I know that up to 2000, Memorex made a high quality CD-RW. It was only 4x, but, even up to today, those discs still worked. I don't use them anymore because of faster speeds available.

Oh, dear god... :& Imation, another CMC bandwagon, buys Memorex, another CMC bandwagon... You know, the funny thing is Imation, like Memorex, USED to offer some quality products 5 plus years ago. Then, they went cheap, e.g. CMC, and almost everything they made, from floppies to CD-R's to DVD recordables, to audio cassettes, to DVD-RAM, to data tape all turned to crap. So, this means that, at least, Imation and Memorex will no longer be vying for the same shelf space at Wal-Mart to sell you cheap crap! You can get all your shit in one convenient place. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7234.cfm

Peter, from Family Guy, with Brian at a bar after the dog, who has been talking since Episode 1, is discussing his problems: "Holy cow! You can talk!"

Now, if you get the right kind of pizza slice, the soft kind, aka New York style, you can put the fries on the slice, roll it up, and have a convenient pizza potato sandwich.

Proper? Just because I wrote how it's spoken doesn't make it the Queen's English! Okay, I'll see what I can do about getting a picture of my tooth up. It was the right, lower wisdom tooth, so, it was still large enough to pry out, even though half of it was rotted away.

For me, it's not late at all. Thank you and thanks to all who wished me a happy getting closer to the grave day. Thanks and tanks will follow...

I remember others here talking about their ancient systems. One that ran on wombat power: a wombat running in a hamster wheel. It was also the first water cooled system. Then there was the amazing one that ran on ethanol and various other corned based fuels.

Anyone want to see the tooth? I could photog it and try to post it somehow. Yes, they gave it to me. As for enjoying after I heal, I won't be entirely healed by tomorrow, but, it's when I currently have plans to be taken out, a bit late, for birthday dinner by me mum.

Is that a command? Happy birthday. MATE!

Or, trade me one for Abducted By The Daleks.

They certainly do mate try the NEC 4550 or 4551 ! Send me one, skin flint!

I had my Commodore 64 up until about 1991. I managed to sell it for about half of its 1987 or so price, even then!

Having worked with an older set up at my last job, what I really hated was formatting code in specific columns. If you didn't place the $ in the right column, etc. ERROR!

I think it's pie made from clams...

I feel I could make perfect sense! "My fellow wombats, I beg your attention! Lend me your water wings! Tweety has told me the secret! THE SECRET OF THE CORN! He told it to me in the parts of a broken optical drive I had lying around. And that secret lies in pie and chips! PIE AND CHIPS! Thank ye."

Yes, it is. Originally, soap was shipped in large wooden boxes, very similar to apple crates. If people wanted to be heard, they would often stand up on overturned soap boxes to rise above the heads of the crowd and get attention.

If I may be selfish for a change, er, for the moment I think I will adapt my normal birthday greetings to fit me. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Whoopty dee! Whoopty dee! May it be pleasant! I'll open up my present! Just for me! Just for me!

Hyde Park sounds right. I believe it's where Al Bundy went when the Bundies went to England on Married With Children. Looked it up. It is Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park.

Well, I would like an NEC that supports DVD-R DL if they make them. Have had the tooth removed. A surprising 3 shots of novocaine were used. So, the most painful part will probably be the wearing off the anesthesia. Right now, it's just hard to swallow my own saliva!

God bless us all... for once!

I could put my to be extracted tooth under my pillow tonight... and wake up to find TWO teeth underneath!

Found a new file in the root of a DVD movie disc. It had the extension of TXTDT. TXT makes me think text so is it some kind of file that contains title info, etc. for specific player functions? I loaded the file and it is plain text containing this: DVD_TEXT_DATA Version = 1.0 TEXT_DATA_ID = "" Num_Lang_Units = 1 [unit.1] Language = English Character_Set = ISO_646 $ Volume @ name YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THIS! @ sorting you don't need to know this! $ Title #1 @ name Title 1 @ sorting title 1 $ Title #2 @ name Title 2 @ sorting title 2 $ Title #3 @ name Title 3 @ sorting title 3 $ Title #4 @ name Title 4 @ sorting title 4 $ Title #5 @ name Title 5 @ sorting title 5 $ Title #6 @ name Title 6 @ sorting title 6 $ Title #7 @ name Title 7 @ sorting title 7 $ Title #8 @ name Title 8 @ sorting title 8 $ Title #9 @ name Title 9 @ sorting title 9 $ Title #10 @ name Title 10 @ sorting title 10 $ Title #11 @ name Title 11 @ sorting title 11 $ Title #12 @ name Title 12 @ sorting title 12 $ Title #13 @ name Title 13 @ sorting title 13 DT = DVD_TEXT? If so, what is DVD_TEXT? Again, I'd say it's some kind of info to display on a player's LED screen? Or, TXTDT might mean TEXT DATA? What's with all that weird @ sorting stuff? Anyone know?

Hong Kong Phooey's #1 Super Chop might be a cheap alternative to anesthetic. I've often wondered if you can get cheaper alternatives based on what you're willing to pay. For instance, medium level would be a shot of whiskey, like what your barber used to give you before yanking a tooth. Down to the bottom of the barrel: a Three Stooges' slap just before the procedure.
