Hey Idster..... I ended up spending 5 hours last night putting in an ethernet card so I could hook up a DSL line because the assh*le I bought the card from sent me no driver, so I had to reconnect the modem to go to the manufacturers webpage to find a goddamned driver, and finally got the goddamned DSL running at 2 am. So now my internet connection is a little faster. BFD. Now, I have to go to work (because I didn't buy enough fu$king QCOM)... First, if you had any brains of your own (you know, rather than picking out the brains of your subjects, er patients, and then billing them to boot), you would have at least 2 computers at home, with at least 2 phone lines, so that you can quickly download from one line while working on the other. Second, you didn't buy enough qcom, because of your reluctance to dump Apple. Someday you'll learn, you have to let go of the old love affairs. CS

JDB, that was, without a doubt, the grouchiest, bitchingest, grumpiest post I have seen here. Perhaps we should have "nights of the outhouse" here. If we did, you would be nighted as "Sir John". Keep up the bad work.

>> First of all, you can take your little greek handle somewhere else. We don't go for that stuff over here. In case you didn't realize it, Dr. Id is your little greek handle. >> This IS NOT a place for "polite and gracious. Would you mind explaining that to Kumar and Sham? Most of their posts would fit better on the Miss Manners thread. Maybe we should turn this into a monitored thread and bar males who can't prove they have symptoms of prostate enlargement from trying to play curmudgeon. >> This market sucks. I didn't sleep much BS. That's because of your active (and indiscriminate) sex life. >> I ended up spending 5 hours last night putting in an ethernet card A 5 minute job for anyone with a brain. >> Now, I have to go to work Hope the commute isn't too bad <lol>. >> I'm going to Vegas with a bunch of idiots where I wont sleep much, spend a lot of money for a stupid acrobat show, and lose more money. FWIW I saw Cirque in San Jose last Sunday, and it was worth every penny and more. Of course, I didn't have to pay Las Vegas rip off prices like you weenies will. cuf
