cornerj4: That's my litespeed
sjpsu: i was just going to ask
8:00 PM
supermacg9: I ****ING HATE LIFE
supermacg9 has left this chat.
cornerj4: tiger is full of drama
sjpsu: wow. sweet. where have you taken it?
cornerj4: I've only ridden it around Boston. Usually out to Concord
sjpsu: Is it comfortable for longer rides?
cornerj4: surprisingly so
cornerj4: it's stiff for titanium, but that's because it is 6/4 titanium
sjpsu: wow. looks unforgiving.
cornerj4: if you're used to riding in a TT position, it's fairly comfortable
spartiansoldier: wow xidius i can finally see your buddy icon
sjpsu: lol. My dad's Trek.. damn can;t think of the name but it's carbon and alum frame... is more suited for touring
sjpsu: I prefer mountain biking in the Poconos here in Northeast PA. Cannondale F-500
cornerj4: I don't mine the litespeed for long rides... it's just a pain riding it in traffic... so it takes a quick 10 - 12 mile rid eto get out onto more open roads where I can fall into an aero position
cornerj4: er, mine = mind
8:05 PM
cornerj4: I need to order a new wheelset for my GT, then I'll ride it more often
cornerj4: it's 3/4 titanium, so it's a much smoother ride
sjpsu: what's wrong with the current set?
cornerj4: The bike was crashed into a guard rail at about 30mph
cornerj4: rear wheel shattered
cornerj4: <a href="http://www.beomaster.com/Images/crashed.jpg"; target="_blank">http://www.beomaster.com/Images/crashed.jpg</a>;
sjpsu: you're lucky you didn't damage the frame
cornerj4: yeah, well, the rear wheel slammed into a post
cornerj4: that's why it shattered
sjpsu: how did you survive the ordeal
cornerj4: so the rear wheel absorbed the impact and spared the frame
cornerj4: I slid for a good 20 feet on the asphalt before impact
sjpsu: clipped in?
cornerj4: heh, I survived it by knowing how to properly crash a bike There was a guy who witnessed it that said I crashed rather gracefully, for what it was worth
cornerj4: yeah, I ride Look pedals
cornerj4: There was this hairpin turn
cornerj4: and it was on a downhill
cornerj4: and it snuck up on me
cornerj4: so I started the turn at about 30mph according to my cycling computer
cornerj4: and realized I couldn't make it
cornerj4: so I laid the bike down on top of me
cornerj4: and slid it into the guard rail
cornerj4: cut up the entire left side of my leg pretty bad
sjpsu: how bad
cornerj4: Well, I shave, so it wasn't too too bad
cornerj4: went to the ER, they spent about an hour cleaning it out
cornerj4: gave me a Vicodin prescription
sjpsu: shit
sjpsu: painkiller?
cornerj4: the nerves are still growing back, and this happened almost 8 weeks ago
cornerj4: it could have been worse, wasn't my worst crash
sjpsu: oh i assumed it happened longer ago
cornerj4: I'm just happy the bike is OK
8:10 PM
sjpsu: what was your worst crash?
cornerj4: got hit head on by a car
cornerj4: and the driver drove off
cornerj4: was never caught
randysimpson@mac.com: hate that
cornerj4: from my shins up to a few inches above my knees
cornerj4: lost most of the skin
randysimpson@mac.com: street pizza
cornerj4: took three months for it to grow back all the way
cornerj4: and the doctors thought they might have to graft
sjpsu: Any muscle damage?
cornerj4: nope
cornerj4: I tore a muscle in my shoulder
cornerj4: and broke a couple of fingers
cornerj4: had to get a wheelchair for the first week after, then I was on crutches, then a cane for the remainder of the time
cornerj4: it really sucked
sjpsu: That sucks how he was never caught... didn't they have paint samples to go along witha vehicle description
cornerj4: someone got the license plate
cornerj4: but the car the tag was registered to didn't match the description
cornerj4: and it was a woman that hit me, I remember seeing her as I flew over her windshield
sjpsu: I am just absorbing this right now
randysimpson@mac.com: I got hit by a woman on a motorcycle when ridin my bike once
cornerj4: usually motorcyclists are watching our for cyclists... how'd that happen?
randysimpson@mac.com: long time ago...but she hit mee good
cornerj4: sjpsu: That crash was a good five years ago
randysimpson@mac.com: I was 10 ...so 28 years ago
8:15 PM
cornerj4: damn
sjpsu: My worst crashes only involved broken arms. Hairline fracture in the right arm the first time and in the left the second time
cornerj4: I had a jeep cherokee hit me on my left side while I was going through an intersection... back in 1998
cornerj4: the grill from the jeep actually tore out a chunk of my shin
cornerj4: and left an impression of itself in the wound
supermacg9 has joined this chat.
cornerj4: I still have the scar
randysimpson@mac.com: i ahd some close calls since then but have been lucky so far
cornerj4: I tend to get hit about once every two to three years... on average
cornerj4: sjpsu: I'm surprised you haven't broken a collarbone
cornerj4: those are fun
sjpsu: I was being stupid in my new C'dale with clipless pedals and couldn';t bail out of a technical section of the trail.. you kknow exposed roots and rocks.. and just fell down awkardly on my arm
cornerj4: you weren't going fast enough then
sjpsu: that was a ****ing long walk to the ****ing road *still angry*
randysimpson@mac.com: i raced sport class MTB for a few years in the 90's
sjpsu: yeah i didn't know I was 15
cornerj4: I used to race Expery Downhill/TT/XC
cornerj4: er, expert
cornerj4: NORBA Southeast region
randysimpson@mac.com: wow..must be good
cornerj4: I *was*
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: I couldn't do that anymore
sjpsu: what class
supermacg9 has left this chat.
cornerj4: I went mountain biking two weekends ago
cornerj4: I was actually scared on parts of the trail
cornerj4: I also hadn't ridden my mountain bike in about four years up until then
cornerj4: I raced off-road from about 1994 - 1998
sjpsu: Hell yeah.. descending trails on a mountain bike is a lot different... some of my friends have BALLS let me tell you
cornerj4: in '96-97 i was ranked #1 in Downhill in my class and region
sjpsu: what class was that
cornerj4: Expert
8:20 PM
cornerj4: but really, in the southeast.... downhill courses are a joke compared to, oh, California or the Northeast
sjpsu: really? do you get mountain bike magazine or bicycling
cornerj4: used to get Mountain Bike back then
cornerj4: I got a road bike in 1997 for training
cornerj4: and gradually stopped riding off-road
sjpsu: Zap's a real character.
cornerj4: left for college, ran otu of time for racing, just never got back into it
sjpsu: ha.. i find it funny you have a warning sticker on your rear triangle..
cornerj4: The trails around Boston kind of suck. They're all rocky
sjpsu: technical shit?
cornerj4: I was going down descents two weekends ago and seriously didn't think the bike would stay upright. I mean, there was so muc gravel on the trail that your tires had no traction
sjpsu: I'm neither talented nor strong enough to cleanly ride thouse
sjpsu: those
cornerj4: I haven't been used to have the shit kicked out of me while on a bike
cornerj4: I was sore the next two days
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: it hurt!
cornerj4: it made me really want a full suspension dealie
cornerj4: I used to be pretty ballsy, but I think I've gotten soft riding on road

cornerj4: eh
sjpsu: i've always been a cdale/trek fan
cornerj4: I was always a GT person, but since they went out of business, I'm not sure what to do
sjpsu: lol didn
sjpsu: 't someone buy them?
sjpsu: like huffy
cornerj4: someone bought them, but GT still folded and are no more
cornerj4: I like Serotta for steel frames
cornerj4: Litespeed for Titanium. I mean, hands down, they're the best.
sjpsu: lol yes
sjpsu: Carbon fiber.. OCLV all the way
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: I think if I were to buy another mountain bike, it would either be a Litespeed or some full suspension design
cornerj4: I'd be hard pressed to NOT buy a Titanium bike next time 'roudn
cornerj4: hopefully, I won't have to buy a new bike for a while
sjpsu: I don't have that kind of budget...
sjpsu: i mean i'm stretching with this PowerBook
cornerj4: It all depends on where you put your money. I could take a picture of my fridge currently...
cornerj4: it's filled with condiments
cornerj4: and a pint of guiness
sjpsu: Oh that's discipline man
8:35 PM
cornerj4: the litespeed set me back, I somehow have to find money for rent next month
cornerj4: dunno how that is going to work out
cornerj4: it'll be 3 weeks before I get paid again

sjpsu: no man
llovato@mac.com: how about it spart?
llovato@mac.com: astroman?
llovato@mac.com: i need some help
astromanluca: I tried using Rendezvous iChat in my home's LAN, but I couldn't see my brother even though he was online
llovato@mac.com: exactly!
spartiansoldier: im not on a lan
llovato@mac.com: i set up the network fine
sjpsu: I was on your mom's lan.. it's smooth let me tell ya
llovato@mac.com: but iChat and Rendezvous doesnt work
astromanluca: Rendezvous seems like a whole lot of vaporware so far
randysimpson@mac.com has joined this chat.
randysimpson@mac.com: hey peeps
sjpsu: yeah hardware must be designed for it right?
llovato@mac.com: que te pasa man
astromanluca: I mean, yeah, you set up your network, but there's none of the iTunes streaming server thing, and no Rendezvous iChat yet
astromanluca: I don't know if there are Rendezvous printers yet
llovato@mac.com: well ITunes & Rendezvous not supposed to be reaedy till 1/03
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: they demonstrated it though
randysimpson@mac.com: i have redezvous chat and printer
llovato@mac.com: but Ichat should be rendezvousable
astromanluca: hasn't worked for me
randysimpson@mac.com: it works here
randysimpson@mac.com: 1st time
9:50 PM
llovato@mac.com: it was an advanced version of iTunes
llovato@mac.com: randy is your network over airport
astromanluca: a version which I want, right now
randysimpson@mac.com: itunes isnt ready yet
astromanluca: I think I'll look for it
astromanluca: they showed it, no problem
randysimpson@mac.com: wired
randysimpson@mac.com: 3comps
llovato@mac.com: it may be an airport problem
astromanluca: no, wireless with the TiBook, remember?
astromanluca: Phil Schiller had the TiBook in his hand, streaming the music to Steve's computer
astromanluca: Then he closed it, sleeping the TiBook, and it stopped
randysimpson@mac.com: SJ said it was coming in january
astromanluca: cool
astromanluca: Can't wait
llovato@mac.com: but that was & upcoming version, not this one
randysimpson@mac.com: he said it at the end of the demo
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: I got iSync
llovato@mac.com: but why doesnt my ichat work with Rendezvous?
astromanluca:
randysimpson@mac.com: me too
llovato@mac.com: iSync is becuase iCal sucks so hard
randysimpson@mac.com: wish i could afford that sony phone
sjpsu: iCal sucks ass
randysimpson@mac.com: mine works everytime
llovato@mac.com: isync is useless without good iCal
randysimpson@mac.com: ical is nice
astromanluca: it seems fairly complete... but the brushed metal doesn't work right (you can't drag anywhere, it has to be at the top of the window) and the menu bar for iSync doesn't work correctly either
llovato@mac.com: sj, couldnt have said it better myself
llovato@mac.com: iCal is slow as hell
astromanluca: iCal + iSync + PDA or phone or iPod = Good
astromanluca: anything else = bad
astromanluca: oh, I forgot, add "G4" in there too
sjpsu: Palm Desktop kicks iCal's half-ass
randysimpson@mac.com: first version of iphoyo and itunes was slow also
llovato@mac.com: sj, it seems you have alot of pent up feelings..
astromanluca: iPhoto is still slow... but then again, everything is slow on a 233 MHz G3
sjpsu: I do
sjpsu: I really wanted to use iCal
randysimpson@mac.com: tis acceptable on 867QS
llovato@mac.com: tell me again how bad iCal is?
astromanluca: wait, Microsoft Word 5.1 is not slow on a 233 MHz G3
sjpsu: transparent calendars.. ohh man... but we can;t use them with like 7 colors
sjpsu: it sucks ass, man
llovato@mac.com: HA!!!
llovato@mac.com: LMAO!
astromanluca: MS Word 5.1 is fast on a fricking SE/30!
sjpsu: lol
9:55 PM
astromanluca: Yeah, that's right, I think Word 5.1 is probably the best word processing program ever written
astromanluca: OS 9 is fast on a 233 MHz G3
randysimpson@mac.com: word 5 was nice
astromanluca: Word 6 was bad
sjpsu: your mom is fast on my lap...
astromanluca: ?
sjpsu: i never used 6
llovato@mac.com: im sure iCal is useable on the new dualie g4s, but on my iBook 500 it SUCKS BIG TIME ASS
sjpsu: i went from 5.1 to office 98?
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: Word 6 was extreme bloatware
sjpsu: or 97? whatever the mac version year was
randysimpson@mac.com: i was just reading a thread on AI about itunes hoggin cpu

randysimpson@mac.com: and I feel dirty cuz of it
astromanluca: I don't buy any MS software

llovato@mac.com: saw that one
astromanluca: yep
astromanluca: I think it was from the one with Dave Matthews and Bjork
sjpsu: lol
astromanluca: I love those celebrity jeopardy movies

llovato@mac.com: hello, can I speak to Marge?
randysimpson@mac.com: yup
randysimpson@mac.com: or homer
astromanluca: Of course, your way is more like "I'd like to **** Alicia Keys"

astromanluca: It's where my grandmother grew up
astromanluca: and they mention a Shelbyville as a neighboring town in the Simpsons
astromanluca: so it may be referring to that
llovato@mac.com: what a shame, beating a kid mercislessly in this day & age in this great country of ours

jgerard48: at dad's house
jgerard48: lol
llovato@mac.com: sup
randysimpson@mac.com: hey johny
jgerard48: hey spart, randy, luca, etc.
jgerard48: how in the heck do you join a chat with AIM and not iChat?
jgerard48: I can't figure it out?
jgerard48: omg
10:40 PM
jgerard48: ...?
llovato@mac.com: couldnt join with iChat or what?
jgerard48: no, at Dad's, on a PC (ugh), and can't figure out how to join
jgerard48: had to invite myself (lol) and get declined to enter...
astromanluca: yeah, it's dumb... the only way to get into a buddy chat in AIM is to invite someone as well
jgerard48: omg
llovato@mac.com: so your AIMin on a PC?
jgerard48: dumb alright
jgerard48: yeah
jgerard48: I feel dirty
astromanluca: so I always invite myself, or I invite "lkjttjwe" or some nonsense name
jgerard48: wow
astromanluca: but now I use iChat so I don't have that problem
jgerard48: that's messed up
jgerard48: me2
llovato@mac.com: i cant Chat with one of my PC buddies using AIM for some reason
westonm@mac.com has joined this chat.
llovato@mac.com: sup wes
astromanluca: I don't think they support mac.com profiles
llovato@mac.com: there supposed to
jgerard48: can you add chats to "favorites" or something?
astromanluca: you have to have a regular AIM profile
astromanluca: no, unfortunately, AFAIK
jgerard48: oh
jgerard48: ok thx, be back later from home, thank goodness
jgerard48: cya'll
spartiansoldier: later
jgerard48 has left this chat.
westonm@mac.com: I like OS X
10:45 PM
astromanluca: I would like it more if I didn't have such a freaking slow computer
astromanluca: I really should save my heart some stress and just use OS 9
spartiansoldier: lol
westonm@mac.com: I went from a 333 iMac to a new duel gig
spartiansoldier: im doing fine with a 233.
westonm@mac.com: its nice
astromanluca: OS X is infuriatingly slow in a 233 PowerBook
westonm@mac.com: i can imagine
spartiansoldier: yea i can feel your pain there...even slower than my imac
westonm@mac.com: hee
astromanluca: yep
spartiansoldier: slowest supported mac to run mac os x actually
astromanluca: not quite
astromanluca: there is a cacheless version of mine
astromanluca: so, it's the second slowest
spartiansoldier: hehe
spartiansoldier: yay im not second slowest i guess
llovato@mac.com: 10.2.1 is cool on my dual USB iBook 500, all except slowCal
westonm@mac.com: iCal is even slow for me
llovato@mac.com: iCal is ****ed up
astromanluca: I saw an info sheet for the Wallstreet PowerBooks (first generation, 233/250/292)
llovato@mac.com: i mean iCal does not meet up to my expectations
westonm@mac.com: the germ of the idea is there though
astromanluca: There were MacBench benchmarks
westonm@mac.com: it can only get better
astromanluca: the cacheless 233 was only about 50% faster than a 3400
astromanluca: about half the speed of a 250
spartiansoldier: lol
astromanluca: because the 250 had 1 MB of L2 cache
spartiansoldier: thats kind of sad...
astromanluca: yes
spartiansoldier: yea my imac has 512k
astromanluca: same problem that afflicted the 1400/117
spartiansoldier: and the 250 wasnt a g3 either
astromanluca: yeah it was
spartiansoldier: 3400?
astromanluca: no, the 3400 was 240 MHz
astromanluca: There were two 250 MHz G3 PowerBooks - The Kanga aka 3500, and the G3 Series 250
spartiansoldier: oh wait i read all that wrong lol
fellowship@mac.com has joined this chat.
fellowship@mac.com: G'Day!
10:50 PM
astromanluca: the G3 series 250 was faster because it has twice the L2 cache (1 MB vs. 512k) and a faster bus (83 MHz vs. 66 MHz)
spartiansoldier: more like G'Night! here at least
fellowship@mac.com: indeed
fellowship@mac.com: hehehehehe
astromanluca: but the Kanga still stomped all over the cacheless 233
westonm@mac.com: <first time using ichat> Is there a way to set it so you can see the persons name next to the bubble instead of just an icon?
astromanluca: go to the view menu
westonm@mac.com: then?
astromanluca: choose "show names and pictures"
spartiansoldier: show names
westonm@mac.com: ahh
westonm@mac.com: thx
astromanluca: Apple should make that the default
astromanluca: because it's dumb otherwise
spartiansoldier: unless you are specifically geared for using ichat
spartiansoldier: i dont have a pic of myself so i created this helpful little graphic
spartiansoldier: brb, going to take a shower
fellowship@mac.com: ok
astromanluca: it's always good to scrape the crud off our bodies once in a while
llovato@mac.com: biggest problem with iChat is no buddy groups, my list is getting big
astromanluca: once a month, whether you need it or not!
astromanluca: Yeah, I want subcategories
astromanluca: I keep going between adding everyone here to my buddy list and not doing that
randysimpson@mac.com: gtg...later guys
westonm@mac.com: out of curiosity, do any of you know each other, or does any old person who visits the AI boards just come here?
fellowship@mac.com: take care
randysimpson@mac.com: bye
astromanluca: bye
randysimpson@mac.com has left this chat.
10:55 PM
astromanluca: well, my brother doesn't come here often, and he's not a member of AI, but he's sometimes here
astromanluca: named Emilio
astromanluca: I am on AI and here and LEMchat
westonm@mac.com: so i'm guessing that at least you and your brother know each other
westonm@mac.com: <first time using iChat> Is there a way to take away the bubbles and make the text into a more "standard" view?
llovato@mac.com: you can change the fonts, but bubbles stay
westonm@mac.com: well shoot
llovato@mac.com: bubbles are cool
westonm@mac.com: kinda
westonm@mac.com: but I like options
astromanluca: too bad you can't take away the scrolling thing
westonm@mac.com: ?
westonm@mac.com: scrolling thing?
astromanluca: yeah
astromanluca: when you post, it scrolls down
westonm@mac.com: o
astromanluca: to reveal the new message, instead of instantly going there
astromanluca: that really hogs my CPU, which is again a 233 MHz G3
westonm@mac.com: can't say that i mind it
bklynbums has joined this chat.
11:00 PM
astromanluca: I like it too, but it makes my CPU go to full usage
astromanluca: yeah, it's taking half the CPU just sitting here
westonm@mac.com: test
westonm@mac.com: test
astromanluca: with OmniWeb, iChat, and Mail open, 1/2 of the CPU is being used
westonm@mac.com: doesn't do much to my cpus
astromanluca: that's how slow this thing is
astromanluca: CPUs, plural... envy!
bklynbums has left this chat.
astromanluca: anyway, I'll be there soon too... my dual 500 is due here in about a week
westonm@mac.com: sweet
astromanluca: yep
westonm@mac.com: is iChat supposed to do something when I double click on someones name?
westonm@mac.com: in the left drawer that is
westonm@mac.com: All I get is "so and so is offline"
astromanluca: Radeon, 640 ram, 40 gb hd, SCSI card
astromanluca: i'm excited
westonm@mac.com: thx
astromanluca: it'll be my second really major jump in speed
westonm@mac.com: what was the first?
astromanluca: 8100/100 to PowerBook G3/233
westonm@mac.com: ahh
westonm@mac.com: pretty large hops there
astromanluca: Before that, I went SE/30 to IIcx to Quadra 610 to 7100 to 8100
astromanluca: the IIcx to Quadra was pretty big, as was the Quadra to the 7100
westonm@mac.com: i had an SE 30...
westonm@mac.com: fun little machine
astromanluca: but I wasn't pushing the limits of my processor back then
astromanluca: I just played EV
11:05 PM
astromanluca: EV was fast even on a 16 MHz 68030
westonm@mac.com: I first had EV on a performa 52 15 CD
astromanluca: ooh, crusty!
westonm@mac.com: sÃ*
astromanluca: ever visit low end mac?
westonm@mac.com: can't say that i have
westonm@mac.com: what is it?
astromanluca: website dedicated to older macs
astromanluca: in their "Road Apple" section, the 5200/5300/6200/6300 got the worst rating
westonm@mac.com: nice
westonm@mac.com: or solid
westonm@mac.com: whatever
astromanluca: Road Apples are ones that were not necessarily bad, but poorly executed and not great
westonm@mac.com: where does the performa rank?
astromanluca: Ranging from one star (like the Cube, which was nice but just didn't work out)
westonm@mac.com: still could though
astromanluca: To four star (avoid at all costs, like the 5200/6200
astromanluca: The IIvx is up there, though, getting a three star
westonm@mac.com: ahh the dark years
westonm@mac.com: can't say I miss them
astromanluca: anyway, there are quite a few... IIvx, Classic, 5200/6200, PowerBook 5300, PowerBook 150, to name a few
11:10 PM
astromanluca: They also have a "Best Buys" section
westonm@mac.com: whats in there?
westonm@mac.com: I assume the best models...
astromanluca: Best buys include the SE/30, IIci, LC III, IIfx, Centris 650, PowerMac 7200, PowerMac 7500, Beige G3, PowerBook 540c, and PowerBook 1400
astromanluca: For various reasons
westonm@mac.com: I used to use a beige g3
astromanluca: 7200 isn't very upgradable, but it's very cheap
westonm@mac.com: that thing screamed
astromanluca: Beige G3s are still viable today and can be had for under $300
astromanluca: sometimes under $200
westonm@mac.com: I still like my two processores
westonm@mac.com: another question: How do you send a private message?
westonm@mac.com: because when I double click anyone i just get that "they are offline"
astromanluca: Road Apples... Portable, IIfx, Classic, IIsi, LC, Classic II, LC II, Color Classic, IIvx, Mac TV, Quadra 800/PM8100 case, Centris (the name), PB150, PB5300, 5200/5300/6200, PM7200/8200, PB1400/117, PM4400, PBG3/233 cacheless, Cube
astromanluca: quite a list
westonm@mac.com: no kidding
11:15 PM
astromanluca: also the AppleVision 1710 monitor, PowerBook Express Modem, GeoPort "Modem", Adjustable Keyboard, USB Keyboard, and puck mouse
astromanluca: <a href="http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/index.shtml"; target="_blank">http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/index.shtml</a>;
westonm@mac.com: i never minded the puck mouse except for its one button
westonm@mac.com: how did you include the hyperlink?
astromanluca: I can stand the version with the groove in the button
astromanluca: just copy and paste it in
westonm@mac.com: makes sense
astromanluca: I can't use the regular puck mouse without the groove effectively
westonm@mac.com: it was tough
astromanluca: but it is a very durable, precise mouse, especially for a ball mouse
westonm@mac.com: yes it is
astromanluca: my mom got a MacAlly shell for it
westonm@mac.com: did that improve it that much?
fellowship@mac.com has left this chat.
westonm@mac.com: i had thought about for a while but decided against it
westonm@mac.com: the shell that is
astromanluca: the shell just lets you determine the orientation better
astromanluca: it's like night and day
westonm@mac.com: I just wish Apple would offer a two button mouse
astromanluca: huge improvement. And it's so nice for a ball mouse that I think it's worth it
westonm@mac.com: have a standard one button, but at least an option for a two button
astromanluca: Personally, I use a MacAlly one button ADB mouse, the same one I've been using since I got the 7100 about six years ago
westonm@mac.com: wow
astromanluca: It works as well as the day I got it

astromanluca: I will always buy MacAlly mice from now on, they are the most durable mice on the planet
westonm@mac.com: I just find the second button very handy
astromanluca: They do make a two button ADB mouse
astromanluca: but I don't want to give this one up
westonm@mac.com: lol
11:20 PM
astromanluca: I'll have to get a two button scroller from them because I'm so used to the shape
astromanluca: the iOptiNet, I think
astromanluca: or the iceMouse
westonm@mac.com: another question about iChat: the other people in the chat, are they just away or are they just in a private chat or what?
westonm@mac.com: i'm not to familiar with the whole "chat" thing
astromanluca: umm... could you elaborate?
astromanluca: ooh Macally has a new keyboard called the iceKey
astromanluca: very nice looking
westonm@mac.com: in the left drawer, there are peoples names, yet they never talk
astromanluca: well... looks like they just don't happen to be paying attention at the moment
westonm@mac.com: I was wondering if they are simply engaged in private messaging (if that is possible) or what
astromanluca: they're here
westonm@mac.com: ok
westonm@mac.com: just wondering
astromanluca: no problem
westonm@mac.com: for a one button mouse I find Apples very comfortable
astromanluca: wow I just realized that I've been talking to only one person for twenty minutes
astromanluca:
westonm@mac.com: he
astromanluca: yes, Apple does make good one button mice... but they are only one button...
astromanluca: even a two button without a scroll wheel is a big help
astromanluca: what I don't like is those ones with two scroll wheels
westonm@mac.com: this coming form the man that has used the same one button mouse for the last six years
astromanluca: totally useless
astromanluca: hehe
astromanluca: well, I'm used to it
westonm@mac.com: whatever floats your boat
astromanluca: But I'm going to have a two button once I get the new computer
westonm@mac.com: hmm...
westonm@mac.com: sleep
westonm@mac.com: need
astromanluca: Also, six years ago, a two button mouse wasn't really useful anyway
westonm@mac.com: I have to go (sleep)
astromanluca: okay, good night
westonm@mac.com: see ya around

cornerj4: That's my litespeed
sjpsu: i was just going to ask
8:00 PM
supermacg9: I ****ING HATE LIFE
supermacg9 has left this chat.
cornerj4: tiger is full of drama
sjpsu: wow. sweet. where have you taken it?
cornerj4: I've only ridden it around Boston. Usually out to Concord
sjpsu: Is it comfortable for longer rides?
cornerj4: surprisingly so
cornerj4: it's stiff for titanium, but that's because it is 6/4 titanium
sjpsu: wow. looks unforgiving.
cornerj4: if you're used to riding in a TT position, it's fairly comfortable
spartiansoldier: wow xidius i can finally see your buddy icon
sjpsu: lol. My dad's Trek.. damn can;t think of the name but it's carbon and alum frame... is more suited for touring
sjpsu: I prefer mountain biking in the Poconos here in Northeast PA. Cannondale F-500
cornerj4: I don't mine the litespeed for long rides... it's just a pain riding it in traffic... so it takes a quick 10 - 12 mile rid eto get out onto more open roads where I can fall into an aero position
cornerj4: er, mine = mind
8:05 PM
cornerj4: I need to order a new wheelset for my GT, then I'll ride it more often
cornerj4: it's 3/4 titanium, so it's a much smoother ride
sjpsu: what's wrong with the current set?
cornerj4: The bike was crashed into a guard rail at about 30mph
cornerj4: rear wheel shattered
cornerj4: <a href="http://www.beomaster.com/Images/crashed.jpg"; target="_blank">http://www.beomaster.com/Images/crashed.jpg</a>;
sjpsu: you're lucky you didn't damage the frame
cornerj4: yeah, well, the rear wheel slammed into a post
cornerj4: that's why it shattered
sjpsu: how did you survive the ordeal
cornerj4: so the rear wheel absorbed the impact and spared the frame
cornerj4: I slid for a good 20 feet on the asphalt before impact
sjpsu: clipped in?
cornerj4: heh, I survived it by knowing how to properly crash a bike There was a guy who witnessed it that said I crashed rather gracefully, for what it was worth
cornerj4: yeah, I ride Look pedals
cornerj4: There was this hairpin turn
cornerj4: and it was on a downhill
cornerj4: and it snuck up on me
cornerj4: so I started the turn at about 30mph according to my cycling computer
cornerj4: and realized I couldn't make it
cornerj4: so I laid the bike down on top of me
cornerj4: and slid it into the guard rail
cornerj4: cut up the entire left side of my leg pretty bad
sjpsu: how bad
cornerj4: Well, I shave, so it wasn't too too bad
cornerj4: went to the ER, they spent about an hour cleaning it out
cornerj4: gave me a Vicodin prescription
sjpsu: shit
sjpsu: painkiller?
cornerj4: the nerves are still growing back, and this happened almost 8 weeks ago
cornerj4: it could have been worse, wasn't my worst crash
sjpsu: oh i assumed it happened longer ago
cornerj4: I'm just happy the bike is OK
8:10 PM
sjpsu: what was your worst crash?
cornerj4: got hit head on by a car
cornerj4: and the driver drove off
cornerj4: was never caught
randysimpson@mac.com: hate that
cornerj4: from my shins up to a few inches above my knees
cornerj4: lost most of the skin
randysimpson@mac.com: street pizza
cornerj4: took three months for it to grow back all the way
cornerj4: and the doctors thought they might have to graft
sjpsu: Any muscle damage?
cornerj4: nope
cornerj4: I tore a muscle in my shoulder
cornerj4: and broke a couple of fingers
cornerj4: had to get a wheelchair for the first week after, then I was on crutches, then a cane for the remainder of the time
cornerj4: it really sucked
sjpsu: That sucks how he was never caught... didn't they have paint samples to go along witha vehicle description
cornerj4: someone got the license plate
cornerj4: but the car the tag was registered to didn't match the description
cornerj4: and it was a woman that hit me, I remember seeing her as I flew over her windshield
sjpsu: I am just absorbing this right now
randysimpson@mac.com: I got hit by a woman on a motorcycle when ridin my bike once
cornerj4: usually motorcyclists are watching our for cyclists... how'd that happen?
randysimpson@mac.com: long time ago...but she hit mee good
cornerj4: sjpsu: That crash was a good five years ago
randysimpson@mac.com: I was 10 ...so 28 years ago
8:15 PM
cornerj4: damn
sjpsu: My worst crashes only involved broken arms. Hairline fracture in the right arm the first time and in the left the second time
cornerj4: I had a jeep cherokee hit me on my left side while I was going through an intersection... back in 1998
cornerj4: the grill from the jeep actually tore out a chunk of my shin
cornerj4: and left an impression of itself in the wound
supermacg9 has joined this chat.
cornerj4: I still have the scar
randysimpson@mac.com: i ahd some close calls since then but have been lucky so far
cornerj4: I tend to get hit about once every two to three years... on average
cornerj4: sjpsu: I'm surprised you haven't broken a collarbone
cornerj4: those are fun
sjpsu: I was being stupid in my new C'dale with clipless pedals and couldn';t bail out of a technical section of the trail.. you kknow exposed roots and rocks.. and just fell down awkardly on my arm
cornerj4: you weren't going fast enough then
sjpsu: that was a ****ing long walk to the ****ing road *still angry*
randysimpson@mac.com: i raced sport class MTB for a few years in the 90's
sjpsu: yeah i didn't know I was 15
cornerj4: I used to race Expery Downhill/TT/XC
cornerj4: er, expert
cornerj4: NORBA Southeast region
randysimpson@mac.com: wow..must be good
cornerj4: I *was*
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: I couldn't do that anymore
sjpsu: what class
supermacg9 has left this chat.
cornerj4: I went mountain biking two weekends ago
cornerj4: I was actually scared on parts of the trail
cornerj4: I also hadn't ridden my mountain bike in about four years up until then
cornerj4: I raced off-road from about 1994 - 1998
sjpsu: Hell yeah.. descending trails on a mountain bike is a lot different... some of my friends have BALLS let me tell you
cornerj4: in '96-97 i was ranked #1 in Downhill in my class and region
sjpsu: what class was that
cornerj4: Expert
8:20 PM
cornerj4: but really, in the southeast.... downhill courses are a joke compared to, oh, California or the Northeast
sjpsu: really? do you get mountain bike magazine or bicycling
cornerj4: used to get Mountain Bike back then
cornerj4: I got a road bike in 1997 for training
cornerj4: and gradually stopped riding off-road
sjpsu: Zap's a real character.
cornerj4: left for college, ran otu of time for racing, just never got back into it
sjpsu: ha.. i find it funny you have a warning sticker on your rear triangle..
cornerj4: The trails around Boston kind of suck. They're all rocky
sjpsu: technical shit?
cornerj4: I was going down descents two weekends ago and seriously didn't think the bike would stay upright. I mean, there was so muc gravel on the trail that your tires had no traction
sjpsu: I'm neither talented nor strong enough to cleanly ride thouse
sjpsu: those
cornerj4: I haven't been used to have the shit kicked out of me while on a bike
cornerj4: I was sore the next two days
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: it hurt!
cornerj4: it made me really want a full suspension dealie
cornerj4: I used to be pretty ballsy, but I think I've gotten soft riding on road

sjpsu: lol didn
sjpsu: 't someone buy them?
sjpsu: like huffy
cornerj4: someone bought them, but GT still folded and are no more
cornerj4: I like Serotta for steel frames
cornerj4: Litespeed for Titanium. I mean, hands down, they're the best.
sjpsu: lol yes
sjpsu: Carbon fiber.. OCLV all the way
cornerj4: heh
cornerj4: I think if I were to buy another mountain bike, it would either be a Litespeed or some full suspension design
cornerj4: I'd be hard pressed to NOT buy a Titanium bike next time 'roudn
cornerj4: hopefully, I won't have to buy a new bike for a while
sjpsu: I don't have that kind of budget...
sjpsu: i mean i'm stretching with this PowerBook
cornerj4: It all depends on where you put your money. I could take a picture of my fridge currently...
cornerj4: it's filled with condiments

llovato@mac.com: i set up the network fine
sjpsu: I was on your mom's lan.. it's smooth let me tell ya

astromanluca: Rendezvous seems like a whole lot of vaporware so far
randysimpson@mac.com has joined this chat.
randysimpson@mac.com: hey peeps
sjpsu: yeah hardware must be designed for it right?
llovato@mac.com: que te pasa man
astromanluca: I mean, yeah, you set up your network, but there's none of the iTunes streaming server thing, and no Rendezvous iChat yet
astromanluca: I don't know if there are Rendezvous printers yet
llovato@mac.com: well ITunes & Rendezvous not supposed to be reaedy till 1/03
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: they demonstrated it though
randysimpson@mac.com: i have redezvous chat and printer
llovato@mac.com: but Ichat should be rendezvousable
astromanluca: hasn't worked for me
randysimpson@mac.com: it works here
randysimpson@mac.com: 1st time
9:50 PM
llovato@mac.com: it was an advanced version of iTunes
llovato@mac.com: randy is your network over airport
astromanluca: a version which I want, right now
randysimpson@mac.com: itunes isnt ready yet
astromanluca: I think I'll look for it
astromanluca: they showed it, no problem
randysimpson@mac.com: wired
randysimpson@mac.com: 3comps
llovato@mac.com: it may be an airport problem
astromanluca: no, wireless with the TiBook, remember?
astromanluca: Phil Schiller had the TiBook in his hand, streaming the music to Steve's computer
astromanluca: Then he closed it, sleeping the TiBook, and it stopped
randysimpson@mac.com: SJ said it was coming in january
astromanluca: cool
astromanluca: Can't wait
llovato@mac.com: but that was & upcoming version, not this one
randysimpson@mac.com: he said it at the end of the demo
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: I got iSync
llovato@mac.com: but why doesnt my ichat work with Rendezvous?
astromanluca:
randysimpson@mac.com: me too
llovato@mac.com: iSync is becuase iCal sucks so hard
randysimpson@mac.com: wish i could afford that sony phone
sjpsu: iCal sucks ass
randysimpson@mac.com: mine works everytime
llovato@mac.com: isync is useless without good iCal
randysimpson@mac.com: ical is nice
astromanluca: it seems fairly complete... but the brushed metal doesn't work right (you can't drag anywhere, it has to be at the top of the window) and the menu bar for iSync doesn't work correctly either
llovato@mac.com: sj, couldnt have said it better myself
llovato@mac.com: iCal is slow as hell
astromanluca: iCal + iSync + PDA or phone or iPod = Good
astromanluca: anything else = bad
astromanluca: oh, I forgot, add "G4" in there too
sjpsu: Palm Desktop kicks iCal's half-ass
randysimpson@mac.com: first version of iphoyo and itunes was slow also
llovato@mac.com: sj, it seems you have alot of pent up feelings..
astromanluca: iPhoto is still slow... but then again, everything is slow on a 233 MHz G3
sjpsu: I do
sjpsu: I really wanted to use iCal
randysimpson@mac.com: tis acceptable on 867QS
llovato@mac.com: tell me again how bad iCal is?
astromanluca: wait, Microsoft Word 5.1 is not slow on a 233 MHz G3
sjpsu: transparent calendars.. ohh man... but we can;t use them with like 7 colors
sjpsu: it sucks ass, man
llovato@mac.com: HA!!!
llovato@mac.com: LMAO!
astromanluca: MS Word 5.1 is fast on a fricking SE/30!
sjpsu: lol
9:55 PM
astromanluca: Yeah, that's right, I think Word 5.1 is probably the best word processing program ever written
astromanluca: OS 9 is fast on a 233 MHz G3
randysimpson@mac.com: word 5 was nice
astromanluca: Word 6 was bad
sjpsu: your mom is fast on my lap...
astromanluca: ?
sjpsu: i never used 6
llovato@mac.com: im sure iCal is useable on the new dualie g4s, but on my iBook 500 it SUCKS BIG TIME ASS
sjpsu: i went from 5.1 to office 98?
astromanluca: ah
astromanluca: Word 6 was extreme bloatware
sjpsu: or 97? whatever the mac version year was
randysimpson@mac.com: i was just reading a thread on AI about itunes hoggin cpu

jgerard48: ...?
llovato@mac.com: couldnt join with iChat or what?
jgerard48: no, at Dad's, on a PC (ugh), and can't figure out how to join
jgerard48: had to invite myself (lol) and get declined to enter...
astromanluca: yeah, it's dumb... the only way to get into a buddy chat in AIM is to invite someone as well
jgerard48: omg
llovato@mac.com: so your AIMin on a PC?
jgerard48: dumb alright
jgerard48: yeah
jgerard48: I feel dirty
astromanluca: so I always invite myself, or I invite "lkjttjwe" or some nonsense name
jgerard48: wow
astromanluca: but now I use iChat so I don't have that problem

westonm@mac.com: I like OS X
10:45 PM
astromanluca: I would like it more if I didn't have such a freaking slow computer
astromanluca: I really should save my heart some stress and just use OS 9
spartiansoldier: lol
westonm@mac.com: I went from a 333 iMac to a new duel gig
spartiansoldier: im doing fine with a 233.
westonm@mac.com: its nice
astromanluca: OS X is infuriatingly slow in a 233 PowerBook
westonm@mac.com: i can imagine
spartiansoldier: yea i can feel your pain there...even slower than my imac
westonm@mac.com: hee
astromanluca: yep
spartiansoldier: slowest supported mac to run mac os x actually
astromanluca: not quite
astromanluca: there is a cacheless version of mine
astromanluca: so, it's the second slowest
spartiansoldier: hehe
spartiansoldier: yay im not second slowest i guess
llovato@mac.com: 10.2.1 is cool on my dual USB iBook 500, all except slowCal
westonm@mac.com: iCal is even slow for me
llovato@mac.com: iCal is ****ed up
astromanluca: I saw an info sheet for the Wallstreet PowerBooks (first generation, 233/250/292)
llovato@mac.com: i mean iCal does not meet up to my expectations
westonm@mac.com: the germ of the idea is there though
astromanluca: There were MacBench benchmarks
westonm@mac.com: it can only get better
astromanluca: the cacheless 233 was only about 50% faster than a 3400
astromanluca: about half the speed of a 250
spartiansoldier: lol
astromanluca: because the 250 had 1 MB of L2 cache
spartiansoldier: thats kind of sad...
astromanluca: yes
spartiansoldier: yea my imac has 512k
astromanluca: same problem that afflicted the 1400/117
spartiansoldier: and the 250 wasnt a g3 either
astromanluca: yeah it was
spartiansoldier: 3400?
astromanluca: no, the 3400 was 240 MHz
astromanluca: There were two 250 MHz G3 PowerBooks - The Kanga aka 3500, and the G3 Series 250
spartiansoldier: oh wait i read all that wrong lol
fellowship@mac.com has joined this chat.
fellowship@mac.com: G'Day!
10:50 PM
astromanluca: the G3 series 250 was faster because it has twice the L2 cache (1 MB vs. 512k) and a faster bus (83 MHz vs. 66 MHz)
spartiansoldier: more like G'Night! here at least
fellowship@mac.com: indeed
fellowship@mac.com: hehehehehe
astromanluca: but the Kanga still stomped all over the cacheless 233
westonm@mac.com: <first time using ichat> Is there a way to set it so you can see the persons name next to the bubble instead of just an icon?
astromanluca: go to the view menu
westonm@mac.com: then?
astromanluca: choose "show names and pictures"
spartiansoldier: show names
westonm@mac.com: ahh
westonm@mac.com: thx
astromanluca: Apple should make that the default
astromanluca: because it's dumb otherwise
spartiansoldier: unless you are specifically geared for using ichat
spartiansoldier: i dont have a pic of myself so i created this helpful little graphic
spartiansoldier: brb, going to take a shower
fellowship@mac.com: ok
astromanluca: it's always good to scrape the crud off our bodies once in a while
llovato@mac.com: biggest problem with iChat is no buddy groups, my list is getting big
astromanluca: once a month, whether you need it or not!
astromanluca: Yeah, I want subcategories
astromanluca: I keep going between adding everyone here to my buddy list and not doing that
randysimpson@mac.com: gtg...later guys
westonm@mac.com: out of curiosity, do any of you know each other, or does any old person who visits the AI boards just come here?
fellowship@mac.com: take care
randysimpson@mac.com: bye
astromanluca: bye

10:55 PM
astromanluca: well, my brother doesn't come here often, and he's not a member of AI, but he's sometimes here
astromanluca: named Emilio
astromanluca: I am on AI and here and LEMchat
westonm@mac.com: so i'm guessing that at least you and your brother know each other
westonm@mac.com: <first time using iChat> Is there a way to take away the bubbles and make the text into a more "standard" view?
llovato@mac.com: you can change the fonts, but bubbles stay
westonm@mac.com: well shoot
llovato@mac.com: bubbles are cool
westonm@mac.com: kinda
westonm@mac.com: but I like options
astromanluca: too bad you can't take away the scrolling thing
westonm@mac.com: ?
westonm@mac.com: scrolling thing?
astromanluca: yeah
astromanluca: when you post, it scrolls down
westonm@mac.com: o
astromanluca: to reveal the new message, instead of instantly going there
astromanluca: that really hogs my CPU, which is again a 233 MHz G3
westonm@mac.com: can't say that i mind it
bklynbums has joined this chat.
11:00 PM
astromanluca: I like it too, but it makes my CPU go to full usage
astromanluca: yeah, it's taking half the CPU just sitting here
westonm@mac.com: test
westonm@mac.com: test
astromanluca: with OmniWeb, iChat, and Mail open, 1/2 of the CPU is being used
westonm@mac.com: doesn't do much to my cpus
astromanluca: that's how slow this thing is
astromanluca: CPUs, plural... envy!
bklynbums has left this chat.
astromanluca: anyway, I'll be there soon too... my dual 500 is due here in about a week
westonm@mac.com: sweet
astromanluca: yep
westonm@mac.com: is iChat supposed to do something when I double click on someones name?
westonm@mac.com: in the left drawer that is
westonm@mac.com: All I get is "so and so is offline"
astromanluca: Radeon, 640 ram, 40 gb hd, SCSI card
astromanluca: i'm excited
westonm@mac.com: thx
astromanluca: it'll be my second really major jump in speed
westonm@mac.com: what was the first?
astromanluca: 8100/100 to PowerBook G3/233
westonm@mac.com: ahh
westonm@mac.com: pretty large hops there
astromanluca: Before that, I went SE/30 to IIcx to Quadra 610 to 7100 to 8100
astromanluca: the IIcx to Quadra was pretty big, as was the Quadra to the 7100
westonm@mac.com: i had an SE 30...
westonm@mac.com: fun little machine
astromanluca: but I wasn't pushing the limits of my processor back then
astromanluca: I just played EV
11:05 PM
astromanluca: EV was fast even on a 16 MHz 68030
westonm@mac.com: I first had EV on a performa 52 15 CD
astromanluca: ooh, crusty!
westonm@mac.com: sÃ*
astromanluca: ever visit low end mac?
westonm@mac.com: can't say that i have
westonm@mac.com: what is it?
astromanluca: website dedicated to older macs
astromanluca: in their "Road Apple" section, the 5200/5300/6200/6300 got the worst rating
westonm@mac.com: nice
westonm@mac.com: or solid
westonm@mac.com: whatever
astromanluca: Road Apples are ones that were not necessarily bad, but poorly executed and not great
westonm@mac.com: where does the performa rank?
astromanluca: Ranging from one star (like the Cube, which was nice but just didn't work out)
westonm@mac.com: still could though
astromanluca: To four star (avoid at all costs, like the 5200/6200
astromanluca: The IIvx is up there, though, getting a three star
westonm@mac.com: ahh the dark years
westonm@mac.com: can't say I miss them
astromanluca: anyway, there are quite a few... IIvx, Classic, 5200/6200, PowerBook 5300, PowerBook 150, to name a few
11:10 PM
astromanluca: They also have a "Best Buys" section
westonm@mac.com: whats in there?
westonm@mac.com: I assume the best models...
astromanluca: Best buys include the SE/30, IIci, LC III, IIfx, Centris 650, PowerMac 7200, PowerMac 7500, Beige G3, PowerBook 540c, and PowerBook 1400
astromanluca: For various reasons
westonm@mac.com: I used to use a beige g3
astromanluca: 7200 isn't very upgradable, but it's very cheap
westonm@mac.com: that thing screamed
astromanluca: Beige G3s are still viable today and can be had for under $300
astromanluca: sometimes under $200
westonm@mac.com: I still like my two processores
westonm@mac.com: another question: How do you send a private message?
westonm@mac.com: because when I double click anyone i just get that "they are offline"
astromanluca: Road Apples... Portable, IIfx, Classic, IIsi, LC, Classic II, LC II, Color Classic, IIvx, Mac TV, Quadra 800/PM8100 case, Centris (the name), PB150, PB5300, 5200/5300/6200, PM7200/8200, PB1400/117, PM4400, PBG3/233 cacheless, Cube
astromanluca: quite a list
westonm@mac.com: no kidding
11:15 PM
astromanluca: also the AppleVision 1710 monitor, PowerBook Express Modem, GeoPort "Modem", Adjustable Keyboard, USB Keyboard, and puck mouse
astromanluca: <a href="http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/index.shtml"; target="_blank">http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/index.shtml</a>;
westonm@mac.com: i never minded the puck mouse except for its one button
westonm@mac.com: how did you include the hyperlink?
astromanluca: I can stand the version with the groove in the button
astromanluca: just copy and paste it in
westonm@mac.com: makes sense
astromanluca: I can't use the regular puck mouse without the groove effectively
westonm@mac.com: it was tough
astromanluca: but it is a very durable, precise mouse, especially for a ball mouse
westonm@mac.com: yes it is
astromanluca: my mom got a MacAlly shell for it
westonm@mac.com: did that improve it that much?
fellowship@mac.com has left this chat.
westonm@mac.com: i had thought about for a while but decided against it
westonm@mac.com: the shell that is
astromanluca: the shell just lets you determine the orientation better
astromanluca: it's like night and day
westonm@mac.com: I just wish Apple would offer a two button mouse
astromanluca: huge improvement. And it's so nice for a ball mouse that I think it's worth it
westonm@mac.com: have a standard one button, but at least an option for a two button
astromanluca: Personally, I use a MacAlly one button ADB mouse, the same one I've been using since I got the 7100 about six years ago
westonm@mac.com: wow
astromanluca: It works as well as the day I got it

astromanluca: I will always buy MacAlly mice from now on, they are the most durable mice on the planet
westonm@mac.com: I just find the second button very handy
astromanluca: They do make a two button ADB mouse
astromanluca: but I don't want to give this one up
westonm@mac.com: lol
11:20 PM
astromanluca: I'll have to get a two button scroller from them because I'm so used to the shape
astromanluca: the iOptiNet, I think
astromanluca: or the iceMouse
westonm@mac.com: another question about iChat: the other people in the chat, are they just away or are they just in a private chat or what?
westonm@mac.com: i'm not to familiar with the whole "chat" thing
astromanluca: umm... could you elaborate?
astromanluca: ooh Macally has a new keyboard called the iceKey
astromanluca: very nice looking
westonm@mac.com: in the left drawer, there are peoples names, yet they never talk
astromanluca: well... looks like they just don't happen to be paying attention at the moment
westonm@mac.com: I was wondering if they are simply engaged in private messaging (if that is possible) or what
astromanluca: they're here
westonm@mac.com: ok
westonm@mac.com: just wondering
astromanluca: no problem
westonm@mac.com: for a one button mouse I find Apples very comfortable
astromanluca: wow I just realized that I've been talking to only one person for twenty minutes
astromanluca:
westonm@mac.com: he
astromanluca: yes, Apple does make good one button mice... but they are only one button...
astromanluca: even a two button without a scroll wheel is a big help
astromanluca: what I don't like is those ones with two scroll wheels
westonm@mac.com: this coming form the man that has used the same one button mouse for the last six years
astromanluca: totally useless
astromanluca: hehe
astromanluca: well, I'm used to it
westonm@mac.com: whatever floats your boat
astromanluca: But I'm going to have a two button once I get the new computer
westonm@mac.com: hmm...
westonm@mac.com: sleep
westonm@mac.com: need
astromanluca: Also, six years ago, a two button mouse wasn't really useful anyway
westonm@mac.com: I have to go (sleep)
astromanluca: okay, good night
westonm@mac.com: see ya around

I would post some old transcripts, but they just don't have the same effect without the changing buddy icons and different font styles for each personality.

Man, that's funny! I can see the word "asspastry" keeping me amused for the rest of the week.
Every time I've been to the room, there's either been no-one there, or everyone's been quiet...

Brad's right, it's definately great when him and urbot are in there. A lot more fun.
Besides, who wants to read that sh!t second hand, anyway?
And besides, who the heck wants to read 36 pages of crap? (Sorry Paul, we still love you)
