A Universal version of Flip for Mac is imminent. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

You also get the same warranty as a new one. I haven't bought an iPod but a friend bought a refurbed iMac and there is no indication of use on it at all. You can buy refurbs from the Apple Store online. There is a banner that says "Looking for a good deal?" or somethng similar. Just click on it and you'll see what is available. The items available change periodically...they will disappear and then reappear depending on availability...so if what you want isn't there, keep checking as it may show up again. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Having both installed should be ok. I don't know what you can do to have both programs reference the same library of music so that you don't have duplicates of everything....but I am sure there is a way

They were still operating in 1982. I went there several times and also made a jump out of an old Sikorsky piston driven helicopter that they had sitting around. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Do you wear your wedding ring when you jump?
murrays replied to Jeth's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I don't wear mine....to avoid the possibility of debridement...thanks for the pic...that speaks louder than anything I've ever seen on this topic. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey -
Here's another I traded for many years ago...1983 or 4. Anybody know the story? -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Israeli Tanks lined up and ready to roll

From a book description: The Rape of Nanking: An Undeniable History in Photographs tells the story in words and more than 400 photographs of the Japanese invasion of China and the sacking of its capital city, Nanking, in 1937-38. Between December 1937 and March 1938 at least 369,366 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were slaughtered by the invading troops. An estimated 80,000 women and girls were raped; many of them were then mutilated or murdered. THE SAVAGERY OF THE KILLING WAS AS APPALLING AS ITS SCALE. Thousands of victims were beheaded, burned, bayoneted, buried alive, or disemboweled. ---- So, Truman should have what....??? Japan was a nation of fanatics ready to fight to the last person to defend their Islands until the shock of the atomic bombs led them to surrender. It's terrible that it had to come to that but war is horrible and decisions are made that no one should have to make. Faced with sacrificing an enormous number of American soldiers and killing way more Japanese than were killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki Truman made the correct decision. A few photos of Nanking are attached... lovely people those vacationing Japanese. Karma? -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey -

Bill, It is likely that millions of Japanese were saved by the use of nuclear weapons. Had Japan been invaded it would have cost both sides absolutely huge numbers of dead. The Japanese were hardly innocent little babes in the woods undeserving of such harsh treatment....the Rape of Nanking, germ and chemical warfare experiments in Manchuria, the appalling treatment of western POWs, etc, etc. Truman made the correct decision. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey -
Just a guess but I bet the Application Support folder is where the XP partition shows up when you are in OS X. I have a ton of apps on my machine and the Application Folder is 3.47 GB, my Application Support folder is 5.92 gb. Having two OSes on your machine is going to chew up hard drive space in a hurry. Can you return it and get a model with the 120 gb hard drive? I have 250 gb on my machine plus two external drives of 60 and 160...and I still plug them up ... with video and photos and music the space just disappears. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

There is lots of shareware and freeware that will allow you to get the music off your iPod onto your hard drive. Do a search for ipod on versiontracker.com and I am sure you will find lots of options. iTunes won't do what you want. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I can't find anything on the Apple support site about resizing Boot Camp Partitions. I came across a comment that indicates you can't resize the partition: From Macfixit forums... In reply to: -------- The ability to manipulate data and write a new partition without erasing the data already exists in Boot Camp. I have little doubt that Apple will incorporate this into Leopard. ------- Boot Camp doesn't give you the option to create Mac partitions, only Boot Camp partitions (which then require you to erase and format them as HFS+ partitions). The ability to dynamically resize Boot Camp partitions does not exist. ------------------------------------------ Why don't you look into buying a copy of Parallels? Get rid of the Boot Camp partition and be able to run Win XP without rebooting. If you've installed a ton of Windows programs you'd have to do it all over again but all the free space on your hard drive would be available if you use Parallels. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

After reading [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=395046&in_page_id=1770"]this[/url] I wish Zidane had taken out some teeth and broken an Italian nose with that headbutt. Zidane's mother was very ill in the hospital on Sunday and the Italian calling him "a son of a terrorist whore" as well as other racial slurs.... a mother who struggled desperately to raise 5 kids in poverty stricken circumstances...no wonder he finally lost it. Good for Zidane! -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I have no problem with somebody who is actually hurt laying there...but if you say half of them are faking they should be getting yellow cards...they'd get up without the dramatics when they aren't hurt if the referees started doing it consistently. Not keen on soccer....I watched my first World Cup Games in 1998...did nothing for me. In 2002 I had a neighbour from Nigeria that explained the game to me and I enjoyed it a lot more. This year I was really looking forward to watching but as it went on I thought the diving was terrible...followed only by the officiating...the calls and none-calls were pretty bad. I've tried to get interested in a sport that most North Americans don't watch but I have to say that this year will likely be the last World Cup for me. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

That's great Chuck! I bought one for a couple of buddies a while ago that asked: "Can I be on your Ash Dive?" Love it! -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

What's it like to be a parent and skydiver?
murrays replied to shaiziel's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
When I started jumping 26 years ago I was a parent...a divorced parent...and I knew that if anything happened to me my son's mother would take good care of him. I remarried 10+ years ago and have 2 sons, ages 7 & 8 with my second wife. I kept jumping...but I was more careful in that I pulled higher than I used to, bought a Cypres, jumped a conservative main. I always knew that if anything happened to me my boys would be well taken care of. Then, last September my wife was diagnosed with leukemia and I stopped jumping becuase if anything happens to me there is no guarantee that shee will be around long enough to raise them to adulthood. (She has had a stem cell transplant and is doing pretty good so far...but the chance of a relapse is always present). When my kids are old enough I'll jump again but that's 10-11 years in the future at least...and I'll be ~~65 years old. I know several people who jump since having kids and some that quit. Your kids well-being if you buy the farm is the deciding point for me. I couldn't enjoy jumping knowing that I may be orphaning my kids and knowing that we don't have people to look after them that we are totally comfortable with. YMMV. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey -

Zidane... Anybody know what was said/done that led him to lose his cool like that? btw - One of the announcers on the channel I was watching...British announcer...referred to an Italian embellishing hitting the turf near the end of the game as "embarrassing". I'm glad the World Cup is over. I have to say I'm sick of seeing these guys (not just the Italians...although I think they are pretty bad) rolling around on the field like they are dying after light contact. I can't wait for hockey to start again so I can watch guys like Ryan Smyth get 5 teeth knocked out and come back on the ice to finish the game.

I think Tito will win. I get a kick out of Tito pushing Shamrock's buttons. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Guy, I will also buy a bunch. Murrrr

Remember the guy that went to Kitty Hawk with me. R.B. Well he bought one for his mother when she came out from New York to visit. She was so proud of the shirt her little boy got her; she was walking around Perris showing it off. Here's one I bought at the Ranch a long time ago.

I traded for this T-Shirt about 20 years ago...and it was pretty old then. Does anybody know the story behind this awesome Sport Death artifact? I like the Paralert beeping on the high jumper....how long has it been since you saw somebody using one of them? -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

Arvel, That is awesome. I haven't sent or received an e-mail from Guy in a couple of years now. I'll send him a link to your post. I'm sure he'll get quite a kick out of it. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey

I think the shirt being looked for was designed by Guy Maclachlan who has lived in Sweden for a long time now...see attached Guy told me quite a while ago that somebody had the ability to print more but I never contacted him. In the 80's I sold a lot of these shirts. -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey
