That's what I thought. Just didn't remember how it worked. It's been at least a decade since I've installed an OS. Thanks.

I feel stupid for even asking this, but here goes. Someone offered to sell me Win7 Pro last night for $75.00 ($200 program I think). They said two installations of it are allowed and they installed it on one computer already. Would I be able to install it and register it as well from a different...

I have a spare computer we bought from a local university sale. The volume licensing issue precluded our receiving an OS disc with it. It is locked into a bootup loop which won't let it open up fully. I had a friend who is an IT guy at Lockheed look at it yesterday. He said the hardware is all...

I can top that. I was once a designer at a company that made clear acrylic pulpits every tv preacher stands behind ( we did 'em all ). When I came to work there, I immediately noticed all the offices piled floor to ceiling with stuff. I took it upon myself to declutter my office, throwing out...

They went bankrupt before that, but then one of their largest dealers bought the assets of the company and reopend the factory briefly. Textron, who was left holding the bag with the original financing, kept about 200 cycles out of the sale to the dealer. When they began dumping the completed...

All I can relate this to is American IronHorse motorcycles where I used to be a pinstriper at the factory. When they went bankrupt suddenly, people with brand new $30,000.00 motorcycles had no warranty available anymore at dealerships where they bought the bikes. None, nada, zilch.

The first sign shop I worked at had a second story wall job coming up. The boss aked me if I could work off a walk plank high up. I said "sure - wherever my feet are is the ground to me". It was a totally different story though when I first tried standing up on the suspended plank. I walked...

Not for me. I can eat it like candy for months and have no withdrawal after stopping abruptly. That's because of a little thing called tolerance. After 14 major surgeries, I have had countless scripts for OxyContin, morphine, methadone and suboxone that I have been on for up to 3 years at a...

You're right - I walked away. If it had happened on the freeway I had just exited it might have been a different story. Just got back from dr.'s office. The impact aggravated a bad lower back problem I had only just recently obtained total relief from. With the Vicodin script I'll be feeling too...

At one old shop location I had, my phone number was one digit different from a new Holiday Inn up the road. Every week I fielded calls from people wanting to make a reservation. My standard reply after answering with "Arlo's Signs" and being then asked "is this the Holiday Inn?" was to say...

I actually believe the same way.

If only I could have stayed at work that extra 5 minutes yesterday instead of leaving a bit early! Coming home on rain slick roads I navigated a congested freeway just fine. Getting off on secondary highway however was another story. The traffic on this road was unusually heavy, owing I guess to...

Mike, I remember about 25 years ago when Alton Gillepsie worked for me you came down from Oklahoma with some board signs my brother was going to install at an apartment complex for you in the Fort Worth area. Some info was missing from them to comply with local codes. You borrowed some of my...

Wow! That's exactly how my Mom's house looked when we pulled into the driveway!

Reminds me of several years ago in Indiana when I still lived there. My uncle and I in southern Indiana had a case of beer in his Ford cargo van and took off to visit my Mom in northern part of the state during the winter. The farther north we got, the more snow we ran into. By the time we drank...

I just Googled Komondor... they are an amazing breed of dog. I'd like to have one but doubt they'd do well in Texas heat with that amazing coat. It's incredible how they instictively guard other livestock.

Got a lump in my throat now remembering Sandy - our 14 YO border collie we had to put down after she suffered a stroke in the back yard and lost use of her hind legs. My son and I stayed with her in the vets office as he put her down. We both sat in my truck and cried before I could drive home...

I said it months ago in another thread similar to this one. "No, I don't give away files I've created. They are my tools to do a job for you. I can't hire a carpenter to build an addition onto my house and ask him to leave me his hammer in case I want to add a few boards later on.". It's always...

My two favorite customers were aircraft owners. One guy owned a factory and I lettered two of his planes. Got rides in both of them. One was a Beechcraft twin engine, the other a vintage Piper Cub. He dropped into the shop one time during the Holidays and gave me a bottle of Bristol Cream...

Several years ago the wife and I took the kids to the Bahamas. I did something there you might consider. Got a local phone book and looked up sign shops. Me and my two boys got directions and took several buses to the other side of the island, and with help from real locals (we were miles from...
