Re: ebay

Upon getting the email advertising a rebuilt computer I put two and two together and picked up the phone. It seems that I am among the people who will not shop laptops for me again. I understand that I was shorted the kickstand and that the memory was misallocated however I didn't appreciate the att...

Re: 100% Working NimbleX on the WebDT366

Re: 100% Working NimbleX on the WebDT366

LOL! As soon as I installed the last time around I got some funny after activity from my cdrom and at that point I had just agreed with Bogdan and was placing it in a box to ship it to him.

Re: Need a tester and quick who uses mythtv!!??

Cool, glad you did. Hope you get the invite soon.  I mean you can actually boot your image on their server and look at it testing through your browser! They even put up buttons for f1 - 12on the window! I didnt have java installed and I didnt test mine as a result (wow I should really do that!) but ...
