Title: Faster than a speeding Quaker!
Post by: fightingquaker13 on May 30, 2011, 04:56:24 PM
I sucked it up and bought the new machine. I can now annoy y'all from an I5 at a blazing 2.66 Ghz. Maybe I'll even be able to get the spell check to work this time. ;D

You might be the first person in the history of the forum to give spell-check a headache............   ;)  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D


Congrats on the new machine, hope it works well for you.

Should be a good machine.  Hope it serves it's new master well.  ;)

Once she's up and running the way you like let us see what you set your desktop up like.

My netbook (thanks go to Haz!)  ;)

+++ on the new machine, FQ.

Moved here two years ago from Michigan.  Sitting in a church of 300+ people a while back and the pastor asked who was actually born in this area.  THREE people raised their hands!  We're ALL transplants here.  Democrats and snow both S@#%!   ;D

Funny thing BM, back in the day (1977) I went flounder fishing with a Marine buddy on that pier, cought a 1/2 dozen each,  He and his wife were from Ky so I showed them how to filet them and she cooked them up. (they lived off base )

Is that a "Vargas girl" on your desktop ?

I appreciate the thanks, Badger, but my legs don't really look that good!  ;)

MAN, you've got a good memory!  And good taste in art to (speaking of Vargas).  ;)

And they have wifi out there.  So when the fishings slow...  NETBOOK TIME!  $80 for a season pass is a pretty good deal!

It's actually a lesser artists drawing of Bettie Page.  "Pin Up Girl of the World" - 1955.  And January playmate of the month that same year.   ;)

Haz, I'm thrilled to have a desktop image at all!  AND be able to change theme colors, network to my blueray players, and a dozen other things you can't do with Windows 7 "starter".  That's what comes on ALL netbooks.  >:(  Piratebay.org had a number you can use to upgrade to Windows 7 "Ultimate" for free!  And you actually download the software directly from Microsoft, so NO chance of a virus or malware or whatever.  NICE!!!   ;D ;D ;D  Thanks again!!!

Not that I would know or anything, but while similar, Vargas's girls had, if memory serves me, a more pronounced D'ecolletage. 


(more cleavage)


BADGER:  The wife and I, after much deliberation about which beach, decided to spend a week at Holden Beach, just up the coast from you.  We've never been to a NC beach before and thought we'd try something different.   Any recommendations on eating, entertainment.....oh and you know shooting?

It's actually a little warmer than that right here in Michigan. There's a heat advisory all day from midnight to 8 pm tonight.

Windows Explorer won't do the spell checking.  You gotta use Firefox, it's a built in utility.  It will not, however, correct your abysmal grammar, your political views or polish turds.  You'll have to work on those in your spare time!
