(i could be going to hell for this , but at least i'll be with all you guys!)

Must have been a great sermon! "In the beginning, there was the patch change, and the Lord saw and and that it was good. And on the second day, there was the kernal panic, and darkness crept upon the face of the GUI. And HE smote the bug, and that was good."

Yes, we may be going to hell, but the drinks are better there. Remember: Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go EVERYWHERE!

See you and the cave entrance.

I don't have a manual because I was cold and had to build a huge bon fire with it to keep warm... besides, I thought the quickstart was all I needed!

*yikes!* was the black hole connected to Michael Jackson!?

RCory!

Yes as you perhaps know Michael Jackson has the worlds smallest Swchartschild-radius - hence he is actually a black hole.

I dont have the DP-manual because after my purchase of DP I was contacted by the South African Chamber of Commerce.

They claimed the bush-peoples fron the Kalahari desert were specially interested in chapter about "freezing tracks" and made me an offer I coundn't refuse.

( I mean I've seen the Godfather-movies - you get the picture )

I do have my own manual - honest - and I have read the relevant chapters concerning my problem, but I just thought it couldn't do any harm to ask around and see what everyone else's manuals have to say about it.

I got home tonight and "launam" was painted in red and really large on my wall. I looked in the mirror and it said "manual."

That was pretty scary.

OK while I'm here I might as well ....um... I don't have a manual because my teacher from Berklee College of Music borrowed it and still hasn't given it back.

Man, that's hilarious! And it's one of the best examples I've ever seen/heard of the role of music in setting the mood for a film

Yes it is good isn't it! I think there are a few of these for different films floating around the web.

Sung to the tune of Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know what Time it is?"

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me where's the page that helped with word clock, yeah
And I said

Does anybody really have a manual?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can••™t imagine why
My manual? I gave it to this guy...

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her Digital Timepiece stopped cold dead
And I said

Does anybody really have a manual?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can••™t imagine why
My manual? I lost it, my oh my!

qo!

Shame on you for pretending to make that up.

That's the original lyrics to the song.

James pankow Peter Cetera Terry Kath Danny S & the others had to change those lyrics, into the very lyrics they eventually recorded on the album.

James Steele called them to task, and said that he was thinking about
booting them off this board & blocking their ip-numbers.

As you know James is very strict about any encouragement towards software-piracy.
I quite agre with James, some 120 million records later or so, the boys could darn well afford to get DP legally.
