  1. Depends on the RV It's not an RV ! Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet
  2. So what you're saying is that i'm screwed? (or more accurately not.) Should have consulted the book before buying! Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet
  3. I hadn't considered that. I have access to some in dustrial grade rubber flooring 5/8' thick oil/gas proof etc. I primarily bought the truck to tow a lage trailer (55' over 10,000 lbs) I just came back from a whirlwind tour of L.A.. I probably should have mentioned the 5th wheel hitch. I would have to cut the liner to fit the in bed rails. The spary in could simply be masked. but I could also just cut the rubber out around them.

  5. Well, I just got my first Pick-up. (I know ) (It seems that women just weren't responding to sports cars so I thought i'd take a page from Aggie Dave's vehicular aphrodisiac book, so to speak) But, I digress, my question is Bed liners? Plastic inserts or spray in. I intend to keep this for awhile. (yup, purchased not leased).

  6. You need to provide more info. What do you want to do with this system? Business apps? Games? Video editing? Do you "Really" need portability? (A desktop will always give you a better display for equivalent $$$) LCDs suck for high frame rates, video and/or games, compared to a CRT or 2 (Dual headed display adapters rock). As for architecture, look to AMD64, either it Athlon64 or Opteron. It is a brand new architecture and provides a future for growth. P4 and K7 are on their last legs.

  11. Seeing as we're doing manufactures' appreciation in Talkback, I thought I would mention the amazing service I received from Lara at Alti-2. I sent my Neptune in (couldn't get it to update, probably my fault too) for service. They reflashed the microcode and sent it back PDQ and sent me a really cool T-Shirt. (Thanks
  12. Sharks eat humans thus are higher above us in your 'food chain'. Would you be happy throwing a human to a shark? No. Deal with it. No, but i'll bet there's a few skydivers Chaoskitty would like to feed to Jaws!

  15. I'm currently typing this on a Dual Opteron running Windows XP PRO. AMD64 rules for several reasons, not the least of which is that it is a new platform with room to upgrade. Athlon XP is a great chip, but at the end of it's life cycle. Pentium 4 (whichever socket or chipset they're flogging this week) is also at the end of it's life cycle. Intel has announced their support for 64 bit x86 (although they won't pubicly give AMD recognition) The other is that your current Windows XP (32 bit) will suffer no performance hit running on AMD54 and you can upgrade your OS to 64bit whenever you feel the driver and application support is sufficient. (this will happen more quickly now that Intel has followed AMD's lead. Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet

  17. [brain voice] Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking? [/brain voice] [pinky voice] I think so Brain, but where are we going to get a flock of sheep and a case of Rolling Rock at this time?

  18. Actually, After reading this, i would suggest that Wendy is probably the quintessential definition of the ANTI-SOCCER MOM (even if she does drive the "SCALED-DOWN VERSION OF A FULL-SIZED VAN") I think there may be an opportunity for a bumper sticker there for someone that is so motivated (something like "the next person that calls me a soccer mom gets shoved out of the plane by me !") Seriously, Great work everyone that participated. I've never met Bo & Paula, but by listening to the stories of the people that jumped and were trained there, it sounds a lot like the DZ that I'm training at. I tried to imagine what it would be like if this happened there. Again, Good Work and glad you had some fun.

  19. How did you like the 1100XX? Aparently Honda is going to replace it with a new version at 1300, It sort of sounds like sport touring really fast. Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet
  20. Started on a 1977 Honda CB400-F SuperSport Moved up to a BMW R90S (imported from Germany - High compression Engine). Went back to Honda with a CB900-F SuperSport. I have been bikeless now for about 8 years. Am looking for new ride. Either CBR1000RR or RC51 Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet

    Could be worse, Could say "ONTARIO, CANADA" Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet
  24. I also said I don't want to use my license. There's too many Canadians down here anyway. Since when can you ever have enough Canadians? Don't "you" people need someone to blame things on ?

  25. Nice conversational Land Mine ! It's right up there with the other things women do to screw with guy's rational thought ([Homer Voice]D'oh ! She said not to get anything, so, I didn't get her anything.[/Homer Voice] Not that she won't remember till the end of time and remind me about it whenever convenient.) You know the things like "Does this Jump Suit make me look fat ?" or "Do you think my Fall Rate has increased?" The smart move is do something completely out of character (also really nice) for you. The pitfall is that she may come to expect you to be more spontaneous all the time. Oh well drastic times (Valentine's Day) call for drastic measures.
