Restoration

Oh My

This is actually fun. I went to the basement and dragged up three old computers from which I am piecing together my past computer life.  In the process I am updating Windows XP, which I will use with  Linux Mint as soon as my new 3T hard drive is delivered tomorrow. What I have are a pretty collections of XP tweaks and XP ca tools.  I also have retrieved most of my picture files, through 1999 anyway.  And how about Limbaugh calling the GOP a corrupt organization! Giddyup!

With the tactics that the republican party used in Mississippi, they could be named in a RICO suit along with the 'crat party.

The GOP IS a corrupt organization. That is nothing new boss. I feel your computer pain. I have had issues lately on my desktop with it shutting down (blue screen of death) and I also think it was due to bad code in ASC - now gone. So far no more issues. I do have it on my laptop with no issues but, that may be an illusion. Hope you get the dinosaurs resurrected. I tried to resurrect an old XP machine and it didn't have the guts to run Windows 7 so it was not practicable for my network needs. I had wanted to use the 500 GB hard drive for pictures and a DVR. I have cut the cord - no cable (FIOS is a blood sucking hog) and installed OOMA on the remaining FIOS Internet.

We have kept Netflix and am now watching the original Atlas Shrugged as I type. Taylor Schilling is the best Dagny Taggart (the second is a poor imitator) and she is sorely missed. I note Ron Paul and Glenn Beck have bit parts in the third installment. My wife complains that I ramble on about numerous topics all at the same time.....is that bad?

Just got myself a new iMac and realized that Apple has eliminated the built-in optical drive. It took some getting used to when the disc drives were first eliminated but I'm going to buy an external drive because I can't see not being able to stick a disc of some kind into my 'puter.
I hope your Frankensteining goes swimmingly!

Let's not forget Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos."

Gander:Goose. Oxen being gored.

I'm loving LinuxMint17 but I just figured out I probably need a powered USB hub. My USB keyboard wouldn't work with my Kindle plugged in and charging.

Let's not, because "OC" was Repub action against Democs.

Mississippi was Repub action against Repubs.

Moron.

"Mississippi was Repub action against Repubs."

I'd say it was an elitist transnational progressive action against Real Americans.
