Hence I've had a long love affair with ms. Bofors

I loved yo olde Bofors. Worked on one once that was hand cranked.

Yeah, thats how it starts. You start cranking it with a hand and then nature takes its course. [X(][:D]

I thought it was electric power after that?

DELL Computers (sales and service) SUCKS!!! [:@]

My employer buys Dells exclusively. Yes they suck.

Yeah, mine does too... after today, i am going to see if i can influence them not to. That should cost Dell a few hundred K/year if i can. Doubtful, but i'll give it a shot.


I've always had a dell and can't complain. My wife is an apple lover....She wants an all in one apple that we can run windows and her mac crap on....should I take the plunge?

I've had excellent success with VMWare Fusion running XP.

You want a desktop, not a laptop, right? I'd get an iMac...starts at $1200. If you hunt around, you might find a refurbished one for less.

The alternative would be a Mac mini. Those are nice little machines too.

Ditto. I run AE in Fusion and it works great. I bought Win7 for more graphics-intensive games but thats a different story.

Not that I've heard. And I think (dont quote me on this) that they still come with the 1 year warranty.

You can spend 3k if you want. [8D] That'll get you a beast of a Mac Pro.

Don't know about refurbished issues....they tend to be well-made devices, so refurbished makes some sense, providing it is done properly.

Just had a great lunch with my wife and a good family friend who came over for the first time since Christmas.  I think it's time to win the Powerball jackpot.  I could get used to this not working thing.  [:D]

We use the "AZERTY" model, when the rest of the world use the "QWERTY" keybord.....
Hope your travel is ....well OK (i can't hope it could reach a level "perfect", i have no confidance in frecnh people).

Well, if somebody is pointed a twin-barrel 23mm anti-aircraft gun at me, then I'd call that a pretty strong opponent...[:D]
Bah. Any calibre less than 40mm is for wimps. [;)][:'(]

ETA: I started my career in the Army Air Defense. Hence I've had a long love affair with ms. Bofors [;)]


I USED to like you Per! [:D]

i used to be trained to something just a little bigger..... a ROLAND anti-air missile.... [:'(]
