I always view Miles as a jazz musician.

G'day Peter. I'm not listening to anything. Watching the Olympics.

Womens what?

I have been too but it's wearing a bit thin. To many commercial breaks. :(

Womans Beach volleyball was just on. The German women look pretty good. Adds are a PIA.

There are too many options for this statement.:D

Sharyn was not unopposed to the idea of the Targa tour. Mumbled something about wining the lotto first. Hmmm

Thanks Glen. Wasn't it called Digital Darkroom before Photoshop? I'm a graphic designer and spend a good part of my day working with Photoshop.

It was long long ago in my memory but as I remember Photostyler was real competition to Adobe. They had a better program so Adobe bought them and merged the programs to make Photoshop. I am too lazy to Google it all.

I do remember we bought a scanner and software package. My mighty 66 Mhz PC with 4 megs of RAM worked overnight just to rotate a 2,600 x 3,000 pixel scan. The boss let me order 4 more megs for well over a $1,000, (I do mean MEGS not gigs.) With a 8 MB PC I was in high cotton. Until I saved just two of those scans as tiff files and filled up my hard drive.

I used to think a image bigger than 70 MB was a total waste of pixels, and it was back then. Today each frame of film that we scan makes a 1 GIG file. We just flew a job that had over 2,000 images. We can fill up a RAID storage device in no time!

Bwahahahahahaha

I almost really embarrassed myself. I saw a guy from the back that I swear was a old buddy. I was reaching for the back of his neck to grab him when I saw the guy had a beard. Wrong dude! Whew.

Like everyone with mail service we get junk mail. I just got a flyer from RAM Aircraft. They have a engine replacement special. For ONLY $33,300 and the exchange of our old engine we can have a overhauled 1700 hour TBO engine. So if we could get the engine installed for free the engine alone costs $19.60 per hour to use. Obviously it is not cheap to install the engine and feed it oil & gas.

And some people think Porsches are expensive!

Oh they have the "hot rod" upgrade also. Instead of just 300 HP it has whopping 310 HP! And it comes with a new three blade prop and the STC (FAA required to modify anything) for only $59,379! :eek:

I'd hold out for the Motor Meister rebuild special myself:rolleyes:

One thing for sure is MM would have been shut down long ago if they built aircraft engines.

Their motto.......fly like a rock

Morning gents!!!!!!
 

Well finally I have arrived in the land of the right hand drivers!!

miss me? I have been temporarily without computer oomph as my laptop died in the move, deaf much to my disgust, and trying to prize a computer out of the teenager was just too hard, had to resort to the iPhone as my only Internet connection, I felt positively Amish !!!!!

Still no tv trouble with social security number, no ssn no tv subscription, so that is the way it goes here in the land of the red white and blue, eh!!

Missed last few days of le tour de France! And the olympics, have to resort to getting what I can off utube or torrents of events of the net, once I got a computer repaired I downloaded the Olympic opening ceremony in hd from pirate bay, only 28 gig, glad we have unlimited downloads lol!!

Well just thought I would call in, have. Bought a Dodge Durango, have to get used to the size bit bigger than Miss Daisy!!! Both her and Pusha are now ensconced in storage in Oz, sniff,,,,, looking for a good little Porsche older car for a second runabout for the hubby, he is having Pusha withdrawal, saw a nice '70 little kermit green on the for sale adds but it doesnt have a price, anyone know the car?

Better get back to housework, sigh, when I have time I will have to catch up to see the goss, since I am about a month behind, anything exciting happen while I have been gone?

SmileWavy

Hi Azza! Yes, we did miss you. Glad you made it. SmileWavy

Wow, Azzarule, we thought you had been captured by the internet.

Glad to have ya back. Keep in touch. We need all the female supervision possible.

And welcome to the RIGHT side of the road.

Not sure I made it Jim, or I just survived the transition!!!
 

Learning again to drive on the other side of the road took ....... 10 minutes or recallbration lol

Except now I have a teenager telling me how to drive. Last time they were much younger so I didn't find it so stressful!!

The right side"""
 

Glenn, not sure it's the right side but it makes driving in thenusa easier!! If I stick to the right side

Anyone get married?get divorced? Get jailed?
 

While I was offline?

The G-man is getting close to engaged. He has even been to a baby shower (not his baby!) with his future bride. He is off the market for the other ladies now.

RickV changed jobs twice in the last week and half. SloDave was attacked by killer squirrels, but is expected to make a complete recovery.

Welcome back Azza.
G is this close to getting married.
Stijn has gone missing.
Livi pops in now and again.
The rest of us are still on the loose.

Max still has not had a date....

Dave got his pilots license!

Well now I don't have to read a thousand pages of goss!

stijnn missing? Maybe he has gone walkabout in Europe it is summer and not raining in Belgium for a change probably, or he went to watch 'le Tour' and has managed to cycle back lol.

One thing I really missed was my music, of course like all good people these days, it was all on my laptop, and my iPhone which didn't transport to the USA either very well, and I had lost everything, following some geek doctoring at least I got most of my he'd back, including music, so going deaf again with music in the house, it was dead quiet before, but did not manage to get back all of my email contacts, poop!! Lost all of the pst file for my outlook accounts, and my aust ISP closed down my account so couldn't retrieve anything, sigh!! Computers suck. Didn't even bring one cd with me of music, bloody iTunes!!!! And off yourself none of mynitunes library is legal, although most was from my own CDs , which are sitting in a warehouse in Oz. life in the electronics world eh

Go Dave! Well done, now he can fly around the world and visit everyone, pick up some parts!!

i hate it!!!!!!!

Lol
 

Some things just don't change lol

Well well well look what the cat dragged in. I mean Hey Azzy!!!!
I guess I have to be nice now since you are about 90 miles away. I would hate to wake up in the middle of getting my ass kicked. :)

Dewd ya gotta get in touch with your inner nerd

Laughing out loud!!!
 

Know of any good cheap Porsches in "our" area!!!!


What's this you been changing jobs! Someone been giving you a hard time?

Squirrels dragged me in!! We have plenty

Well you could have picked up my boxster for cheap before I had the chain tentioners replaced. Let me know what you are looking for and I'll see what I can come up with. Also check the Dorkiphus forum you joined. Jim may be able to help you too, he is right in your back yard, as well as Seahawk, the eternal teenager

He dosn't like it when I poke him in the eye.....

That is one reason I just buys a CD, amd make MP3 files. I can store every CD I own (well over 100) on my iPhone.

Check out Pandora. They have a streaming service. They have a free starter package to try it out. You get 40 hours of free music. If you get hooked like I did you can buy the service for something like 3 bucks a month. All the music you can listen to for 3 bucks a month is cheap. I can listen on my computer or iPhone.

But he will learn

I had al my CDs on my laptop that's the problem, executive decision to leave them in oz as I had them on iPhone and laptop, laptop died, and midget killed the iPhone syncing it to his iTunes account accidentally, sigh. But all good again, he'd partially recovered just took a couple of weeks of listening to the midgets music!!

Play nice boys! Mum is back!

I try and play nice but it is David's fault.

That is new since you have been gone, it is always David's fault
