Not a thing.

I just can't understand why you wish to start the day that way.
Reggie has
always been very gentlemanly towards you, even when he's caught you
in some
of your more blatant 'misstatements'. He doesn't call you names, and
treats
you with appropriate respect.

He's also quite knowledgeable about boats and photography. He's even
given
you several valuable tips with regards to both.
In fact, you may want to change your signature to be more in line
with how
you should feel.

I cannot recall one useful tip from Reggie about anything. He did
offer up one in the last week about a remote photo shutter device,
but when I asked a few photographers who use and are still using the
device, it turned out Reggie's advice was wrong on that, too.

Boating tips from Reggie? Surely you jest.

I say, ESAD, Reggie. The sooner the better.

Have a nice day, John.

Well it does look like you took my advice on Windows Vista and are going
to switch over to Mac. I am glad I could be of assistance.

I am pimping my daughter out to Bill Gates. Bought her a new laptop with
Vista on it, we'll see what happens. The system is a dell with a 2GHz
processor with 3GB RAM and a 160 GB disk. I figured for $450 I couldn't
go wrong even if it dies in two years it is still a bargain.

By the way, who or what is ESAD?


It is the sign of a man who is afraid to state publicly how he feels
about you. He needs to use childish Internet Messaging vocabulary.

There's no connection. I have no problems with VISTA, I simply like the
MAC hardware and apps better than I like Windows apps.

As far as computers go, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

Stick to brick laying.

I was in Best Buy yesterday getting some blank CD and DVD disks and happened
to browse through the computers on display. This one caught my eye and I
was going to buy the package, but they only had the version with less RAM
(and minus a few other features) in stock. Thinking of ordering it
direct from HP on-line.
I liked it's small size .... sorta a hybrid between a conventional tower
computer and a laptop. I can't imagine needing a 500GB hard drive. The HP
Laptop I use now has an 80 GB hard drive and, after several years of use and
adding many applications, music, videos, etc. it still has about 70 GB of
unused capacity.

I've had very good luck with the HP Pavilion Laptop that I use now, as has
my wife with her similar version.
Mine's quite a few years old now and I expect it to blow up someday soon so
I am already thinking of it's replacement. Going to Vista doesn't get me
all excited, but I really haven't tried it much and am only going by the
industry reaction to it. Switching to a Mac just isn't in the cards. I
don't have the level of interest in computers to get into running software
emulators and/or stocking up on new applications to do stuff.

He asked.

Besides, consistency of feelings is one of my admirable attributes. :)
I've always considered "Reggie" to be a cowardly p.o.s. Nothing has
happened in the interim to make me change my mind.

The etymology of ESAD as an expression has nothing to do with Internet
Messaging, and in fact predates it by many decades.

You cannot accuse me of being afraid to state publicly how I feel about
any number of posters here. Not only that, but unlike some, I have no
fear about using my real name.

The transition isn't that, Richard. If, for example, you write stuff or
do spreadsheets with the Microsoft Office package, the same package is
available to run on MACs in MAC mode. Same with Thunderbird, Firefox,
and many other apps. You really would not have to "buy" very many apps,
I would guess.

But I won't argue against VISTA. It works fine for me.
