  1. I think a lot of PC users may be jumping in if the MS Surface is priced right and performs as advertised. Being able to synch your desktop, laptop, tablet and MS phone address books etc would be a boon for those of us that can't quite force ourselves to pay the Apple premium and are not really enamored by Google's Android either. I have not previewed Win8 and am intrigued by your comment about using the mouse and keyboard. Are they less responsive or do they behave oddly that has a bit of a learning curve?
  2. Andy's third set was shaky. It would be a real morale booster for the Brits if the Scot were to win! Especially with the Olympics getting set to start.
  3. I seem to remember the article talks about burning a DVD reinstall option.
  4. Hopefully it will spark further investment and revival in that part of London. I think especially tall buildings are interesting but I wouldn't want to work or live in one. The fact that it is provoking discussion as to it's striking appearance is good. It seems I recall the Gherkin did so when it was built as well.
  5. Federer up two sets to one in the semi's agains Djokovic. It's been a really fast paced match so far! Federer is up a break in the 4th. Federer wins!
  6. Ch. 49 is up early! Thanks! JJ is being the diva and giving Will the treatment for being Will. Will is slutty and having no problems so far being that way. Cue problems?

    Chapter 49

    Poor JJ. He is a diva, but it is his gig, and still it's all about Will.
  8. I saw this article on CNET. It has really piqued my interest! http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57465416-75/windows-8-pro-upgrade-set-for-$39.99-media-center-too/?tag=txt;title
  9. With CJ, I'd never limit the options to just 3........Maybe 30x3
  10. Happy Independence Day! And a special prayer of thanksgiving for all of our active duty service men & women, our military retirees and our veterans for giving us and maintaining our freedom. As the DAV slogan proclaims: Freedom isn't Free!
  11. Ok, you've gone from hot to Blazing HOT!
  12. Unlike some, I never assume or put much faith in rumors or innuendo. The fact that Mr. Cooper has publicly acknowledged his orientation is news. IMHO everyone has a right to choose to keep their private life private as it is really no one else's business.
  13. Zombie--you seem to forget that all the Puritans left England and came to America! Bill--It will be interesting to see if the media tries to sensationalizes this and hounds Anderson relentlessly. My observation is that he has always been rather reserved and non-judgmental. I guess it would be too much to ask that he be treated likewise.
  14. Just read the story on MSNBC. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48046675#.T_HY3JH4IWY
  15. The poor purser. His station seems to correspond to what we would call middle class and he also seems to have those middle class sensibilites. Being British, I suspect he usually minds his own business. He comes to his captain bearing terrible news about the ship's surgeon and has to describe how the vital crewman was apprehended and then must sit stonefaced as the captain and his Lt. get the giggles like a couple of kids. Can't you just picture it.

    Chapter 48

    Interesting chapter. But, sad news indeed about Pat.

    Chapter 11

    Well that chapter ended with another pain in the ass episode of having to rescue the ship's surgeon. The return of Calvert is going well as I expected. Now if we can just get the mutiny in the Nore behind them, find out who will replace Bertie and get underway.....
  18. Happy Birthday to our northern neighbors! You are the best neighbors in the world!
  19. As much as we bemoan the hot temps, my heart goes out to the people and firefighters in Colorado dealing with the fires and the terrible destruction.
  20. It was a shocker! Now if Rosol can pull off another win against a strong opponent, it won't be a one-off fluke....

    Moving On

    Just do it! (With my best wishes of course!)
  22. Families are our toughest critics and comparisons between siblings can be awfully unfair. I can relate, but I also must suggest an attitude adjustment. I'd ignore the lonely old man that is making you feel like a failure and just deal with him only as necessary. Then I'd get off my butt and finish my degree and then start really hunting for job in a field of your choice. If it means dad has to go into a senior facility and his house sold to pay for it, so be it. You have a right to a life and you got to let go of all the emotional baggage before you can feel fulfillment. Good luck and get to it. Times a wasting!
  23. The old formula sucked and I'm willing to give anything else a chance!
  24. I think the next couple of chapter stays with the JJ's competition and Will. Just my guess.

    Chapter 47

    The chapter started out being funny but ended way hot!
