  • Rotten.com - Ronald Reagan Bio: http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/pr...ronald-reagan/
  • It really is a great source. NPR here in Chicago did a story on the site and how a number of large companies pay for the Debka subscription service. Heck, even NPR admitted to using it as a source on occasion. Very interesting stuff.
  • [quote]Originally posted by SDW2001: They say that new car sales are doing well on the whole. I am starting wonder how in light of what the things cost these days. My wife and I will soon be in the market for either an SUV or minivan. We ne…
  • I'm even-handed -> 750M/750V So it was a bit hurmorous when folks in college gave me shit like, "Ed, you're here because of affirmative action" or "you're taking the spot of a qualified *white* person." Eh, it's a shame.

  • An excellent excerpt from Michael Moore's recent book, "Stupid White Men" - Click the link for the full text. Good read.
  • I've been running incremental backups from my TiBook to a 60gig IBM Deskstar connected through a Wiebetech firewire bridge. The IBM drive had a head-crash two days ago. I lost my backup images and some misc. large files. It's not TOO bad, but I'm tu…
  • [quote]Originally posted by torifile: I'm not trolling, I swear. I've got a tibook myself and the paint is chipping on it also. But I've decided that I'll get over it. The chipping on the hinges is bad, but the problem is there is no way for anyone…
  • I think Apple made a decision about my Powerbook. I missed the call today, but will catch them first thing in the morning. To "Joseph Mother", thank you for your comments. I don't want people to think I'm crazy or obsessive. My effort has convin…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Jonathan: I don't doubt the verity of the fact that the silver edge paint is VERY prone to problems. Mine has been certainly rather good in this regard, though. I have only experienced scratching in two areas, both ca…
  • The Wallstreets were known to have faulty hinges/loose displays. *Some* TiBooks from October-January have this paint issue. Isn't it obvious that the wear on MY unit is out of spec?
  • [quote]Originally posted by Ti X: Well, if Apple saw what happened to your first PowerBook, and then your second...I think that they might assume you are a tad rough with your equipment. I think you are the exception, not the rule. I'm not rough…
  • I find out today. Wish me luck.
  • Grrr.... I wanna buy the new one.... Grrr.... Can't afford it. Still paying-off defective Powerbook.... Grrr... Can't sell defective Powerbook...
  • UGH! I'm SO getting the runaround on this. "We'll contact you in a week". I've been stuck with 2 defective laptops in the past (a wallstreet and a 5300cs). I don't know how to approach this.
  • The portion that is scratching is carbon-fiber. It's black/grey at the surface. The paint issues stem from poor adhesion to the carbon fiber bezel. Yes, it's crappy. I'm just waiting to see what Apple will do.
  • Again, I wouldn't accept a repair job. If a car developed such a problem, the entire thing would be replaced. This problem is much deeper than a simple paint issue. There's some sort of corrosion in effect.
  • I'm workin' on it...
  • My buddy at AMD has been developing on a prototype Apple box. He says he can't tell me what he knows. We'll see
