LunarMist, You take your chances with the weather in the Rockies and there has been unseasonable rain and snow this year. On one of my trips the lakes were still frozen in the first week of June. On another trip in the first week of September I encountered a snow storm at Lake Louise. In...

LunarMist, it has been a long time since I contributed to Storage Forum, but your enquiry is something I know about. I drive from Los Angeles to Cranbrook, B. C., just north of the western corner of Montana, once or twice a year. I leave in the morning and arrive at Cranbrook early evening of...

I have been using a Kinesis keyboard for several years. It offers a choice of a Qwerty or Dvorak layout. I used Dvorak for a while when I first purchased the keyboard, but when I was forced to use a Qwerty layout I had a real problem. I could easily adapt to the slightly different stagger of...

I thank all of you for your suggestions. Since I have four free computer bays and little desktop space I am interested in an internal solution to my problem. I did not make this clear in my post. I like best the WinXP provision for shutting down a secondary drive, but since I am still using...

I am about to install a high capacity hard drive strictly for storing True Image backups. I would like to power up the hard drive only when I need it. Do any of you have suggestions how this might be done? Are front panel switches available that can engage a hard drive? I remember reading...

The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion. The selfishness of the women seeking abortion and the biased compassion of those providing the service is overwhelming. In its entirety the article fails to mention the moral rights of the children who are cast aside. Given the choice, all of them would...

Here is an article I received by email. I apologize for its length but It registers for me. I hope it registers for most of the members of this web-site, but I have my doubts. Joe. Two amazing things about the events in New Orleans this past week were 1) why would people in such misery just...

OT to timwhit: How sad! Pasta, with its hundreds of shapes and thousands of sauces and accompaniments, is one of the world's major culinary inventions. It is inconceivable to me that at this point in your life you have never experienced at least one good plate of pasta. Are you familiar with...

timwhit, the only sense I could draw from your entry was that you were facetiously using the plural form of pasta, hence I thought that you needed correction. Now I am confused. What is your connection between english "paste" and pasta? I know that over-cooked pasta can taste like paste...

ddrueding, a very sad story. Other than your table winnings, I hope something positive developed before you left Las Vegas. OT for timwhit: An Italian grammar lesson for you--- la pasta: dough le paste: collection of doughs In the Italian Food Industry--- la pasta, gli spaghetti, i...

"Splash," "Explorer," "Platform," "Dïscfärm," "Computer Generated Baby," "Onomatopoeic," "GIANT," "iGary," "Corvair," and ". NUT" I know that you are only concerned with the physical universe. My preoccupation is with the bigger question: “What contains the universe if the universe is...

"...in a universe of known volume." This statement triggers a little venture into theology. I believe in a God who does not know time. By premise He is unchangeable in His omnipotence. Therefore, His single act of creation is ongoing in our time-limited experience. This known volume, if we...

Thanks Buck and ddrueding for drawing my attention to those sites. The photographs are mind-blowing!. I forwarded the sites to an old friend who is webmaster of the following: http://www.haltoncrimestoppers.com/ip_arcfet.html He has featured the Max Lyon site in his newsletter. Joe.

At 27 years and 7 months at my present address I beat you JTR1962. I like my location, I spend most of my time here and the mortgage is paid off. Joe

CityK, thanks for bringing me up to date on Canada’s economic boomlet. I hope this means that Canada can do a better job in controlling its immigration. I also have plenty of experience with Canada’s health care system because of catastrophic illness in my Canadian family. It is a system...
