Ask Me Help Desk - Alty's chit chat thread.

I didn't say his actions were exceptable. I just said I liked some of his movies.

They found it and reattached it. Im WA case they wouldn't be able too. Try it! Put a weiner in your microwave and leave it in for about a minute. I would have said.."Reattach this if you can. Hugs I feel better now.....

There was a case a few years back, don't remember in which state, where a guy cut his penis off and threw it out his car window at the police cars chasing him. Apparently, he thought they'd stop or something.

I don't remember if I ever knew why he was running, what he was on, and if they were able to reattach it.

No worries. You can like someone's work and not like what they stand for or the things they do. :)

I love the book "I hope they serve beer in hell" but the authors ideals and lack of kindness aren't something I value. Still like the book though, it's hilarious. :)

In that case I'd hope they wouldn't waste the time to reattach.

Jerry Lee Lewis also married a 13 year old. I think she was the daughter of a friend though, not related. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Really...

Yup. I just checked. He was 23 and the 13 year old girl was his second cousin once removed.

It ruined his career.

Don't forget the "once removed" part. ;)

This is the first thing I've seen that really makes me want an iPad.

It looks like swirling intestines! :eek:

Cute kitten though. :)

Those things are freaking awesome! My friend is getting one this week end!

Now, I just need $600-$800 to buy one. I also need $300 to replace my digital camera. And about $200-$400 so I can update my os. That comes out to $1100-$1500. Yeah, I'll just save up for the next couple YEARS!

OMG, I didn't realize they were that expensive. Ya, I won't be getting one any time soon.

I didn't even know they existed. Of course I just got a cell phone at Christmas, so what do I know of electronic gadgets? ;)

The base price is $499, but if you want to get a protective case and cords so you can attach a camera and a couple other extras, it takes it up just a bit more than $100 extra.

Wait a year. They'll be cheaper them. Just look at the iPhone. It went from $200 to $100 in since it was introduced. The ipod's done basically the same thing. Not to mention, later generations will have more memory.

He he, Alty I am picturing you talking on one of those old school silver peanut phones tee hee!

You are right hheath, but I want one nowwwww waahahaha!

I'm a mac user, so I try to keep informed of new releases from apple, even if I know I'll never be able to afford them.

I REALLY want the new macbook pro. It has a solid aluminum uni-body casing, which means they laser cut a body out of a solid piece of aluminum so it doesn't have any seems. It's motion sensitive, and there are games for it that require you to tip and turn the computer to play them. The keyboard and sleep light are light sensitive and light up to just the right level for the room it's in, which means you can type in the dark and the keys won't be glaringly bright.

Okay heath... my husband is an expert at computers. He isn't here right now to explain the mac... How much does it cost?

My next computer will be a Mac. I'm not very computer savvy but they're much better then IBM in my opinion.

Very user friendly, and a LOT easier to maintain. In three years, I have never ONCE had to worry about viruses or spyware.

That's what I hear. My computer has daily viruses, daily issues. It's maddening.

Yes, the Mac is more expensive but I think it's worth it. Maybe next year we'll upgrade. :)

For $1700.00.. I think that's not a bad price.:)

Daily?? Do you have software protection ? If so which one? You shouldn't be having any problems.

I agree with calif , if you have adequate antivirus software you should very rarely have any problems.

We do have software protection. Which one? Um, I don't know. Don't laugh! :o

There are always glitches. Some days are better then others, most days it's easily fixed, but there are days when everything just falls apart.

Sad thing is, I'm usually the one that fixes it. That's like a cook doing open heart surgery because the doctor couldn't figure it out. :D

Well I never said it was adequate, I just said we have it. ;)

I'll have to ask hubby what we're using.

It's usually his fault we have problems, he downloads crap all the time, and voilà, new virus. :(

Do you have a FREE Antivirus program or a PAID one??

Free. That much I know. :)

I think it starts with an "A", does that narrow it down?

I'll know it when I hear it, or read it in this case. ;)

Avast!

It's Avast. :)

Avast ? If so get Avast Pro and you won't have any more worries. It will even prevent anything he downloads from infecting your system.

Is the pro version free?

I'll look into it. Money is a bit tight right now so can't really be spending it to protect the computer.

Thanks boys. I hope you don't think I'm too computer stupid. ;)

Sorry its not free.

avast! - Download Free Antivirus Software or Internet Security

I just have a regular macbook. It cost me $1200 when I got it. The iMac (the apple desktop) is even cheaper. They still run several hundred more than the average PC, though.

Yikes! That's a bit too pricey right now. Something to think about when we get back on track though. Hubby just finished his last year of school in March, it takes a few months to catch up again.

Thanks for finding it for me though. Appreciate it. :)

I have AVG, it's free and I have never had a virus.
