42 cents for a steak! No wonder the 38 cent dinner tasted like a discarded mail sack!
Thanks for that info my fellow monkeys.
BTW in 1932 a quart of rye cost 92 cents (according to Chandler himself) so drinking heavily clearly was not a huge drain on the economy.
Umm ... thanks. But do you know any on-line libraries that carry back issues of say SF Chronicle for 1938.
Local Libraries don't carry back copies of foreign press unfortunately.
Thanks worldwide I'll look into it. (just saw your post).
Small bear - you gonna buy the OS for me? *waits for OS - not a sausage*
The OS is pretty stable (I defrag/error & virus check regularlly) & doesn't seem to crash during power down. However I will try just adjusting and powering down and see what happens.
BB - yep tried that. But Auto arranges on startup.
Small Bear - Yep have to beat the bar off with a stick ;)
seriously I know that but must be a way to have it auto hide from startup
Is it just me or are all these sleepers in the same lecture?
Must be economics. I had to have double-double expresso before those. Then in my final year we got to have DOUBLE ECONOMICS on Friday afternoons. That was a killer. One summer arvo even the teacher nearly passed out!
I heard that Mircosoft's version of this application has air-brushed Apple HQ off the face of the earth, replacing it with a v crappy photograph of a deserted warehouse.
If it doesn't fit Big Bill's view, it doesn't exist!
Cheers midclasstool.
Hate to admit my massive ignorance of all things mathmatical, so instead blame a bad maths teacher in last years of school. *he he*
Not all bad though. I remember one teacher put the whole class off HP for life by explaining what a rip-off it is. Saved me personally thousands of bucks.
Thallium - chemically similar to asenic, was very popular in post-war Australia as both a rat poison and to get rid of the troublesome hubbies (women are far more likely to poison than men. It is the number-one method of homicide in England amonst women.)
Also check out a movie called "The Young Poisoner's Handbook".
Nice cup of tea anyone?
Yep - many CHARTIES use telemarketing to solict donations - but what hell - must be esy living the wonderdul town of I'M-ALRIGHT-JACK-FUCK-YOU, U.S.A
