    I agree Rex. When suits were my required uniform, my tailor always made sure I had a small swatch of material for my wallet. When purchasing ties (IMHO the most important accessory for a suit, shoes being the second) or shirts, I had in my wallet a sample of every suit in my closet.

    Has anyone had issues loading the Hose page from the Skye Highland Outfitters web site? It appears that something in the page causes my computer to load tons of memory and slugs it down. I've talked to Josh and he's aware of some issues and plans on getting things updated. I was just wondering if the problem I have is duplicated with anyone else.

    The hose are great and I'll have to put them on the wish list for accessories to get.

    Did not want to say anything, but oh yes! I can only access it on my laptop (3gig memory); If I try it on my wife's desktop (2gig memory), then it goes into terminal sieze up and I get no mouse or keyboard control. After half an hour of hard-working computer but no output, I switch off at the mains and re-boot. The site is still on my favourites list, but at the moment is not my favourite favourite.

    Regards

    Oh my gosh! Thanks for the worning. I can't stand when that happens.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Just remember, Rex:

    "chunky legs" = more tartan to show off! Think how wimpy and mean (in the UK sense) these would look with less territory to cover.

    At least, that's the line I like to use. . .

    Ok, well Josh is aware of the issue, and he's an Xmarks member as well, so I'm sure he will be working on it and will let us know when it's up and running properly

    Hey guys-
    I went to my mothers and tried on her new PC and the same thing happened-It goes to a page and acts like its frozen. Strangely enough, all my mac user friends have no problem. I have absolutely no idea about coding, so I'm at a loss. If anyone knows what to do to change this, I'd appreciate it. I worked for Apple for 12 years, so I'm not a computer dummy, but I DO NOT have html experience. i'll keep fiddling around with it.-Josh
