The only good thing that ever happened to CNN Weather was when they had Jill Brown. Otherwise, CNN Weather has never been worth watching.

Let me see if I can simplify it a bit: What you do is enter your card number. Then iTunes will give you money in your account (the value of the gift card). You must spend all of that money before you can choose another payment method (Paypal, credit card, etc.).

Make sense to ya now?

I would imagine that you can spend the money at any rate you wish. I don't believe that there is any requirement that you spend the money all at once. As for what songs to buy, my usual technique is to just scan through the playlists and buy songs that I think may be good. Although I'm sure that there are at least a few people here who won't hesitate to give you suggestions.

Everything Else TWC / Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?

« on: August 06, 2007, 12:04:14 AM »

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Though I have to admit, getting people to contribute anything so far has been resemblant of pulling teeth. Granted, there are several folks here who are regular contributor, and for that I am appreciative. There are also a few folks here who contributed all that they have, and I am appreciative of them as well. But there are others here, at TWC Classics, and at YouTube who have very interesting videos, but either don't know about this site, or haven't contributed yet. There was one person who is a regular poster here who had videos up on Youtube, but never offered to give them to me. I had to ask him if it was ok to put them on my site.

Like I said, just some minor rewording.  I was afraid I would come across sounding nasty the way I originally had it.  8)

I agree Dan. While dropping out can have terrible consequences, it doesn't have to. You and you alone are in control of your life. A dropout can make himself just as successful as a graduate (which is something I'm just now beginning to find out). Go back, get your GED, and all the doors that are open to a graduate are now open to the non-graduate. However, taking away a persons car is a disaster in the making. Transportation is absolutley vital to finding any job, or furthering your education in any way. Instead of punishing those who drop out, the government should be finding ways to prevent that from happening in the first place. IMO, school systems are totally bureaucratic. Principals are made to feel powerless by the school board and superintendent. If principals had more power, they could do more to correct some of the issues that cause perfectly good people to drop out. And of course our legal system does nothing to help. All it does is leave principals feeling like they'll be sued no matter what they do.

Yup your correct. I've been wrong many times before, so I'm not afraid to admit that I'm wrong again. 

I saw that edit.

It was just a slight edit. Just rewording what I wanted to say.  8)

I'm interested in seeing it too, though I doubt I ever will because I currently have no intention of getting an HD box.

No, the XL bar is not black. It is, and always has been, transparent.

And of course you know I agree with it. I experienced some of those circumstances that forces a person to have to make that terribly difficult, disheartening decision.

It is best, no doubt. But as I said earlier, sometimes circumstances dictate otherwise.
