Wait a minute Prpixel,
I remember that saying too. And I also remember when I thought color TV was a big deal!
When you've finished, I'll need to pry the Ginsu from your hand and use it too.
Out... |
There's way to much laughing going on here! For god's sake, this is a serious forum. Straighten up and fly right! Keep'yer ginsu knives for those tin cans that need cuttin' up. All you folks needing a good massage, getting old and tired, and considering Hairy Cary (Cary's new Suicidal Amplifier with lifelike hair) ought to come out to Seattle and have my wife work on you.....she's a massage therapist specializing in deep tissue and injury rehab. She doesn't care what computer platform you use, and sure as heck doesn't give a rat's ass about your high-end gear. Even Vinamese may become a convert, though not without shedding a few tears and crying out for mercy once or twice! As for me getting a massage, it's like the old saying about "..the shoemakers children never getting new shoes...." I'll just hop on my motorcycle and take a long ride in the mountains.

Gunbei, I'm glad you and vinamese got things worked out. I don't want to be the cause of another internet "situation". Heck, I'm in those too often myself.
I don't think the Mac will work because I am tied to software/ printer which only runs on Windows/DOS. So I will look into abspc as midficollege suggested or maybe used like bigkidz mentioned. It seems the big three of Dell, Gateway, and HP all have quality / service issues so I might as well buy used cheap and trash it if it dies. That's my thought for now.
Whatever happened to gunbeidammit? Any relation? I always got a kick out of that moniker. |
I think you're taking a good approach. If you get a cheap system now that accomplishes what you need and that's all you need, that's great. And, if after dabbling a bit with photo manipulation you decide this image editing thing is something you might want to explore, look into other options if and when that time arrives.
Gunbeidammit? Actually, I think that's what Marco [Jax2] was calling me some months ago, hahah. That, or he calls me the greenman.
Good luck and have fun, and let us know when you post the photos! |
Check out Velocity Micro for your computer (www.velocitymicro.com). Their stuff is very nice, cutting edge, and high quality. I have one of their notebooks and it's best made notebook I've ever seen.
I've also heard/read that Voodoo computers are topnotch.
As for the camera, I'd suggest you checkout the Pentax Optio 555. 5 meg digital with good quality.
Good luck |
Cdc,
Gunbei is being a good horse. :-)
Marco,
I'd tried it a couple times (massage), but I couldn't get up the next day... PPPlease!!!
Computers and digital cameras are tools! (I add this line just to make it conform to the thread) |
Vinamese -
That's Pokeydammit who's the good horse. Gumby is just a green slant-headed boy with big eyes and no genitalia to speak of (no wonder he's pissed off!). Gunbei (Dean) is a good egg.....no wait, that's Humpty Dumpty!! FerChrissake Dean, what the heck are you anyway?!
As fer' massage; if you really could not get up the next morning, (and I'm assuming you had not downed a pint of tequilla on the previous evening), then you either had a piss poor massage therapist, or you need to get your ass in better shape dude! Quit listening to that devil-music and get your butt out the door and get some excercise! At least that's what my wife tells me when I ask for a massage! :-D

Hey Vinamese,
I love massages! And I hear that you can get good ones in Little Vietnam in Westminster, CA just south of where I live. At least that's what my non-Vietnamese friends tell me.
Then again, my Vietnamese friends never seem to get massages either. They just like shooting guns, driving fast cars and going out with little White spinner rave chicks.
The gal that is in those Honda Pilot commercials gives me my massages. You know the commercials, the ones where the guy was raised by wolves. |
Marco,
Ya so good! ...Damn! look at my stomach. Uhhh. Yes, yes, excecise is the key. Can I just shout the word: "E-X-E-R-C-I-S-E" 5 times a day and be done with? LOL
Hey Gunbei,
You're talking about the Americanized kids? I'm an old fart, bro. LOL |
Me too, I'm as old as Mr. Marco the Mad Massage Monger, heheh. |
Marco,
Does the warm glow of the tubes promote hair growth on the Cary hairy suicide amp? If it does I have a few friends who want to strap it to the heads.
Laghed my ___ of when I read the post. Good one. |
Absolutely, though I can't guarantee exactly where the hair will grow. The Cary hairpiece idea sounds great except that if they were in a hurry, your friends may forget to unplug all the cords before donning the piece. I've heard that strapping any of the ARC Reference series components to your ankles helps you loose weight too. Tube replacement can be required more frequently if you do not remove them before those morning jogs. Same deal with the cord removal too, although some folks use the cords to secure the amps to their ankles (make sure to get long enough wires though). Also, I've heard that the Thor gear can enhance your sex life. Something about the shape of the things, I dunno, just make sure to power them down before trying that one.
