RIP Smokey. I wish you the best for your next life.

Thanks for the advice guys. You all are right to go out and look at them personally. I will check out some IBM and Sony laptops let's see what works

Hi all, I'm looking for a laptop for work...I only want to do spreadsheets, ms word, browse the net via 56 kmodem and wifi, etc.. Id say the most heavy duty task it would do is Photoshop. Attach a scanner to it. I would like 2 hardrives, dvd-r/cd-r and Wi-Fi and good batt life...

PDA's done come with dedicated 1,2,3 and x, divide, + and - signs which I need. Need hardkeys. Don't care for qwetry on spreadsheet as I can type out the alphabets on the pc...what I need to do most is number manipulation.

Nope not in school. I sell precious metals. Which are sold my grams, ounce, lbs, kilos and gods know how many conversions i need to do. Often I need to convert something from grams to lbs, USD to Euro and a bunch of other technical stuff. Cost calculations. I would find all of this easier...

So does it mean that I shouldn't sharpen my Benchmade Griptilian knife to a razors edge? Or should I leave the leatherman as it is and keep the Benchmade real sharp .... I often use a knife to cut open packages or even cut fruit like apples ...

Just got myself a leatherman and the knife is pis poor in sharpness. Someone suggested crock sticks and a leather strop as the easiest way to sharpen the blades. Anyone recommend this method? Or should I try somethign else. I am looking for a simple way of sharpening.

The problem is genius is never understood in it's time. I would regret life if no one understood my genius in my time...nobody understands my vision...

Looks like I'm moving to California, Carlsbad for further studies. Can anyone who's been there/ lives there give me tips on how to get settled for the next 8 - 10 months. Anyone got any tips on where to get started on a place to stay? Anything I should look out for? Any suggestions...

My bathrooms quite big so: besides the usual soap, shampoo and conditioner. My fav bathroom accessory is the shower radio/cd player + shower telephone and shower telecom.

She loves animals, anything that is cute which is a lotof things for a woman . Umm that's all I know at the moment, she's quite mysterious. Ummm ... I do remember her liking pearls but that's way out of me range ... unless the devil pays me a visit for my soul....

Christmas is a special time for me and my significant other. I would like some advice on what to get her. Especially since I know her for so long No chocolates, spas, dinners please. That's old and I have done it for ages.
