Run Mozilla. It takes a few days, but it will lock up your XP machine.

You have problems with Firefox????

If you read the article you provided a link to, you would see that the
cars must be modified by the stinking French *******s.

Whaddya mean.... the US is still deciding if it'll allow them in the
country. Modify them yourselves as a condition of import.

The new Saturn Sky Roadster is also rear wheel drive and will skunk
your Yugo knockoff death trap. The only thing going for that HOJ is its
a diesel.


Whaddya mean "my"... I don't own one! Saturn makes the best family car, GMC
makes the best 4x4 1/4 ton and Ford makes the best 1/2 ton. The 3/4 ton race
is still in the air at this moment.... but it's a toss up between Ford and
Dodge.

Please try to follow along here Mooron.
The cars ya bragged about being sold in Canaduh (please see the first
post of this thread by YOU) have to be modified by the stinking French
before they are allowed in CANADUH your country.

Ford makes the best trucks. Just bought me a classic. A 1961 Ford
Econoline truck. Only made for 3 years. The whole body was hot dipped.
This one I found on e-bay, been sittin in a barn for 13 years...
original paint, 144 ci strait six and no rust. Hope to have it totally
restored before summer.

Also have a saturn as well..an SC.

Scotty has a nice classic truck sitting on cinder blocks rotting away.
What a redneck.

Try removing some of the critical registry items. If you need a list, let me
know.

The last few months saw a steady decline in performance results from the
benchmark tests so I decided to F-Disk the drive and now it's running fast
and steady.

Yes, I have flown in a couple of homebuilt aircraft using MS software.

No fair! I said "Windows" specifically.

Actually *if* set up correctly, NT isn't too bad for networked
controllers. I don't know how to do it myself, but over the years I've
built up a working list of pitfalls to avoid.

The problem doing that with a car is that each entry on the punch list
represents somebody's smash-up.

Don't take this personally Frank, I switched from Mac to PC a few years
ago and am still appalled at how often Windows 98, ME, SE, and XP crash.
As soon as they quit buying me new computers every two years, I'm
switching back...

I have intense lust for a Velocity 4-place canard built by a guy I know
in the XBox group. It's the perfect airplane. Sigh...

One of these?

http://www.velocityaircraft.com/airabout.html

It definitely looks like a cool plane! If it had a VTOL option, then it'd
be the *perfect* plane...


... And for sailing
content, I've crewed on several boats using MS software.

You're way ahead of me there.


... Just like I enjoyed
getting my dividend check but didn't find it an adequate substitute for
the stock performance I'd gotten used to in 90's.


Income can easily be turned into growth, but growth can't so easily be
turned into income.

There was sure a lot of money to be made off the Y2K insanity; but I'm
lazy. I value my time more than I value money, as long as I can put
food on the table. And people were CRAZY during that silliness.

Oh yes. Big time. They say it comes and goes in cycles.

It's nice to get far enough up on the power curve that you can relax the
money grabber. When young & poor, I threw away lots & lots of time to
save a little money... fixing up boats was a prime example.

Is CAD a graphic art?


NO!... it's a drafting / modeling application.

Rot! CAD: Computor Aided Design; the operative word here being design.
Some design is pure science, some is pure art, most is a bit of both.


It's a misnomer..... vector based and you provide the coordinates for it to
plot.. 2D or 3D. Yes you can design from scratch.... but try and import a
rastar based graphic to incorporate and your **** out of luck. It's utilzed
in engineering.. not graphics.

Show me a good designer and I'll show you an artist.

Yeah?... I'll show you a good draftsman.

TWO of them, Joe, a '50 and a '53. One minimum is the law here.

No, that's not what I meant. The steering in those late 50's and
early 60's Ford
PU trucks and vans was horrible. By the time they were ten years old,
the
steering wheel had to be turned an eighth of a turn before the wheels
started to
change direction.

You can adjust the slack out. And they make these things call tie-rod
ends. Like any machine some parts wear out and must be replaced.

The operative term is 'Computer Aided'. The 'D' properly stands for
'Drafting'. CAD is an electronic drawing board - it doesn't contain 'design'
tools, it contains 'drafting' tools.


Some design is pure science, some is pure art, most is a bit
of both.

Good design is about finding solutions to address specific problems. Good
drafting is about expressing or describing those solutions with sufficent
competence for them to be implemented.


Show me a good designer and I'll show you an artist.

There are plenty of good designs that are badly drawn - because there are
good designers that can't drive CAD (or draw) to save themselves.
