my wife has her own guns, and is a better shot than I am.

yah, my gun obsession was a decade ago. I found out today I still remember how to shoot. Or at least my hands do. I helped my friend improve from "on the man sized target" to "pie plate sized group" in 30 minutes of shooting (at 10 yards)

you need 1 cable from the left channel of your source to the left channel of your preamp to the left channel of your amplification system you need 1 cable from the right channel of your source to the right channel of your preamp to the right channel of your amplification system a total of 6 cables, whether you're using monoblocks or a stereo amp or whatever. It's just not that complicated.

I brought my S&W 629 (.44mag, 4" barrel), H&K Tactical .45, and Colt Combat Commander. My friend who I went shooting with brought his Beretta P92. I used to have a couple of kimbers, but I gave one to my father in law, and then my other one was stolen from my car in alaska.

went shooting for the first time in ages. Was a lot of fun.

Happy birthday toddy

I'd assume smd components and multifunction parts like with other similar sized devices that don't have iPod dock connectors.

oh, that's probably just a clogged drain then. Do you have a plunger?

if you don't use it, you don't have to deal with it

Probably not Dinny

it's only when you leave multiple accounts logged in and running things that it'd make a difference, especially if one of the background accounts is acting as an itunes server that someone else is actively using while you are on.

just prepare yourself for the fact that that's not an ideal use situation for a laptop, so you'll see sluggishness. Especially when it gets to be 6 years old.

The reason apple operating systems have improved at a faster pace than Microsoft operating systems was that willingness to let things advance to where they wouldn't support old hardware. If you were happy with your computer for the first year, keep doing what you were doing. Upgrading has costs. Sell your old system and buy a new one if you need the new capabilities. Choose not to spend the money on other things. Make a decision about what matters and don't waffle or blame the people making things better.

Multiple users logged on simultaneously running servers is hardly a typical use case for a laptop. Especially a 6 year old laptop. My kids have a 2006 MacBook running lion that runs the sims, word, Firefox, etc with no problems. And a 6 year old laptop is really damn old.
