    Election 2004

    ...But Rob, if ya'll don't have every other year political races, what, pray tell, do you have for arguement & entertainment??:) Rich, I picked one correctly, it gets more entertaining & difficult from here on out. The Cheney question is tough. GW wants to be tough, seen as loyal to "his"...

    Election 2004

    Rich, I love to watch the politicians. When they are scrambling to point out their differences, is when you can see, there really *isn't* much difference between the two major parties. I read an article this am, where J McCain had addressed an hispanic group, agreeing that the illegals should...

    Trump, that's a neat link, & it will direct you to their "new" laptop page, also. Lot's of info there on manufacturers. They had a Mil-spec Panasonic? with metal case & shock absorbing HD. Only $3500. (Whew) The used ones that I looked at there had decent prices, but I don't know if they will...

    Yeah, I'm definitely looking at the service aspect of the new ones. I've purchased all my desktops, in years past, at the Houston MicroCenter store, for that reason. If they sell it, they repair it. I bought the Toshiba at Office Depot, on sale for $200 less, but getting service is hard to do...

    Bush Can't Win...

    Not that I like GWB, but the joke reminds me of politics, today The Pope is on a visit to Washington, and President Bush takes his guest out for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on the Presidential yacht, the Sequoia. They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Holy Father's hat...

    Thanks, TWM for the info. I have not checked into repairing the Toshiba, but might. I only use it to check load boards when on the road, read forums, some book keeping (use a Lotus spreadsheet) that is transferred to desktop & paper when I get home. I can do without it, but it is nice to have...

    Thanks Lawrence..that''s what I'm looking for, experience with the brand. I'm just old fashioned, I'd have to "order" the Dell, but I like to look & feel before I put my money down, but will investigate. Rich, HP/Compaq is on my short list, as they are HQ'ed here, & I like to help the local...

    OK, OK...I'm talking laptop computers!!! (*NOT* dancers) ;) Seems my 3 yr old Toshiba has bit the dust. Hard drive crash, won't recover 'cause it can't read some file or other. So, I'm in the market for a new one. I was not satisfied with the Toshiba. It didn't seem "tough" enough. Had...

    Has everyone seen this?

    from OOIDA: http://www.ooida.com/call_to_action/022504_letter1.htm Letter about a bill before congress to allow states to turn Interstate Highways into toll roads. I have looked thru Thomas.gov, and couldn't find the offending proposed rule, but it was a quick search. Anybody else find...

    RE: None of the above? LOL, Tony..preach to 'em. :D As I tell all I encounter down here, no vote, no right to bi..bit..er, complain. Seems I remember a stat, only about 26% of Americans vote. Pathetic.

    Let's open up this can of worms, shall we?? If you had to vote in the Presidential election today,

    None of the above? :) Sure seems you missed a category, DD. Ohh, can drivers discuss politicians, and stay civil? Can anyone??:7 I will admit ti voting for GW last time, but with his actions with the Patriot act, & the illegal aliens, I will have a hard time doing so, again. (can you tell...

    Any Motorcycle Riders Here?

    DD, I only wish I could write that well. I do ride, but only a rice burner :) a V-max by Yamaha. I have not tried the HD's since 1969 (telling my age, here) Didn't want to when they were under AMF, and now, since the yuppie crowd has discovered them, just too many $. I was mailed the story by...

    Any Motorcycle Riders Here?

    The Squirrel Grenade I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second, and more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport. The reactions and...
