Went to The Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur, IL today. Actually a good day to go, free admission and no crowds. Win! Just finished grilling some salmon, burgers and corn. Will be hitting the hood for treats in about 30 minutes.

I like your signature Wayne, but shouldn't it be Hordsak The ?

I'm feeling generous today, but that's because I already have one beer under my belt.

Well to be fair, he did confirm that it uses a Delta-Sigma DAC, which was one of the original questions.

That should be stickied as an example of a great first post.

My comment was about the short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness of the media and the fact that it was called The Ray Smuels room and not the Head-Fi or CanJam room. It sounded and felt very condescending, but as you say, I was not there. Plan to rectify that.

Really, a good martini should go well or perhaps a stinger or negroni.

El Floridita No. 1 **2 oz light rum **3/4 oz lime juice **1/2 oz simple syrup ** maraschino liqueur (to taste) Shake with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. The official cocktail of the Tampa "No Cocktail" Meet.

Thankfully, no.

Christmas gift.

Flights booked, now waiting for the hotel to be finalized.

Now that's funny. I love Chuck Norris humor.

Woo hoo! Just got the go ahead for this. Didn't even have to sell my soul, just had to turn it into a mini-family vacation.

The first one is China Martini (Calisaya bitters) and the third one is Wasmund's Rye Spirit. Congratulations on the Giant's spanking of the Rangers.

What? You don't like having your head patted like a puppy?

If it is 12/10 -12/12 then there is a shot of making this, especially with the price of airfare.

^^^^ Nice haul.

Congrats Mike, the medal looks good.

Doesn't matter to me as the University does not have the money to waste on law suits so they will err on the side of caution. But it does state that OSx is only licensed for use on Apple hardware. It makes sense as then the hardware and software can be tailored for each other.

Well, right now my netbook does not get a lot of use as it does not do anything that i want to do that I cannot do on my iPad. So for me it will have to run SAS and the windows version of Excel. So far, the net books I have tried are a massive pile of fail with SAS. They will run them, but it is not a pleasant experience. In fact, running it on the desktop over VNC on the iPad is much superior. I would not use even a 13" notebook in this capacity as I have one and it is relegated to desktop duty. Now the netbooks run straight Excel fine, but when I put in the add-ins that make it useful the experience drops way down. In using Apple computers they have provided a more transparent platform for my software. I spend a lot less time managing the OS and hardware on the Macs. In my old age, having more time to do actual work, rather than maintenance, is very important. That has been the reason I gave up on Linux a long time ago. Very personal and probably not mainstream reasons. The legal thing is also becoming an issue at the University and I definitely need it to hook into the network. I also may buy it off of a grant and then the legal issue is a current issue trying to run OSx, as Dan said above.

Yeah, I'm really close to buying the 4gb 11" model. The two things of concern for me if I do go that route is the size of the SSD and how well it will be able to run parallels. It would be a net book replacement, albeit more capable. But at the price differential it will have to provide additional functionality.

Good luck with the race Mike, hope that bourbon barrel works out. Sorry for the work schedule Al, but hey the Giants are in the big game! Spent most of the day going over my grad student's thesis defense presentation for next Tuesday.
