That was >< that close to being funny, and I know you're used to measuring small things so that's easy for you to understand.

kpeezy is ok in my book.

Jealousy does not become you.

Retirement be damned... Cardas Sennheiser Connectors.

Not painful at all, and yes it's an Add-on/Extension/whatevertheywantocallit. http://imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net/

There's an even better extension for FF that allows you to right-click + scroll to dynamically resize images. It's way cool in my book and called (appropriately enough) Image Zoom.

I'd like to have a say in those decisions. And Stephen, F being a man'f for that weekend man. Of course I'm going to put a Nugget Audio sign on my table...

I still can't figure out how to make the "

Surely there's a decimal point missing there. $22,000 for a laptop?

Not saying a thing till it arrives and works flawlessly, I've been entirely too cursed lately to do otherwise.

And here I am hoping that the laptop that I ordered today will finally mean that I get to start using a laptop extensively again!

Might I suggest shutting off the two panes on the sides of the screen? Right next to the Logout button at the top menu bar there are two +/- toggles that allow you to do this. I greatly prefer browsing with them shutoff to avoid the side-scroll nightmare.

Bummer, but it's also likely that you'd never notice the difference with the new processor.

Why not see if you can still return the Macbook you just bought?

Heh, my HF-1s be famous.

Heh, let's hope I don't need your advice about this one.

Eh, don't worry about it. Depending on what happens with the seller I'll more than likely just send it to Noble Electronics, a company founded by former EAD employees who still offer repair and upgrade services. Also, what f'ing kills me is that I elected to pay the guy with Paypal cash rather than use a CC figuring that he's a partner at a law firm, what are the odds he's going to mess around w/ something this trivial? So, hopefully that impression holds true and he'll come through. Oh, and on another lovely note I just discovered that the chassis is missing a foot. Seriously, what the fuck?

Thanks for the chuckle Steve, he's up in token's neck of the woods, like Perkinsfield, Ontario, eh?

Yeah, I finally tossed that thing a few months ago after yet another failed attempt to fix it. Maybe that's what this is all about, I churned up some of my old bad source karma?

Who knows, the issues are even worse than previously feared. I managed to get the drawer open, it has a SERIOUS tight spot, and even when I can get a CD in there it won't read it. There are no words.

I've opened it up, nothing obvious or stupid like a transport lock screw or anything like that. The tray comes out smoothly for about an inch, binds, stops and returns home. And Haj, the seller is conveniently on vacation but I sent an email anyway. I fully expect to get stuffed on this, that's just my luck with sources.

Well, looks like I might be buying the TEAC after all considering that the EAD just showed up and is pretty much non-fucking-functional. I mean I suppose that I could use it if I could find a way to slide the CD in without the drawer opening but that doesn't appeal to me all that much. So pissed, so fucking pissed.

And here I just wired up that 4-pin jack...

No no no, you're not supposed to sell anything, just buy!
