I'm just sayin. I spend all day either programming Windows machines or telling other people what to program Windows machines to do. I can tell you the Windows device API call to send a pixel to your graphics card or how to construct an elaborate GUI from dynamically queried database objects. When I turn on my computer at home it makes that delightful chiming sound and my blood pressure falls instantly. Those who know, know.

I'm just sayin. When I came on the LUG some nine years ago, I was derided for being a 'doze guy. I had to stay one, because the nearest mac-tech was? then in New Orleans, five hours by stagecoach.? Now we have one in Shreveport who charges $120 to look, plus $100 an hour to do, and all is do-do, thus bills are at least $450, which is what I paid for my new 17 inch Lenovo. I am still a Windows guy, and all the problem with computers traffic on the LUG now is with Macs and the various cats. I have cat problems too.? Izzy cut herself a few weeks ago, and had to be stitched.? Then over the weekend, Henri cut his heel and had to get stitches, and got a collar.? When I got home, I noticed Izzy had developed a hot spot on her side from grooming her healed wound, so she got a collar.? It looked like dish network and D-TV orbiting the house. For Henri, the advantage is that he can go on the attack now that his head is cataphracted from being beaten to a pulp by the bigger cats. Though, when your front surface is a six inch funnel rather than a streamlined four inch ball, your aerodynamics are thrown off, and landing on an object-laden table causes all hands to take cover, not knowing if it be Cataclasm or Cataclysm. So you Mac guys pay MAC bills, and I pay VET bills, and all because of leopards and tabbies. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
