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 !

Is the micro office compatable with linux ? Confused (congrats on finally receiving your net book.)
Thanks. Couldn't tell you, I don't have any reason I need to use it so I plan on using LibreOffice (latest incarnation of OpenOffice). I think at least parts of previous versions could run under Wine but I don't know about the latest version.

Quote from SynGal :
That was my point - both of them work if you don't follow my instructions. If you prefer using a mouse, the touch pad gets in your way when you are just trying to type. Since you like having them both activated, then of course keep them both on. I saw many posts by people who didn't like the touch pad. I find it much easier to turn it off if I have a mouse, so the cursor doesn't move if my thumb bumps into the pad while typing. It's a personal preference, though, so do whatever you prefer. I was trying to help the people that already posted with complaints about the pad.
It's a major issue with the touchpad on the MBP when running W7, unfortunately. It constantly twitches the cursor while trying to type, I finally had to disable it. It's annoying that that is not the default. What sucks is that it doesn't fight the mouse or hinder typing when booted to OSX with a mouse enabled, so I know Apple could fix it in their Bootcamp drivers if they really wanted to. It's very easy to use both in OSX.

LOl! I found that one yesterday. Free GamesStop games for a year...that is one cool prize to win if you're a gamer!

Except that the taxes on it might be more than just buying the games 2 weeks after initial release, buying the used ones from people that just can't stand waiting more than an hour after release to have it ;-)

If I win it, I'm buying hardware with it - at least then I could sell enough to pay off the taxes and have my own left over.

Supposed to be $1.99 for one. I cancelled.... I like winning contests, and getting great deals. Not taking advantage of a typo.... conflicted now

If you run NoScript, TURN IT OFF for this site BEFORE you play the T shooter. I won on the first try (you're only allowed to win once), and logged in, which took, but when I went to enter "my friend's" email (my wife), NoScript srewed it up, and we lost out on hers.

Not that it matters, the T is useless to me - they don't let you pick a size, L only. Too big for my wife, WAY too small for me. Not sure what I'll do with it, probably give it away (Like the Bud55 T that showed up today, L too).
