Thanks... it worked. They heard the disappointment in his voice and Alex my little laugh it up was standing in front of me with his eyes FULL of tears.... He REALLY got it.... Sean my sensitive one didn't burst into tears but went to his room and came back calmly a few minutes later stating that he wanted to talk to his Babaw (my dad). They called him, apologized and they talked about it.

Perhaps I need to take away their fire department shirts (they have shirts just like the real firefighters with the station name/number on them) as part of their punishment..... Hmmmmmm.... (The LOVE those shirts...)

Between having to explain their actions to your dad and a couple days without their magic shirts...they might just get the message.

our current windows computer is a little over a year old...it's the longest lived one we've ever had. Usually the power supply or the fan or the hard drive goes out right after the warranty is up. I'm convinced the reason this one is still living is because we rarely use it.

our current mac's are 3.5yr 3 yr and 1 year old. They only time they've been in the shop was to put more memory in them (because we don't know how to do it ourselves)

So, really we just use what stays working for us

Ill back the macs up
gotta love em they just dont give up and are so much more hassle free than a pc

I can certainly hope that will be the case.....:o

Two days without the shirts ought to do the trick.

True and funny enough this photographer recently posted a short article on the danish canon site about motorsports photography with the title "Technique is not everything" meaning that just because a photo is 100% technical perfect it does not mean it is usable and on the other hand just because a photo is not perfect it does not mean it cannot be used.

Well this will teach me to send the photos as soon as I actually have them ready. I had that photo ready many days ago.

I'm finding that out myself. My paper has published several of my images I was embarassed to send them, but it was the only ones I had of the event.

Just this past Sunday, there was a photo in the rts section of the local paper that would have raised plenty of negative comments had it been posted here. It was of a jazz club and the photographer used a slow shutter speed so the entire photo was blurred due to camera movement. Yet it was at the top of the front page of the section and full width across the page.

A technically flawed photo that actually captures something important will certainly sell before a perfect photo that shows nothing....too bad the gearheads here don't understand that. A prime example just recently was the image of Big Brown's hoof at the Belmont Stakes...showing his sprung shoe. Not a great photo...but it answered a huge question.

Is that why he did so poorly in the race?

A big mac is nasty the first time by...can't envision a refurbished one being more appetizing.

in here we safely talk computer preferences with no acrimony But we're quite polarized on our opinions...the ones who like mac are correct of course

I took a 600 hour web design course at one of the local community colleges and worked on a Mac G4. It crashed as often as my old Gateway PC at home...

If it doesn't say AMD on the box...it just isn't a computer.

My current computer has an AMD 64 chip in it...

Good to see she's been taken care of on the thread. Now, I am open to suggestions as for a gift...at 16 it was the XT...

A car?

My parents didn't give me much credit for having a brain until I was 34. I remember the exact age because it was a monumentous moment in my life when they told me how proud theywere of me and my accomplishments.

When my ex and I separated, my dad said i could come and live with him, but I had to abide by his rules and not be out to all hours, etc., etc. I didn't think I wanted to do that at age 51, so I moved in with my slob buddy instead...

I have a Gateway laptop vintage 95 that is still working just fine. And it is the only computer I have left to read floppy disks.

You use floppy disks? I have a whole chit load I'll send you for nothing, storage boxes included...

There is lots of speculation that the sprung shoe could very well have been the reason he stopped responding...perhaps Zane can give more insight to the matter.

I don't use floppy disks...but know people that still do...so I have one computer left that can read them should the need arise. I even know someone still using a Sony Mavica or whatever it was that used a floppy as the photo disk.
