Come on Hamish, you're not the computer twit you make out to be!

Oh, yes I am!

I don't let on about the number of times I have to call upon friends to come over and help me out, or even get me out, of trouble. I just tried to upgrade my Real Player because the version I had was out of date, and I made a nonsense of the whole thing. As for upgrading my Windows XP with something called 2 Pack (I think), which I was prompted to do when logging on last week ...... well, I practically blew up the computer, and I still don't know if I have the upgrade!

I admit, I am fine with photos (can even downsize them now so that they are suitable for places like "X Marks ...." galleries!!!), but that's the Artist in me. Everything else requires a Technician/Engineer, which I most certainly am not!

It's alright for you youngsters, but I had to teach myself how to use these things, having retired before we had them at the office!

Don't worry mate technology for me peaked with the wheel, the spinning jenny and pull tabs for cans. You are streets ahead of me re computers, having said that I can lift heavy things.
Cheers Rhino

Hey Rhino! Who says I cannot lift heavy things? I can lift a full glass with the best of 'em (but it usually loses weight very quickly! )

That's cause there's a hole in it.

AAAHHHHH!!!!! Hamish. Please not XP SP2!!!!! Say it ain't so. Please let me know next time. Too many problems and M$ won't admit to it.

(OK Richard...remember deep breaths....)

Sorry, had to regain my composure.

I'm sorry for your tech problems and I hope things are better now. Sorry I don't live closer or you could have given me a call and I would have come over and 'cleaned up' the mess.

I guess my penguin computer and I will go back and sit in the corner quiely now....

Yeeeesss, that's it, Richard, SP2. I knew there was a "2" in it somewhere. I've not heard about it, but when I logged on one day last week, a window awaited me and recommended that I needed to download (?) it to avoid possible connection problems with the internet. It all semmed to be rather complicated, and asked questions that I had to guess the answers to, but it seemed to complete doing whatever it was supposed to do - although nothing told me that it had finished! Anyway, I've had no problems - touch wood!

Take care,
Ham.
(PS: You'd still be very welcome to pop round and fix any computer problems, should they occur, Richard. What's a few thousand miles?!!!!)

The ears are pretty much the only thing that can get in the way. I've had a much easier time shaving my head than any other part of my- I mean than shaving my face

what have you guys done to me? now I seeem to be nicking myself everytime I shave! I do agree that there are _many_ more difficult places to shave than the head - err...not that I go around shaving other parts of me. Well, not anymore anyway.

richard, which "flavor" of *nix do you run? I was thinking of switching over on my PPC, but the pro audio software just isn't ready for primetime, yet.

Anyone here use a straight razor?

[MDR-V300]

Anyone here use a straight razor?

I do, and I love it.
Mine is from Thiers-Issard, and so, so, soooo nice.
It's definitely got a learning curve to it, but taking the time to shave with a mug and a brush and a straight razor is one of my great ways to relax.


As for you, Jazzkiltz, two things:
1. Mandrake is an excellent flavor, with all of the ease of Redhat rpms but more frothy coolness.
2. Shaving 'other parts' of your body with a straight razor is a great way to develop one's sense of religion
