You are exactly right man! That's why I posted this because there's just a lot of em. I really like the IPOD but it is much more expensive than the rest. I may have to go in and play around with one before I can drop the kind of money they ask for them. Deciding between the big drives and the flash roms, I am thinking moving parts vs. no moving parts. I really like all that extra storage but USB 2.0 is a must! It would take all night to upload using USB 1 Rick

That may work with a few of the locals who don't use one of those auto-dialers but with the autodialer...there is no manual work involved... My favorite is when I pick up and there is a recording that says please hold for an important message. They call me, and then put me on hold to sell me something!!!

Here is the link to a Timex Internet Messenger Watch that is on sale for $50 and if you use coupon code FALLON02 = $32.50 shipped free first class US. I bought this watch about two months ago for $80 in a retail store and when I saw this on sale...I was p***ed! I bought my wife one though. Oh...it comes with a year of free paging from Skytel including an 800 #. It's cool! Get it fast...it sells out really fast. Rick

I am getting an MP3 player and I want some recommendations on what you guys have used and what you recommend or don't recommend. THere are the reviews out there but there's nothing like experience firsthand from you all. And what's so big about the IPOD as compared to other players that have the comparable 20Gig HD? Rick

Don't get it lynch? He was shat upon by a bird and that motivated him? Rick

Exactly Fthrjack! I had to check to make sure I was reading it right...I was thinking maybe you meant to put 2 gigabytes but even then I wouldn't buy it. If WWE uses it...then I guess it's good for me! Haha! Rick

I've never heard it but from what I have heard, it is the new Macarena. Oh geez...give me a break! Rick

Gamehead...you need to change sources for your jokes dude...I mean I get it and all but it isn't that funny. The Buddhist one...Hehe...pretty good one. Rick

Piaqt...if this works I will kiss your butt! I get about 10-15 calls per day from telemarketers. I have been very close to buying that telezapper but couldn't bring myself to spend $40 on it. Somebody try this out and tell me if it really works! Rick

Are you kidding me? That is killer man! haha! I bet they all smoked wacky weed! Rick
-
PPl seem to get different stuff...I have gotten my best speeds from Kazaa since I got diet Kazaa which helps to speed things up but I can never find anything useful on there...when it comes to other things besides music. Usually a bunch of fakes and movies are just hard to come by. Emule is like it's name suggests for me but it is faithful when used with Sharereactor. Rick

I've seen these but still funny and I like the way somebody has actually done their research to show that these are indeed real signs! LOL Rick
-
Funny Drew...so true! Rick

What's the consolation prize? Hehe...good try though man! Rick
-
Yeah...I agree with MSN...I would reinstall or repair because this is a peculiar problem and I cannot find an answer anywhere. Rick
-
Haha! You kill me! She's cute..I gotta admit that but if there is more of her that I'm not seeing that would help persuade me....then by all means! Rick
-
Yeah...I got red eyed all over man! But that's been a long time ago so I wouldn't know about that anymore! Rick
-
MSN...you said you like numbers so you must have just been loathing over every sentence! Haha! So you were quite the babe catcher in your day huh? Man...talking about a pig...you didn't even stay around to cuddle??? LOL Rick

Hey Rick...looks like you put a lot into this post..I'm gonna post again so it'll go back to the top of the new posts. You don't have to thank me

Around the globe, today, live approximately two billion children (persons under 18). Santa doesn't visit all of them, of course. Subtracting the number of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or Buddhist children reduces Santa's Christmas Eve workload to 15 percent of the total, or 378 million children (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, and presuming that there is at least one good child in each home, Santa must visit about 108 million homes. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. That means that at each household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, and get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh, and get on to the next house. For the purposes of our calculations, we will assume that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false). We're talking about a trip of 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. To cover that ground in 31 hours, Santa's sleigh moves at 650 miles per second--3,000 times the speed of sound. By comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh must carry over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. In air, even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can't be done with a mere eight or nine of them--Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). Six hundred thousand tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance--this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 miles per second in .001 seconds, would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 g's. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Ho...Ho...Ho...Merry Christmas! Rick

Hehe! That's a funny one...the ole man was quite the ladies man and I guess Mrs. Claus settled him down. Rick

You put in a stop point using the action button. Based on running Swish 2.0 you: 1) Click on a block that is at the end of your presentation up on the Scene bar (i.e. Scene 1). 2) Go to the left side of the scene bar and you see what looks like a little green man running and if you have that menu expanded is says, "Add Action" Click that! 3) Click on Stop Voila! You should be able to look over in the box on the right bottom side and the action tab is visible with something like "At frame 45" will be displayed. Now save it and your presentation will stop. Let me know if this is confusing and I will try to be more descriptive. Rick

Thanks...more than I care to read right now but then I can't even touch a tft for my desktop right now because I'm too broke! Rick
