Tools of the Trade / Re: Vista and Microsoft 2007

« on: Jun 13, 2007, 02:42 pm »

with the ease of Office Mac, I see no reason to use Vista (or PCs, for that matter) at all.  No viruses, either, which is a huge bonus.

Unfortunately there are now a few viruses that Macs are vulnerable to.

I recently found out that I am also going to be a daddy for the first time, and that has given a whole new meaning to the nickname. 

Congratulations!

Funny that those and my AOL instant messenger program (I dumped actual AOL a while ago, still using the free messenger) are about the only programs that ever crash on me...

You don't need the AIM software to IM on OSX, iChat is compatible with your AIM screen name.

you are correct that the new LED mags wont fit the cases, but if you get the conversion kit for a normal mini mag, it doesn't add any extra length and still fits old cases

It's also dark and takes away the ability to focus the light.

The new MagLEDs will not fit in standard closed bottom cases. I have a glossy black leather open bottom holster that will hold the 2AA perfectly. According to my rough calculations, the 3AA will not allow me to sit down without the light going on the floor. I actually reviewed the MagLED for PSW(Pro Sound Web)

Copy and paste the link into the text box at http://tinyurl.com/ it then generates a link which you copy and paste into whatever form you are using.
You can also use a text link:
url=http://smnetwork.org] SM Network[/url
if you just add a [ before the first url and a ] after the second url this is the result:
SM Network

the beach is down the street, which must have been great, all I had near my school was a river.

I have a correctional facility and an interstate near mine.

« on: May 04, 2007, 03:39 pm »

I just had an asm exactly like this and I totally put her up in the sound booth to help the sound designer. she ends up doing nothing that helping with mic checks and watching the show!

That's not nice, it just makes the sound people angry.
