New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[MaxaMini]

I'll bob and weave but only in the company of like minded MINIs and never without a first "Heads Up" on channel seven.
The tape evidence is hard to refute. Talk about self incrimination.

Very nice that any tape of MOT is favorable and we are welcomed back. I understand that the Waterfest participoants routinely trash the rooms in which they stay. Long live MOT!

I'll have to review my MOT tape and see if I got anything of the biker who was pulling a wheelie all the way up the hill on Rt16...! Kind of impressive, but kind of stupid too. I was just wondering what would happen if he fell off the back and the three MINIs behind him ran him over... who's fault would that be..?

Nice, CCM. A web page that brings up dialogs that say Can't open the file, check the filename and try again. That seems strangely familiar. Oh look, it's Windows Midia Player. Why do you people on using such crap?

I just tried it. Not as clean as safari. It looks to improve with more development though. Maybe they will implement the super features that are in iCab, without the registration/expiration hassles. And what is this? An Ad?!? I haven't seen one of those in a while! My eyes are burning! Ahh it doesn't like PithHelmet!! Ahh, good, it seems PH support is coming in 2.0. Look at me being too lazy to install it. Maybe when my eyes stop burning.

Ever sit at a windows machine, and see all those pop-up things? Do you remember those? They're already "old school" to those of us that like to be productive. For ourselves. Not the wallet of those in Washington state.

So let me get this correctly. You are blaming me because your POS computer can't play a particular format? Haha. I laugh at your worm eaten Apple.

That VW video is a hoot. Reminds me of when NHREF got pulled for being oblivious toa red light during the Big Dig Run. When five of his buddie pulled up alongside the cruiser, the trooper changed to giving directions instead of tickets. It's just that we're all so darn cute (I mean our cars, not us). Or maybe it's that most of us are a bit more "mature?"

I can play windows media just fine. It's not my fault that they didn't design it in any way to be streamed over the net, or from your hard drive for that matter! I shouldn't get an "can't find file" error when it's embedded in some news station's web page! Well they deserve the loss of audience for not allowing their viewers to choose formats. I wish a plague of bagel viruses upon them.

Quit your ing, and buy a real computer. Real Computers are not named after fruit.

Hey Steve, How about naming your dog "Nitro"?

The benefit is taking back one little slice of your computing life from under the thumb of Bill "When people say 'the Man is keeping me down', I'm 'the Man' they are talking about" Gates and his standards-warping browser. I've been using Mozilla 1.x and Firebird/Firefox 0.x for a while now, haven't looked back...

I don't understand a word of this.

[MaxaMini]

Halleluiah and praise the Lord. Pass the Mozilla and pepperoni. I'll take a side order of Mozerella and hold the sausage. Excuse me sir ."Would you like fries with that?".

Please please me! Bill, Bon Voyage. Wrest control of your resources. Long Live Firefox.
Instead of using the Stones" Start Me Up" to introduce Windows he might have more appropriately chose "Under My Thumb".

I agree with my pal Ricardo. Free yourselves! Right On Right On. Power to the people. I'm so glad I'm out of that industry.

Just off the phone with Actual Size in hopes of catching the annointed one who was "In The Hood" to drive Ricks newly pulleyed ride. That's the facts Jack. He was long gone. You lucked out this time Johnny Boy but I'm gonna sic Mart on ya.

No, they have much more intelligent names like Packard Compaq Quantex-on-a-stick. And my personal favorite, here at work many of the older machines are branded with a big "CPU" sticker. Yeah! Where can I buy a T-shirt?

So what your saying is, since your computer has a cute sounding name and you can get a tee-shirt with its name on it, it makes it more of a computer than my Toshiba Satellite (which btw is a POS after the duck sause incident, and looking for replacement)...

That's enough boys...!

Anyone going to be in the vicinity of MOP tomorrow..???
Jane's replacement windshield seems to be letting in water down the driver's side pillar, so I'm taking it back up there tomorrow. I'm also going to get my Yokos put on my 16in wheels (no comments thank you Steve) so if anyone's around...
