I learned AutoCAD R10 in school many many moons ago. I ended up buying the student version of R11 and used that for a LONG time.

I'd laugh if Jason got them to change the post counts for each page from 15 to 40 :)

Hehe, I have a few friends that are really deep into Bourbons, so I get to try all the good expensive ones. We've toured the distilleries in KY, done the taste samplings etc... I'd still rather just have a good ole Guinness.

Hehe, sometimes you have to get their friends involved. Peer pressure (the good kind) made me try a number of different foods I wouldn't have tried otherwise when I was growing up. I've worked with "kids" (at least to me, twenty somethings that only ate basic "kid" food) that would never eat...

Yup, I still have an open mind about them and will try new ones that I haven't had before in the hopes I find something that I like, but short of a couple flavoured whiskeys (which I don't really consider whiskey, because it's cheating) I haven't found any that I'd try more than the once or...

Yeah, I've tried a LOT. I've had numerous different types of Scotch as well as Bourbons, Whisk(e)y's etc... over the years, and I don't really like any of them. :o From expensive stuff like 21 year McCallan and Pappy Van Winkle etc... to not so expensive stuff, I just never have acquired a...

Hehehe, my old boss use to LOVE Dewars, he could afford much better Scotch, but kept drinking that stuff.

Hehe, I wish that was the case with wine and beer! Those, I have acquired a taste for and really enjoy. But I rarely drink it so it doesn't really cost me anything. I bought a case of wine about 8 years ago and I've still got a few bottles left even after giving some away and drinking a few...

I've had good cigars and great scotch and IMO they are just as bad as the bad ones hehe. I've never really been able to acquire the taste for them, which I guess is a good thing because it has kept me from spending $$$ on them.

It has been many years since I've had an Apple product (coincidentally right around 15 years), I really liked their hardware and the simplicity of their ecosystem, but I did not like being tied to iTunes to handle all of my media. On the PC side, I recently built a new HTPC because I wanted...

Love her!

Of course I live in one of the 3 stupid states they list they can't ship to :frowning2: Wishful thinking...

Good, then maybe this thread will slow down again...

Ohhh, I bet that was cool! I've never been to any of those. I've been to tons of dirt track and local drag races, half a dozen NASCAR races, 7 F1 races, a MotoGP race, and 30+ NHRA National events. Short of standing between a couple of top fuel cars leaving the starting line nothing was as...

In person those cars were AMAZING!!! Man I miss the V10 and V8 days of F1...

Or nails, like my my car audio amp of choice in the 90's "recommended"... I couldn't find the actual ad but I thought Big D Whiz had put one in one of his videos and found this...

Jason put out a new chapter. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/post-18069594

Wow, congratulations! I do miss a lot of things about living in SoCal, the cost of living is not one of them...

Wow, that's a SMOKIN' deal!!! What's the move talk? Has this been announced, or is it just a low key thing? Are you moving everything to TX, or just a different bigger SoCal facility?

Are they calling for snow?

Wow, it's crazy how fast this thread moves these days! For quite a while I'd check in once a week or so and it'd maybe move 10 pages, now it does that in a day. It's really sad that we cannot self police ourselves and that Jason has had to warn us twice since I'd last checked on the thread...

This really is no joke... I remember the first time I listened to this CD in my car in the early 90's and it did something no other recording had ever done before which was to bottom out my subs, and I didn't even have it cranked to 11, merely 9 hehe. This track can stress even the most robust...

I've been collecting Telarc CD's and albums since I discovered them in the early '90's. Looks like I'm currently at 57, but some of those are dupes because I have them on both CD and vinyl. Favorites are: The Firebird (I unexpectedly found a near mint album in a Salvation Army for 50 cents...

Yeah, when I started I really wanted tube amps, but I have fairly inefficient speakers (86 dB) and like to listen at higher volumes and some of the amps I was looking at that would meet those needs, use at least 4 KT88, KT120 or KT150's so the decision to go solid state for amps and tube for pre...

Ditto, IMO this gives you the best of both worlds. You get the tube sound but can power inefficient drivers with BIG Power that doesn't consume massive amounts of toobs...
