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 !

This just popped up in my deal alerts -- here is a RAM upgrade for $22 shipped, and no rebates to worry about.

I don't know anything about the antivirus, but even ignoring that, its a fairly good deal.

Anyone try loading Windows 7 Ultimate on the netbook yet? I have a spare copy and would rather run that than 7 starter.
My roomie doesn't like the starter, so told me to upgrade, but I have no clue what ultimate is!! I am an accountant, so just need the basics!!

I know the feeling!! When I ask my roomie for advice, he makes it sound like I am asking for his first born, and doesn't want to be bothered!! So I just say "That is ok, I will ask my friends on SD!!"
And you, my friend, have been very supportive. Do you ever frequent another forum? I need to rep you from times past.

If I am on other threads, it is usually because I am following Mlx3 or CW to sweeps and other things!! I don't care about reps!! I just care about our family, and it really does feel like one!

I hope someone repies if this is a good deal. I am stupid about this stuff, and love the feedback on this forum!! Just got my netbook yesterday, so my question is this: Should I buy this, or wait?? $2 or $4 dollars isn't a big deal if this is a good upgrade for the netbook!

Is it a '66 or '67? bounce

We have a '66 with a 383 4bbl....she came from Hawaii and we named her "Maui Wowie" I flippin LOVE the body lines, full length console, flip down rear seats...I could go on for hours!!!drool

It's great to know there are others out there that care for and keep these fine autos out on the road!!Wink
Its a 66, 383 4bbl, engines been rebuilt, bored out .030, put medium lift crane cam in her. The full length console with 4 bucket type seats are definitely unique. Its great now that between year one inc and e-bay you can obtain any part imaganable (if you can afford it.) Big Grin
What color is yours? Mine came from Calfornia (Lompoc-Santa Maria are)so no rust issues.

Windows just pops up an error that the disc needs to be formatted, then fails in both quick and full formats for FAT32 and NTFS. Windows Drive Explorer and low-level format tools do not show any manufacturer info and then when they fail, they either say that the drive is write-protected or there is no media in the drive.
I got the manufacturer, it's Alcor Micro.

It is absolutely gorgeous, but I am waiting for a 67 Baracuda!! But, I also have to say that my favorite car I had was a 70 Cutlass Supreme, cherry red with white vinyl top!! Oh boy, memories are coming back! It sure made my Fiat Sport Spider Convertible look like a piece of crap!! Wow, I love good cars!

This may sound like gibberish, but it was said 2G, but someone said they contacted Samsung and they don't have the specs on this new model, with upgraded processor, may be 4G. I mentioned this to my roomie this morning, and he said no! Something about 322 or 332 (whatever that is) won't support 4G. So I am going with a 2G upgrade!!

I could have eaten one this morning and it's now lunch time. I'll probably have to wait weeks to get them.
