    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    I picture Star undressing at the front door and coming in naked tonight.... Keep a camera handy Abby. :D

    I don't have any pet peeves. Life is too short and budget is too slim for care & feeding of the nasty little critters. I shoot or poison them when I find them. I prefer a pet Labrador retriever. ;)

    And BTW Sasquatch, Hillary Clinton is from Park Ridge Illinois, a very nice Chicago suburb. Her hubby is from Arkansas.

    Geez!, thanks for that concept, Gary! ...One bag of spew is being freighted Air Express to Tennessee. :rolleyes: :p

    @ Abby:- Well at my age, I may as well be good at something - even if it is "Pervert User Group" (P.U.G.). :p

    Another pet peeve. Critically important business websites that are written only to support Internet Explorer properly.

    http://www.tarmls.com

    I can't convert my wife to MacOS X until I find a resolution. So far, Camino, Firefox, Shiira, Omniweb, Opera, or Safari work correctly with the javascript used. Only IE does, which MS recently canned any futher development of it for OS X.

    I apologize if I was not clear, I was not implying that you spelled the word incorrectly. I was merely trying obtain a chuckle through the amazing difference in spelling between two words that mean completely different things, yet sound exactly the same. My apologies.:)

    you can also add the other alternative of QUE to the list.




    OH another pet peeve/s

    1. Why is it someone always puts a near ( mls left ... not enough to make a cup of tea no taste like poop ) empty milk bottle back in the fridge.. could they not use or throw it away, may be they think last person that uses the milk buys the new bottle/carton!!

    2. Speellwing, especially in techincal terms or corporate names/products, yes I know we all and I am a BAD one for doing it, mis-spell some words, but their is NO excuse to spell the following and habitually spell them that way....

    A. Athlon is not spelt Athalon ( extra A only wastes bandwidth )
    B. Trojan is not spelt Trojen
    C. Fluronert, seen this weird ass spelling of the product Fluorinert on a few overclocking sites that expect you to take them serious, when they cannot even spell the product they are using. :rolleyes:

    just don't get me started on l33t speak and txt type posts on forums or in emails....


    Disclaimer: Any incorrect lexicography or grammar is entirely the fault of your eyes ;)

    Websites that try to play on peoples naiviety. I was searching for whether I needed a BIOS update and the site supplied within EVEREST leads you through the steps to properly ID your BIOS and then want to charge you $30 for some crappy phamplet, floppy on how to install your upgrade and more waffle than needed to supply all off IRAQ with breakfast.

    http://www.esupport.com/biosagent/index.cfm?refererid=40

    This site stinks of scamming and five minutes further searching and I had more info than they were willing to give (before they attempt to suck your money out of you).

    TBH Bold Eagle that is the only downside to Everest, you can generally using the Everest info on mobo name find from the actual manufacturer if and what is the latest/last Bios for a mobo 99.9% of the time.
