I have two dells and both have so many bugs etc.. I am really looking at Mac...
I don't use the computer for much more than Internet stuff and basic word processing for papers and school.. Anyone have an Idea on what I should buy? I might play a few games but not a hard core gamer so most of the high dollar stuff is out...
I am looking hard at the IMac.. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac?mco=MTE3MDM
Any idea which one is best for the money... Any ideas or other options much appreciated..
Thanks Da....
When I was a kid in suburban London I used to spend hours staring through the front window of the toy shop on Penge High Street, which featured a dazzling diarama of pre-Subuteo table soccer games, HO gauge model trains and houses, Airfix models and packets of toy soldiers, and of course Britains' 'Swoppet' knights. I can still get this same feeling when I visit the German Faller site: http://www.faller.de/start.php?lang=gb&naviUp=0&naviDown=0 or thumb through any of its catalogs that are sold as collectors' items on eBay. The feeling of magic in miniature, the sensation of world-building.
Since it's Friday, and something on the lighter side seems in order…
A while back our own vinteuil was kind enough to lend a queer eye to the handful of straight guys unfortunate enough to have their photos posted here at the Forvm. Why should those guys be the only ones to benefit from such expertise? What about the rest of us?
Well, maybe here is your chance. Just post an image or a link to one, and perhaps v. will grace you with some sage wisdom. To get things going I'll post a link to a recent shot of myself:
Out of sheer boredom, I've opened #theforvm on efnet. No bots yet, but I suppose I could install one if needed. You can visit by selecting 'random efnet server' when you open mIrc or any other IRC client. If you are new to IRC, you'll have to type a 'nick'--I suggest some variant of your Forvm username.
Hope to see you there.
UPDATE: The Sign of the Four
1Corinthians 10:1-14 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them : (now the rock was the Christ;) yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert. But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.
is what my wife wrote when she sent along this link: http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/1077958,novak072808.article
My first thought was 'lawyer's advice.' However, since this story is most likely true, I must reverse my previous stand on his punishment for attempted vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident--which this diagnosis might very well explain--and join the rest of the world in wishing Bob Novak a full and speedy recovery. I've lost two dear friends to brain tumors, and it's not something I'd wish on anyone.

The accents are Napoletano. Aspetti! Fatti cazzi tuoi, eh!
I've closed the poll and tallied the results, and our new mods are tomsyl, Jordan and M Scott Eiland. I think we all owe our gratitude to catchy, who IMO did a great job as a mod. Tomsyl and Jordan, well, some people are just gluttons for punishment. Scott has already served as moderator, so I believe for the first time we have all veteran mods. I know a major election is coming up, but let's try to make this term somewhat reasonable for these guys.
I promise I'll try to remember to hold the next elections at the end of December.
Nope, not a joke. Half the George Washington University campus is closed off, roped off with yellow and red police tape. News trucks in the traffic circle. Police everywhere. In an earlier incident, after a 4 hour standoff, a man jumped from the roof of the GW Hospital, according to an eyewitness I spoke to. But why the other cordoned off areas across campus? Why the police everywhere with bomb-sniffing dogs? He said that bombs had been suspected everywhere. Why?
Hey, I'll be around occasionally to check up on my bets, but the reality:truthiness ratio has just gotten way too low for it to be interesting to participate. Might be back after the election. Gonna tend my (neglected) garden.
