going to be turning 17 this summer and I've just learned that they (public schools in the US) don't even teach things like diagramming sentences anymore. It's no wonder these kids haven't any concept of grammar, sentence structure, or punctuation. I've actually had to partially...

It's a fine radio. I picked one up about a year ago (thumbs up to CK for recommending it back then) and I love it. ;)

For me, it didn't get any better than Looney Tunes, Mr. Rogers, and The Electric Company (but, what did I know, I was a kid, LOL). **Jump_im**

Um, no. You turned your communicator off and the 23rd century had been trying, desperately for the last two years, to get a hold of you. Dammit, Jim... I'm a Doctor, not a temporal scientist. :p

These guys did their fair share of screwing up a generation as well:

Half of me supports Net Neutrality while the other half doesn't. I'm all for an open Internet where all data is treated equally. What I'm opposed too is the way FCC officials have proposed using Net Neutrality to squelch free speech in the form of a renewed "fairness doctrine"...

"Published April 06, 2010" << Four years later, and I'm still not seeing any of these. Disclaimer: I'm a right-winger... However, Glenn Beck and Alex Jones exist in a nutter, conspiracy-laden place that my political meter just can't go :whistle: And how is this "Amateur Radio Related?"
