a video of The One Armed Man(tm) tying knots might be interestingIt seems armless enough to me.-MilesAhead (May 18, 2015, 05:29 AM)

Nice! I was just thinking recently that it would be nice to learn a few basic knots.Why knot ?-mouser (May 17, 2015, 06:10 AM)
You never know, it could be station drift, or maybe he's been switched to another frequency, or fallen foul of one of those Russian jamming signals, or gone thetan, or something.Might even have turned turtle.
There's a whole spectrum of possibilities for us to meditate upon.-IainB (May 12, 2015, 09:56 AM)
My usually reliable esata connection for external drives started not working, as in, the drive wasn't being detected at all.FWIW, when that happened to me I found that Windows updates had changed the driver. If you google around some, and if that's your problem, you'll find the steps to fix it. Those steps were a bit more convoluted than I'd have expected but I fixed the problem on two different machines. Looking back, quickly, I see that it was related to "JMB36X_WinDrv_R1.17.65_WHQL_eSATA.zip". HTH-superboyac (May 11, 2015, 10:58 AM)
You get an error that Macrium cannot create snapshot.I had that a couple of/few years back. At the time the current Norton Ghost was still on the machine. Macrium cleared it up quite quickly.-MilesAhead (May 07, 2015, 02:49 PM)
There's a literalist in every crowd. When another drinker challenged the guy to go toe to toe he put his foot in his mouth I'd say.What a heel!-MilesAhead (April 25, 2015, 02:26 PM)
While for the most part I stick with my now 0 nicotine eCig, I do still occasionally (at the end of ruff days...) sneak out for one of the wife's cigarettes. At which point the absolute last thing I want to even see is anything electronic...unless we're about to play how high will this MF'er bounce..Pardon me for saying so but I think you may have the wrong idea. Aren't your wife's cigarettes meant to get you high, not elevate the device?-Stoic Joker (May 05, 2015, 06:51 AM)

5 1/4" floppy sounds much easier than trying that surgery on a 3.5" plastic jobber.-MilesAhead (April 30, 2015, 08:34 AM)
Hey, the thermometer was at $14993 and I donated $7, but now it's only $14999! I forgot to take the paypal cut into account... :-(Bad luck, it would have been an extra-good feeling to have been the $15k man. Never mind, I bet your donation will cause someone else to have a go.-x16wda (April 25, 2015, 03:31 PM)

Now I just need to create a legend which monkey signifies which software.If you use three you'll be completely free from evil. Also, since you'll be blind, deaf, and dumb you can sell off that laptop and relax.-MilesAhead (April 18, 2015, 06:43 AM)
I've been dithering about upgrading since January. I have two Pro licenses for version 5.x and am debating whether or not the upgrade is worth it? The few reviews that I've read on line seem to imply that there isn't much to be gained from upgrading 5->6 beyond faster startup times. Can anyone who's tried both comment?

I'm afraid he'll insist I learn to flip it. Anything larger than a one bedroom condo I'd probably throw my back out.-MilesAhead (April 05, 2015, 08:44 AM)
