How come when I view forums on my PC, the text has rough edges and is a bit more blurry, whereas on my Mac the text has much smoother edges making it easier to read? I use Firefox 3 in both my Mac and PC.

Mac OS X has completely different font rendering then Windows does. However, enabling ClearType on Windows will make a big difference in font smoothing quality (but it's still way different then OS X's). :yes:

Personally, I can't stand Mac OS X's font smoothing. ClearType is much easier on the eyes, IMO. :yes:

I was that way at first (I was also the same way with ClearType when XP came out, actually), but as I dealt with Macs more and more, I got used to it. B)

I'm extremely allergic to poison ivy, and guess what I have? Yes, poison ivy. :furious:

It's down by my ankle on my right leg, and on the left leg, its on the inside part of my knee, and the entire way around my ankle. It's in horrible spots, too, as every time I move my legs, the scabs break open. :doh:

Went to the doctors yesterday, and was expecting a steroid shot, but she said it was in an advanced stage, as well as infected, so the shots wouldn't help (and I've only had it for about 6 days). She put me on some strong ass Prednisone to fight the poison ivy (taken 3 times a day for 3 days, 2x for 3 days, and 1x for 4 days), and 500mg Cephalixen to right the infection (3x per day for 15 days). Also, since it's infected, I can no longer put alcohol, Calamine lotion, or even Bactine on it to stop the itching! :hammer:


Guess you're taking the couch tonight, Gary. Wouldn't want to give you all of this! :biggrin:

Hmmm... :thinking:

The first day of fall is tomorrow, and it's gettin' a little chilly on my front porch. I think it might be time to move back inside to the pot belly stove! :yes: Is everything all ready, Gary?

Anyone else care to join me? :P

I told you we shouldn't have been in the poison ivy.  :P :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Yes SL, the PBS will be open at or about 7:00 tomorrow morning. Stephen, Kyle, if one of you get on sooner than that feel free to open it up yourself.  :biggrin:
