Mike, I have said this same thing for years! The mother of our grandkids is constantly cleaning the kids with wipes whenever they touch anything (Edit context) and this is precisely why they get sick as much as they do. I say let them eat dirt. No cake, just dirt.

@mike lucey said: Guys, I am old enough to remember how a fresh chicken really tasted. Roast chicken was on the Sunday Dinner Menu most of the time when I was young and I looked forward to it. The taste of what passes for chicken these days is just rubbish. I wonder if some local 'home grown' companies started REAL fried chicken outlets. Of course they would have to charge more for the chicken but it would be worth it. I imagine they could offer lesser amounts of fresh chicken for the same prices. This could work as we (Western World) all eat too much! Mike Better living through chemistry... [image: B3As_lipton.tp200x229.jpg]

there is indeed some good ones, although the dating ones can be a bit disconcerting at times

Scott, Contrary to the post dates on this thread, this thread is actually much, much older than 2008. After a forum software switch all old threads and posts had to be manually copied and pasted into new threads, there was an announcement about it at the time as it was the only way all the SCF members' hard work and contributions could be preserved after the switch. The Progecad version I was using at the time (prob 2005 or earlier) was clunky, the UI was very slow to respond to mouse movements (well, by slow I mean fractions of seconds) and support was definitely lacking (I seem to remember some of the help files were only in Italian and I'm not sure I ever got a reply from tech support regarding a problem I was having). I was running it on an HP zd7000, Intel Pentium 4 (2.66 GHz); 1.5Gb RAM, Nvidia FX Go5600 so I've no idea why there should be any problems. Nevertheless, I did download a more recent version of Progecad about a year or so ago and found it's performance and UI was greatly improved, certainly putting it on par with Autocad (and especially if Progecad avoid the bloatware nightmare and Vista style tabbed interface that Autodesk have created) I'd say Progecad was a much better product for a much lower price.... no fibbing! Regards,

it didnt pass

Sounds good. Well here's 2/3 of it....a combination of SketchUp and RPG. rpg.skp [image: OPIA_rpg_thumb.jpg]

Here on Prince Edward Island, a few hundred miles from Tinanne, the ice storm wasn't so bad. I woke up to a thin glaze of ice over everything and it was spitting rain. The temperature was on the rise. The kids schools had a one hour delay but the buses came and took them away. When I drove to work about 8:45am the roads were clear. So it really wasn't much of a ice storm for us this year. Last year we had a bad localized one. Several hundred power poles (old cedar ones) broke under the strain of all the ice-weighted wires. A few years ago (1998) was the one Modelhead refers to. It hit us hard but really screwed things up in Quebec where over 1000 high-tension power pylons crumpled. There's a wikipedia page about that storm here. It is reported to have killed at least 25 people. Regards, Ross

uhh i dont have enough time

Sounds awfully familiar: I saw a documentary a few months ago about an ossuary which surfaced in Israel which was alleged to contain the bones of Jesus' brother "James". After the initial excitement several experts eventually agreed that the carved text wasn't consistent with known text of the time and perhaps more damningly one of the people in its line of provenance was shown to have been invloved in fraud and antiquarian forgery before. Article from 2002 shortly after the discovery: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/inscribed-casket-may-contain-bones-of-jesuss-brother-594856.html Article from 2008 during the trial: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1850111,00.html?iid=digg_share I'm not sure what the eventual outcome was. The name's Christ, Jimmy Christ.

If there are no precious resources involved that threaten the global economy, the UN seem to be totally inert. They don't react to thugs until their atrocities have escalated to near cataclysmic proportions and can't be ignored anymore. Probably too much redtape. Radovan Karavich got away with it for years in Yugoslavia.

3 series? lol

i might try that

Monster smilie edit: its gone now, although it was very impressive. I dont think google releases any details of the number of licenses it sells, and it would be pretty hard to get details for the free licenses, as it would probably involve surveying lots of people to get an idea of the distribution of SU. So in answer to your question: No.
