Glad you're back at work Tom ! I got Melanie's desktop unpacked, and up and running yesterday. Mine is supposed to come today. I'll probably be off line for a few days until my Internet provider can come in and configure the new router and modem to both new PC's. But it will be worth the wait. I'll still have Internet by way of Melanie's laptop and my old router and modem until I get everything hooked up and configured.

After I'm done with all of this I.T. business, I'm going to take Mel's Toshiba laptop and use it for all of my gun stuff. I want to catalog everything, and keep a lot of my handload recipes in it. I'm hoping to find some software that's easy to run that is more or less designed for that sort of thing. I know there is a lot out there, but I haven't had the time to really research it. That's another project for yet another day. I have to "work on" computers a little at a time. They drain too much of my patience in one long setting!  Bill T.

Just downloaded and watched it last night.  Great movie IMO!  A must see for anybody that would read this forum.

My question is.  How many people that watched the movie REALLY got the scene at the end with the cereal boxes???  I'm sure decorated veterans did.  But I wonder what the masses took away from that...    

The cereal boxes represented the "material world". So many different boxes of the same crap. He knew his calling, he knew what he really wanted to do. Heroically, and thankfully, there are those kind of men in the sandbox right now. and remember, Afghanistan is probably worse.

Great movie, when in doubt about range, get the Barrett... you'll reach em'.

Congrats on the new stuff billt, back up with Carbonite, when these new computers die off in a couple years, it will be easier.

I've got this one hooked up, and on line, but it hasn't been easy or without issues. Melanie's is up and running as well, but I can't get her on the Internet just yet because, and this is and old story, my Internet provider, (Cox Communications), sold me a router and adapter that is not compatible with Windows 7.

So........ I call the Netgear "24/7 Tech Support Line" and wind up talking to some guy in India who I can't even understand. He gives me a web address where he says I can download the proper drivers. I go there and it dumps me into some Google site that is a complete clusterf*#k. Bottom line, I'M DONE! The Router and Adapter are going back this morning. Then I will go across the street to Best Buy and purchase something that has drivers that are compatible with Windows 7. If it doesn't say Microsoft Windows 7 on the box, I'm not buying it. Then, my cable company can send the nerds to my house and get this Space Shuttle of a nightmare up and running!  Bill T.
