I felt guilty asking questions about XP, so I found a forum that might be useful to others. There were several listed in a Google search, but when I came to this one, I liked it better than others I checked.
I did as suggested and read the first post where they ask you to read it before posting. As here, they’d like pertient info the first time to help get a quick answer back to you. 🙂
Hmmm. But what would I do then? The only reason I know as much about Win XP (well all versions of Windows, actually) is from hearing all of you Win users discuss your problems on this forum! By now I’m almost better at troubleshooting Windows than I am Mac! 🙂
A Mac is the kind of computer used by some of those people who have provided great service to you here on the Elements forum. It’s another brand computer, kind of like a Mercedes Benz is a different kind of car from a Yugo. 🙂
Well, Chuck, that would depend on one’s point of view. The Yugo is most likely the one a person doesn’t feel comfortable with, because who in the world could imagine feeling uncomfortable in a Mercedes? 🙂 Gotta go get ready for evening TV now!
My apologies for my post #5. I was in one of my lighter and flippant mode, obviously lubricated by a good quantity of the "Two Buck Chuck", when I asked that silly question. :p For those unfamiliar with the term, Two Buck Chuck refers to the Charles Shaw brand of wines that go for #1.99 at Traders Joe stores. I read about them in a sunday magazine of the local paper. Real good chuck for the buck.
Mercedes cars are having a whole lot of electronic and mechanical problems these past few years. Some new models had such serious problems that Mercedes had to buy back cars less than one year old! e.g. the 2002 E-Series E500. If the trend is not reversed, they will soon be mentioned with the Jugo in the same breath. BTW, saw a Yugo last spring in a LA street up close. It really looked as bad as Jay Leno made it out to be.
Shan, as a representative of the Ancient Mystical Order of Chucks, I must protest your use of our venerable name in conjunction with the foul potion you describe…..
That potion is by no means foul. As a matter of fact a wine connoissuer, who is also a well known San Francisco venture capitalist, refer to the Two Buck Chuck as proof that "a decent bottle of mine doesn’t have to cost $2o".
I am not a wine person, but the two buck Merlot I bought went down real smooth with bearly a hint of overbeaing oak or tongue-coating tannin that bothers me a lot. Just a pleasant tasty drink on the dry side. Good with food or as a refreshment on its own. If you can get ahold of a bottle, you’ll see. News from the grapevine is that they buy this and last years’ surplus California grapes in the coastal areas in bulk to make these Charles Shaw wines. Some folks I saw at Trader Joe were carrying cases of it. That’s what piqued my interest to try a bottle. Think I’ll go back Monday to get myself a case too.
I remember going to Trader Joe’s when I’d visit my sister in Santa Monica. Two years after we left Michigan Trader Joe’s opened a store in the town where we lived. Wonder if I can get them to come to western North Carolina……..
Or how pathetic Sadam looks. Tough man not so tough after living the life of a rodent for a while. hmmm, if they dug a little deeper into the sewer they may find Bin Laden.
Is the $3.99 price from a Trader Joe store, or others? I overheard at the Trader store some gent saying to another to get the Merlot rather than the Cabinet Sauvinon, because the former is quite a lot better value. There weren’t any whites the day I was there.
Chuck,
I would recommend giving the two buck Merlot at a try if it’s available in TX. But I wouldn’t go more than $6-7 for it. The Merlot also makes a nice sipping wine while watching TV and munching on something. Its quiet presence does not shout for attention and yet satisfying. The only lacking may be that of a good "nose". But with my year-round allergy and medication, I can’t smell much of anything anyway. 🙂 Just talking about it makes me want to go and get a case, but it’s suppose to rain heavily again this evening.
The Trader Joe stores in the San Francoisco Bay area are doing pretty good business. They have a good selection of low fat cheeses, some single malts and different kinds of beers from all over. They may not have the best prices but their portions are way smaller than those in the big box stores.
The man really needs a shave an a hair cut. Imagine the stupid tyrant actually hid out in the sewer like a rat! Going by his deeds and his public posturing, I thought he would off himself rather than getting captured. Goes to show the kind of man he really is, a chicken sh*t coward.
Shan, I think he just got tired of living underground…after such a life of luxury. Now Bin Laden on the other hand is comfy living in caves Soooooo, they’ll probably wait t’il just before the next election to bring him out to see the light.
The scary thing is that if he’d have caught a flight for any large US city, he would have blended in with the armies of homeless that wander the streets. Who knows how long he could have escaped undetected.

If he also spits, talks to himself, occasionally swears angrily at passers-by or no one in particular, loafing around with his hand out and passes water at will in the street or whenever the mood moves him, he’ll be right at home in San Francisco. He will be well hidden in plain sight. Who knows, he may even run for public office on the homeless platform. He certainly has the look for it. 🙂
