Grrrr!!! I don't know HOW it happened, but half of the plug of the AC adapter for my iBook, broke off inside the jack. Not only do I have virtually no backup computer,, but I have to buy a new AC adapter and DC board.  :furious:

I'm as stunned as you are. I'm kind of upset, seeing as that's my favorite computer, and none of my other computers are suited for the things I need to do. It will be out of comission for at least 2 weeks :(

I took two years of Spanish in high school, so I speak it, albeit not too fluently. I can hold a basic conversation, so I suppose you could say I'm semi-fluent. For example (the wording, BTW will be right, but I don't know how to get Spanish symbols):

Me: Hola! Que tal?

You: Muy bien, por favor. E tu?

Me: Muy bien, por favor.

And so on and so forth. LOL, to be honest I'm surprised I've retained anything I learned in Spanish class. I always hated that class.  :lol:

Marylanders cannot speak spanish.

I just want to apologize real quick for what happened tonight. I went a bit overboard. However, as is always the case I did it for the site, and for you guys. I am so passionate about this site and making it the best it can be that sometimes I make some bad decisions in the interest of improving it. My heart, I think, was in the right place, I just went about things wrong. This was not personal against any of you guys (except of course Vernon, but he's been dealt with).

Yeah, we all know how it is.  Nothing wrong with a little passion for your members.  Just don't let TWCToday end up like Enron and TWCClasics end up like Wal-Mart :D

I can certainly control what TWCT ends up like, but I can't do anything about TWCC. Matt, Tyler, and the TWCC members have made it quite clear what they want, and that's all there is to it.

The domain name expires in June, and I'm heavily considering not renewing. I have more important things to worry about (and consequently, spend money on) then a stupid website. I started this site for fun, and to offer a service that you guys were no longer getting. Well, here we are a year later, and I'm having no fun, and you guys have made it quite clear that your indifferent to the future of this site. Well then so am I.

On second thought, the site won't be going anywhere. We're going to get through this just like we've gotten through every other obstacle.  :sunglasses:

What is the largest capital city in the United States? I think Boston is. Am I right? Cause this my answer.
