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 !

I know how to make my own also, very easy. Get the little cups that look like cupcake cups, melt chocolate chips in micro till smooth pour a little in cups put a half of a caramel in the chocolate melt a little more in micro and add what ever kind of nuts you like, cheapest is peanuts then cover with more melted chocolate and you have turtles. Keep them in the frig or freezer or they will melt.

Thank you! Anything computer wise that I can do by myself (with the help of friends) is great. Certainly wouldn't have gotten this far without the help of my FF buddies!! and double !! Here I used to work in television - but once you purchase a product, it is already outdated. Technology is going way beyond what one could fathom and I am so very far behind.
Well we don't have to be cutting edge to survive. Just as long as we keep our eyes and ears open and make some technological progress along the way, we'll do okay. I worked in higher ed publishing for alot of years and it is unbelievable how the tools or education are changing to keep up with the young people of today.

Did you already get it? I don't see an extra pocket for charger, mouse, etc. Does it have one?
Yes I did -- in the main picture, the right side seam on the front (towards the back in the pic) opens with a zipper.

I think I heard about that a while ago. Did it have to do with weather conditions and poor crops?

Think it would fit the charger and a mouse? How about a slim dvr drive to boot?

I might just get a sleeve and carry the other stuff in my suitcase, as Jules mentioned. I'm going to go to some stores and look around for ideas. I always debate a lot with myself before I buy most things.

Quote from bornblondeey :
IMPORTANT - I called Samsung as you asked. But I first wanted to insert my SD card so I sounded a little bit what I was talking about. This is what happened and I explained to the rep as it occurred. With the netbook off, I inserted the card, When it booted, it showed my C, D and F drives, recognizing there was a F card (drive). It then said, format it. I clicked on format and it said windows cannot format - Am I certain that this is not a read only disk (I think that is what it said). Told him. He had me check that the little white slide on the side of the card was not locked; it was not. I then reinserted it while the netbook was on and when I clicked on the F drive, it said to insert it (it WAS in there). So it reacted differently if the card was already inserted before I turned it on and when I inserted it. Said it has nothing to do with BIOS. He sent a priority message to their team and will email me at my AOL email. Said it will take a few days perhaps. BUT, when I get it on AOL, I know how to copy and paste within AOL, but how do I get it over to my Firefox screen if it is important for everyone to see? If it is just instructions, I can write it down and then type it on SD, but if it is a patch, what will I do. Is this what is happening to everyone with the netbook? Do other cards work (is it just this card)?
Cool, thanks. You should just be able to copy and paste (ctrl-C/ctrl-V) between programs.

As far as I can determine everyone is having the problem. At least one person said they were able to use a 4gb SDHC card and it worked. Many have said that the 8gb card works in other devices. And a few folks have said that regular SD cards (less than 2gb) work fine in the netbook. As far as I know everyone has had this issue using Windows 7 (I don't think anyone has tried it under XP), except for me, I tried it with Ubuntu Linux and have the same issue, sees the card, says it needs to be formatted, can't format it.

yep
Can of rotel can of Del Monte petite cut tomatoes (drained) slice up some oninons and add lemon juice. Don't use the generic petite tomatoes i tried them and bad. I use the mild rotel and still spicey, but if you like real spicy use the regular rotel, and I just use the plastic container of lemon unless you can get the real lemons cheaper.
