Darn you, that was what I was going to suggest... :p I'm assuming you were joking, as I would have been? That stuff, from what I've heard of the deep south, is nigh on impossible to kill...

I'm of the impression that most computer parts nowadays are just plug-and-play. If I'm wrong, please quickly disabuse me of the notion... I'm starting to wonder if I can get a decent computer (laptop preferred, but a thin tower/box with a BIG flatscreen monitor would be okay) by building it...

I recently (finally!) received GURPS 4E. In reading it, the speak/read languages thing are no long skills (i.e., open-ended), but are rather advantages (i.e., you can buy up to a certain level). Two character points gets you "broken," four character points gets you "accented," and six...

The guy who's selling my old collection on eBay (whose name I will not mention, as he's a member of EN World) absconded with about 50% of it. That's probably about $2,000 worth of stuff for free. But que sera sera. Should have gone with (name of another EN Worlder deleted). He may have...

I do believe I'm in that sort of situation right now. A woman that I dated, which didn't work out, now has about $90 worth of my stuff (a DVD and a school textbook). I've been trying for two months to get them back, but she keeps putting me off. All I want is my damn stuff, then she can go...

Yeah, like that episode of BtVS, where Xander gets split into two, and everyone loves Confident Xander. Only don't bring that up in conversations with chicks... :)

So did everyone forget Comic Book Guy, from the episode where Principal Skinner ditches Ms. Kraubauple (sp?) at the altar? Now THERE was a Klingon...

What's IBM's seller ID? The problem I've been having with overstock.com is that they don't list the details of the computers. Given we're dealing with laptops here, there is limited upgradeability and probably not much room for changing stuff in and out. I've puttered along with a computer...

Bugger all. It took 5 minutes to even pull up login.yahoo.com. And after another 7 minutes of waiting for my homepage (my.yahoo.com) to pull up, I gave up. Are you guys yanking my chain, or is this just a regional thing? I thought Yahoo was based in the San Jose, CA, region? (Or was that...

I can get into the TV listings barely. But I can't log in to my 'gateway' page. So I can't check all the news, read my favorite comic strips, find out what's on at the local movie theaters, and so on. :( I can even download my email, from the accounts linked to my sbcglobal.net account. But...

I've been unable to get onto Yahoo for almost 24 hours. Have "hackers" staged another denial of service attack? :(

The reason I am not sending out invites is because, once you send out the invite, it takes a while to get a new one. If someone emails me, I'll send them one. Otherwise, I'm not sending one out unasked... (Not that anyone is clamoring to get the invite, otherwise...)

Unfortunately, my "bookstore" is amazon.com. And while many books are now available for lite "browsing" online (i.e., you can read a lot of the text, but not all), it just isn't the same. :)

I am supplying addresses: napamathguy @ yahoo . com

I still have four available, as well. @ GentleGiant: You can set up the email address however you like. One of my gmail accounts is kevin.(lastname)@gmail.com, for instance. So set it up however you like... Ah, for the good old days, when a person could sell a gmail invite for loads of...

Yeah, I would be using it to run: Windows XP Pro Microsoft Office Pro 2000 Microsoft Office Pro XP (yeah, both of them; I have full versions of each--legal ones, even :p) Acrobat Reader (I'm big into buying PDFs of old TSR/WOTC stuff) As for fun stuff: Civ 3 (and Conquest) Medieval: Total...

My boss, knowing that I have a MOUS in Access, wants me to take over some of the admin duties on some databases we have. The trouble is, there's not much in the way of training locally. So does anyone know of a good book that can take a user from the Microsoft Office User Specialist (core...

My computer, which I originally bought as a stopgap after my Win-ME computer died (curse Bill Gates!), isn't doing so well. I plan on keeping it as my primary internet (and iTunes, and CD burning, and other stuff...) computer, but I need something better if I want to run games. And I can't...

STL = Share the Love :p

I've got two bounced emails on my latest STL (which FINALLY started working for me again...). So, I'm planning on deleting my list, and starting from scratch. Who's maintaining the list? For some dumb reason, Amazon won't let you figure out WHICH of your STL friends are no longer valid, so I...
