Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

You're lucky it was all there! Everyone who has received the ashtray & the box was open, the top was missing.

Hey, did you see my last post to you...with the Betty Boop animated avatar for your wife?
Does she like it? What's her user name so I can look for her here?

Ok, re-sized it & took out a bunch of frames....it was way bigger than SD size limits.
This one should work, but since it's missing half the frames, it's not quite the same as the original.
Thank you.UR the bomb

LMAOI started showing teeth when I was trying to help some people with the netbook & got a bunch of flack!

FYI - they merged my previous new post with a somewhat unfriendly oldtimer's and probably moved my reps. What can ya do. Title on previous one is still incorrect. Maybe we'll find a new site where they are more friendly?

For those of you that don't like the touch panel for mouse control and are using a USB mouse, you'll want to follow these instructions so you don't use the built in mouse pad when you are trying to type.

click Start / click Control Panel
under Hardware and Sound, click View Devices and Printers
right-click the top one that has the picture of your netbook, select 4th option - "Mouse Settings"
A window pops up - select the far right tab that says "ELAN". Half way down is an option that says "Disable when external USB pointing device plug in"

I'm not sure why this wasn't a default setting, but this is the way to do it. I've heard several people who aren't fond of the built in mouse panel. This will turn it off if it detects that you have a USB mouse plugged in.

I'll post this over in the Snus forum, too... maybe I'll get some reps
Cool
The Mouse Touchpad can also be turned Off or ON by pressing the Fn + F10 keys when USB Mouse is plugged in.nod

Received my netbook yesterday. It turns out it is the Samsung N145 plus instead of the Samsung N150, which is just about identical and the same in every way. Most everyone says to upgrade to 2g of ram and it was a huge confusion if it was the DDR2 or DDR3 ram that needed to be upgraded. Samsung 24/7 Live support said all N145's were DDR2, still being skeptical I unscrewed and took the memory out to check, sure enough its DDR3 only; make sure you get the right DDR if you plan on upgrading and check the back if its the Samsung N145 or N150.
Looking it up online says DDR2 but I will have to open it myself to andcheck

Yeah, I've been reading the posts where you got flack for being helpful...totally blows! I didn't need the tech help since I didn't get a netbook, but repped ya' over in the snus thread anyway!

Figured they would merge the threads. But, don't think they can't move your reps....once you've earned them, they're yours!

How do you know the oldtimer original poster is unfriendly? Did they say something to you??? Better not have....that would be uncalled for! I was thinking of replying to the original post & suggesting the title be changed....but if they're a poop, don't think I'll bother.
I'll just keep posting sweeps....that'll piss of the grumpy oldtimers but good! LOL! There have been quite a few people who repped my sweeps posts that have said they like that I post something different.

Well, I got something from Marlboro, well one and a half things. I got the ashtray with the letter about the boots delay.

Then I got the bonus gift ashtray, except the box was open and the lid was missing Frown
I called Marlboro and they are going to send a replacement Smilie

While I had them on the phone I asked for the tracking number on the netbook. Seems it was supposed to be delivered yesterday but there was a note "Emergency conditions beyond UPS' control" whatever that means. It's also listed as supposed to be delivered today, so I'll see what happens. I don't know what the "emergency conditions" yesterday was so who knows?

I saw the crap earlier about the netbook questions!! I actually printed your instructions. If the mouse pad gets in my way, I now know how to disable it when I am using my mouse!! And I finally did get to rep you on the cottonelle thing, I think it was!! All I know is that they tell me I rep mlx3 too much and have to share with the rest of my friends!!

Ooh! That looks nice. Can't wait until I have that half. I guess I'll have an extra base part though.

That's exactly what happened to me too! Seems to me if you win a paltry $1.29 credit for a song download, you should be allowed to keep playing & try for something a bit bigger.

Don't let the cranky oldtimers keep you from finding & posting more sweeps! Personally, bad attitudes like that just spur me on to post more! LOL! We'll just take over that forum whether they like it or not!!!!!
