That's a hard one but I'll have to say Abrams & Bettes.

GMA, Today Show, or Early Show... or YWT if you don't watch any of those.

UPDATE: I found this at Best Buy. I think this one, although not as attractive, looks like a better deal.

LOT8s, you spelled my name wrong. That's why I said that.

Jonny, I heard Acers are really bad IMO. But it's your choice still.

I have to disagree, we put 7 17-inch Acer LCDs out on our nasty, oily/greasy filled air, shop floor at work in 2005 and only two have kicked the bucket (both this year). We also buy them for our office and none in the office have died. They are good for people on a strict budget. Obviously if money wasn't a factor I'd get a Dell Ultrasharp or Apple Studio Display but Acer is definitely a good option.

I've got a 2004 Lexus RX330 w/ navigation, my dream car, I've wanted one since they came out in 98.

Crown branded forklifts at Home Depot

Oh yea, once I get my forklift license at work I might once in a while drive Toyota branded forklifts...

General Discussion / Re: What Type of Cell Phone Do You Have?

« on: July 16, 2009, 07:55:36 AM »

Here is all the phones I've had in order,

First one I got in 03 or 04 - Motorola V722i
Motorola V188
Blackberry 7105t
Blackberry 8700g
iPhone Original
Current - iPhone 3GS

If the iPhone was never invented I'd still be using my 8700g, such a good phone, except by now I probably would have upgraded to a Curve, plus I'd still be on T-Mobile!

I still have an AOL account, It's a free one though but it works with their desktop software. I have it just when I feel like taking a trip through time back to the 90s. If you go under the "Show your desktops" thread I have a pic of me logged into AOL 3.0.

Is Nick @ Nite phasing out Home Improvement? I notice instead of having it on at 9 in the evenings and at midnight, it is now only at 5 AM. Yet, I have seen Malcolm In The Middle 3 times this evening and Family Matters twice. Both are great shows, but I don't want to see the same episodes twice in just a couple hours.

That really sucks, Home Improvement is a better show than those two combined. Plus how long has it been on N@N, not that long IIRC. I wish somebody would re-air Boy Meets World, talk about a great show!

I suppose in that sense it could be called classic. Usually when I hear the term "Classic Mac" thrown around, it refers to the machines using Old World ROM's.

True, I see where you would say that, I'd more likely call those "Vintage" and the OS 9 capable Macs "Classics" but to each his/her own.

Anyway, an original AirPort card for my PowerBook, about $23.

A 1999 Graphite iMac DV Special Edition for $20. I've been on a classic Mac spree lately.

You call THAT classic Mac?

OS 9 is called "Classic" mode, it runs os 8.6. It's almost 10 years old, yea, I'd call it classic. Definitely a 128k or a SE/30 would be true classic but no matter what they are all "Obsolete" based on Apple's standards.
