@arail1 said: Thanks Jeff. 10.5 will still be a good upgrade for him. I have lots of machines at my desk and at home and one of my test machines is a Powerbook G4 laptop running 10.4 Tiger. Sometimes I'll test something on that computer and forget to switch back over to a primary machine! Raw computing power aside, it works fantastically. I think you'll be very happy with Leopard on a PPC G4.

The cost of the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics was just finally paid for last year, by the taxpayers of Montreal. It cost another $175,000,000.00 to put a leaky-retractable-roof on the Stadium after the Olympics. When you fly into Montreal you cant miss this dilapidated eye sore rising amongst the otherwise pristine skyline. A decaying concrete Dinosaur structure is all that remains. Its going to be interesting whats going to happen to all the poor people that live just 3 blocks up the mountain side from Rio's prime million dollar real estate?

Have a look at the Hardware Speed Test topic (and/or even take the test on your computer). Many members posted their specs there for comparison with the test.

I only listen to The Smiths and Joy Division whilst working.

In New York - Chinatown, especially the far eastern section which is more connected to mainland China than it is to mainland USA. Chelsea art galleries. Wander around the lower east side and the east side of Soho (beyond Lafayette into the neighborhood which used to be Little Italy) The store Evolution in Soho (skeletons, fossilized snakes, spiders, meteor fragments, etc.) MOMA and the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Natural History The top of the Empire State Building JandR in lower Manhattan for computer stuff The Apple store across from the Plaza Hotel Jacques Torres chocolates on Hudson St Johns Pizzeria on Bleecker Peter Luger's steakhouse in Brooklyn (if you can spend approx. $100 per person) Central Park

Thanks Pbacot, the GoCycle has a luggage arm that the above case is attached to, looks quite good but the aluminum case is a little pricey. I think the GoCycle design team slipped up when they designed the neat carry case for the bike strictly as such! They could have designed a dual purpose case, both for carrying the folded bike also for use as a luggage case. Thanks to the link Stephen. If you are finding the Irish weather a bit wet, how about a Veltop? http://www.veltop.eu/index.php?produit_veltop_en A bit pricy and I wonder about the wet and WINDY weather, still if the wind was behind, that would be fine [image: Ga76_RearLuggageArmampCase.jpg]

pulled this off of 3d warehouse as a little test. it's about 1.5 mins ish. [image: cMQ0_default.png] didn't think that was too bad. pav

Yeah, I saw a Comcast feature this evening, wow!! the graphics are over the top, hope it's not all bling and no guts, as I'm a huge disaster flick fan.

I've use this http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Disk-Heal.shtml when I've had disk ID problems - it might help ?

LOL - I actually made deep fried Mars Bars for an international food buffet party a few years ago. I had no idea how to make batter back then, so I went to my local (Swedish) supermarket, bought a handful of Mars Bars and a packet of tempura batter, sliced the Mars Bars up, coated them in the batter and fried them. I only made them as a novelty anyway so on tasting the horrendous results I thought I may as well put them out for anyone daft/brave enough to try them- bizarrely the plate was empty in no time, one French-Canadian guy came back for seconds saying he had been skeptical, but he really liked it. Here's the thing- I suspect "real" deep fried Mars Bars are made with plain batter- water and flour. The just-add-water Japanese tempura batter I'd bought was flavoured with, among other things.... garlic. They tasted absolutely disgusting. BTW, the whole deep fried Mars Bars thing is virtually an urban legend, stemming from one chip shop making them at the request of some school kids. I have seen them listed on the "menus" of a couple of chip shops, but I don't think I know a single person who ever tried one. It's more of an in-joke than something anyone actually orders. @linea said: LOL! When was the last time you were in an English pub or restaurant? The mid 70's?! Food in England is so diverse now. Microwave Lasagne anybody? Haha, my point is an Englishman would find it no harder to find great food in Scotland than a Scotman would in England, especially if you take into account that England's population is 10 times that of Scotland. There are few meals anywhere which can beat the satisfaction of tucking into a proper Yorkshire Sunday roast beef dinner with all the trimmings. I just got back from Berlin and, while German traditional cuisine is hardly world-renowned, modern Germans' tastes are so well developed that I haven't eaten so well in a long long time. In fact the only country I've been to where I couldn't find a single decent restaurant was the Czech Republic (and service with smile seemed to be an alien concept), but that was over 10 years ago. OK, I'll get down off my soap box now, but that's got me thinking, it's about time I did a Sunday roast!

i just did the big update. forum, blog, warehouse, guestbook, members, my models...What am i saying...You should check it out yourself.

Dont bother about the wiki. I finaly have a site that is easy to navigate. olliewollie.webs.com Have a look (olliewollie)=My Nickname. I may use this site in the future for other things.

I've posted about our app before, but if you want to see the Monopoly Competition buildings that are in Google Earth (KMZ) format on your iPhone, you can do so with NaviCAD (http://www.navicad.com). Just type in "monopolycompetition09" in the search interface and tap a result. The competition models look very good in NaviCAD. Note that NaviCAD is only a viewing/navigating app. Any suggestions are welcome--send an email to feedback@navicad.com. thanks, Chuck (one of the NaviCAD developers)

@pixero said: I was thinking in the same lines. But still...it's not like Google will just make the most popular of the suggested ideas, right? Not at all. They are interested in opinions, but Google has their own agenda for SketchUp, too.

Now I know why you call yourself 'EarthMover'

After the last elections where the vote was clearly stolen by means of corruption, cheating and widespread intimidation I guess most compassionate people world wide would really like to see something happen, however sanctions will only hurt the innocent folks who are trapped in this predicament. I know a little about sanctions as growing up in South Africa I lived through many years of it, the fat cats were not affected, small business and consumers were. As far as Israel goes, I must admit that I'm very surprised at the US media for not exposing the 455 new Jewish settlements that has been authorised in the beginning of the month which clearly goes against a UN resolution to halt new settlements on disputed and Palestinian lands. I know it's all politics and such a story will always be hushed here in the states as big business and media have agendas unknown to myself. I am not taking sides in this dispute as I have many great Iranian and Jewish friends that have expressed the real day to day face of this struggle, be it land and security in Israel or be it control, corruption and isolationism in Iran, I would just like to see the facts and the truths be broadcast evenly and without bias, and not opinion. Too bad Michael Jackson crap inspires the US markets more than real world affairs.

Dracula as I have never seen him. Funny. P.S. That fungus head character is cool!

Meh! Not a patch on this version. [flash=425,344:340au8ra]http://www.youtube.com/v/fvrFcpeZQ2g&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash:340au8ra]
