Just be careful as I think you may lose anything saved on it (contacts, pics etc.)

Did you call tech support or stop by an Apple store? Maybe the store can help you?

I say get rid of the PC and get a Mac.

...on a serious note, have you looked on the Apple Discussion Forums? I've had pretty good luck there when trying to understand why something isn't working the way I expect it to.

I "learned" that not doing any math for two years can really hurt you.

You can't see her face, so no one will know its her. You should be fine.

Personally I think the Borat photo is a little more 'awkward'. It's still burnt in my retinas and memory.

To be fair, Sacha Baron Cohen deserves like 98% of the blame for that one.

And don't you worry. I've got an equally disturbing treat prepared for Veterans Day tomorrow...

So the next step is learning the diff between art neuvo (sp) and art deco. But don't bother; it will not effect your quality of life.

Im guessing that the former has something to do with modern art and the latter has something to with art made specifically for decoration, but like you suggest, I wont rattle my mind over it.

I ran out last month in the vert.


Called the old lady to bring me some of the mower gas.


Before that I was in high school just trying to get as far as I could on a tank of gas.
