For the record, when you get home from the weekly grocery shopping is not the best time to find out your fridge may be dead. We'll find out in the morning if it really is a goner or if it just wasn't sealed properly and had warmed up from that. I'm hoping it's the latter, then we just need to find a way to keep the cat from kicking it open when he's fleeing for his life with Max on his tail and we're set for a while.__________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.

good grief- the yahoo's who live behind apparently bought the entire stock of one of those roadside fireworks stands and love to set them off all at once!

Hey, my Mom said she's going to buy me an early birthday present, a Digital Camera. Any ideas on what I can ask for in the $150 - $250 range? I want a GOOD digital camera, that I can use for Ebay (if I decide to go use ebay again) and that I can take NICE pictures with. (wish I could get a digital camera/camcorder type thing, but I doubt they're in my price range. Another question, why is it, when there's a 30(ish) ft shark in the water, eating people, other people think it's a "good idea" to go into the water to take it's picture? Is it the same thing that makes people think it's a "good idea" to split up in horror movies?
And don't they do research before they make these pictures? They just had the shark CHEWING, sharks don't chew, they bite and swallow.

Jaz, I got this camera for my wife as a wedding gift. We used it for 2 weeks on our honeymoon in Europe and had no problems at all. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q30420/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Here are some others I was considering (the second one was on sale when I last checked, doesn't look to be now): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NK6J6Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NK8EWI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top --Evil __________________ Magic H/W List Magic Sale List WoW H/W List

Shockingly, the restaurant we went to was quite decked out for the 4th of July. The manager was walking around with one of those giant Uncle Sam top hats. It was a little scary. I can't think of anything more American than stuffing myself so full I feel ill. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air! Buy my stuff!

For megapixels, I think Sony (cybershot) and Cannon have great cameras, but software is minimal. They tend to me more expensive based on brand. For a camera that is decent, but has better software for editing photos I would recommend a Kodak Easyshare line. Modes drop off a bit, but are more beginner friendly. The thing about Megapixels is the more you get, the larger the photos will be in terms of size and quality. With pictures the main reason you want more megapixels, is less quality loss when you crop down photos and blow them up in size from my experience. If you don't plan on heavily editing photos, you may not need as many MP. Number of MP affects size of files both on your camera (how many pics you can take on a memory card) and your ability to send photos through emails. Some emails restrict size of files. I would think to get the most bang for your buck compare cameras in $200 range, and get a nice memory card to go with it.

...and she's gone back. we thought she'd stay away and crash with us until she bounced back [but not to him], so we gave her a house key. my folks say if she comes back, she's not gonna stay. she already got the "told ya so" speech, so- i give her a week before she comes back saying "this time, it's final"

What problems are you having? I just installed D2 and the LoD expansion on my Vista PC and had no issues at all. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please! Report rules violations. Remember the Auctions Board!

When I double click on the D2 LOD Icon, a thing called the "Program Compatibility Assistant" comes up and it says Check online to see if solutions are available from the Microsoft website. If solutions are found, Windows will automatically display a website that lists steps you can take. Diable II has a known compatibility issue with this version of Windowns. For an update that is compatible with this version of Windows, contact Blizzard. It has the options to Check for Solutions Online, Run Program or Cancel. When you click Run Program, I get a CD Rom drive error that says Please Verify that your Diablo II Expansion Disk is in your CD Rom drive then click on "retry" I wanna play.

Oh dear me, I just did as well. A few of my friends convinced me to rejoin and do 'uber runs'. I wasted several years of my life on D2, no point in stopping now. __________________ The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist.

Did you copy the files that need to be copied from the CD first? That's what the update says to do. quote: Originally posted by Greven53: Oh dear me, I just did as well. A few of my friends convinced me to rejoin and do 'uber runs'.I wasted several years of my life on D2, no point in stopping now.
I will come do uberruns as well. I get really bored starting at the beggining again. __________________ 7000ish posts == Should put me in the top 25 or so in Ontario.
