Did he pay you Big Money? (pun intended
)Great story!
The usual fee....

PS.
Back then I was a bit jalous of the Montreal tennis pros. One example: our Davis Cup captain (and a tennis pro for the major part of the year) had the chance to get every year a one week stay in a corporate condo in Tokyo. A gift from his tennis Japanese students (the big guys in the electronic field who were playing at his club).

Hardly. Tell it.
Well....
As a former tennis director of an indoor tennis club in a city where tourism is a big part of the economic activity there's so many fun opportunities. There's one. All the producers of rock concerts in our city are connected to the usual network of solid sources for VIP entertainement. My club was one of these sources. The funny thing is that when celebrities are privately visiting incognito (or even when musicians are on tour) they want to do normal things but in a secret way.
At the club I managed we had a freaking nice setting with a private court in a separate building from the main complex. In and out without any chance to be seen by the regular club members. There I had the chance to practice with many high profile people who wanted to play tennis with the local pro hiden from the general public. No big deal it was part of the job. Now back to the main topic. One evening I received a message like this '' dont go to to bed too late you have a practice with a member of a rock group tomorrow ''. Yep it was Geddy Lee.
A very nice fellow and a good player I must say. Generally half the times the practice is evolving toward the '' show me what you can do maestro '' . This time was no exception and at the end of the hour he asked for it. Let me just say that he found out that tennis can be a risky business....

Suddenly it seems my Geddy Lee story, where I beat the hell of him on a tennis court (BTW he asked for it), is incredibly pale...

I might have to go to that. I know one of the guys in Oblivion Son (....)
Dont tell me it's one of the Happy the Man original members....
Anyway I hope you'll be able to find tickets at a reasonable price.

I think the problem with montreal is simple lack of patience.

Wow, Carbonneau fired and Gainey back behind the bench. I didn't see that one coming.
When did you stop living in montreal....
Gainey is part B of the same problem. For the sake of logic he should resign but nooooo......he waited ( and waited ) for an easy sequence in front of him before doing the dirty job.
With a lot of luck ''smiling Bob'' will follow Carbonneau at the end of the season.

Gainey had made promises about a winning team five years ago to celebrate this special year....

I sent an iPod at Colorware not too long ago and was a bit surprise by the lack of refinement the paint was showing. On the other hand they are offering to do your own personal choice. So it can be ask something like:
Please do a ''classy job'' with my audio gear I'm not street racing with it...

Seems we have a split decision...
Many thanks. It's clearer now and anyway I choose it seems I'll end up with a few more $ in my pocket just in case.......Van Der Graaf is visiting us this summer in Qu

Not long ago I made public my intention to buy an iMac (using it with a Ack Dack) in the near future. I was waiting for the new upgraded iMac and hoping for a non-glossy option....
In short, I was once again annoyed beyond words by Apple marketing strategy. Looking for a plan ''B'' I was even more infuriated by the decision of letting go of the Cinema Display HD 20'' the same day.
So the following day the new Mini was released I bought (it was a fun experience to find one still available on the net...) another 20'' Display.
Since obviously I wont buy a glossy iMac I'm looking now for a Mini to go along my new non-glossy monitor.
I have 2 questions.
For music purpose (and maybe a little bit of simple Wordprocessing at the same time) is it:
1) an obligation to change the 5400 rpm HD for a 7200 rpm HD?
and
2) an obligation to go from 2g to 4g memory?
Thanks in advance,

And yes I used Colorware service in the past and maybe I'll go for the matching silver option as well...

The glass design could be easily improved by a simple change:
The upper unit could bring it's glass in front like the lower unit and have a little curve at the top end. That's it.
And yes black is essential....
