Digital Cameras
WaterB, thanks for the link, and Gameboy, thanks for your input. I have it boiled down to the DC290 or the Nikon CoolPix 990, and I think I'll go with the DC290 just because it's quite a bit less expensive. Thanks again folks, Ski Bum ---------------------------- Sacred cow makes the best burger. -

Digital Cameras
AGGrrSSIVE, What a great nick, some will say that it fits me, but not anyone that knows me. I have a great 35mm SLR, and a good scanner, but like most, I WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION!! and I'd like to toss the extra couple of hundred at new wheels for my new ride. You can take a look at it... -

Buy.com Monitor Fiasco - Case Closed
I replied to Alien privately. If he chooses to make it public, he's free to do so. You are correct that you didn't attack me. I didn't mean for that to sound like you were included. I apologize for the poor aim of my shotgun spray. I snipped the rest as I don't wish to comment any further on... -

Middle Eastern Violence
PsychoticIckyThing, Those folks in that region have been fighting for as long as they've been there. Like you said, the PA was throwing rocks at machine gun toting soldiers, and the Liberals in DC are amazed that once the PA got machine guns of their own that they shot at the IA. The US tries... -

Digital Cameras
I'm in the market for a digital camera, but I really don't want to spend more than $400-$500 US on it. I've seen and used the Kodak PC290 a few times, and I've found a refurb that's in my price range. I'm a little leary of many reviewers especially if they get advertising money from the... -

Alien, Thanks for reinstating that post. I saw it before WaterB deleted it, but I wouldn't comment on it until I thought it over. After it was deleted, I saw no use in commenting on it. I agree with you, but I think you should have taken that up with Pyroxy privately. Evenhandedness would... -

Grades.....Parents........
!the_scarier_one!, I'm with most of the folks in telling you to give it your best shot. Whether you decide to be an English major or not, you're developing writing skills that you will need in a LOT more than just English classes as your education progresses. I've had to write essays for...- Ski Bum

FL Citrus growers fire on Pheds
I would like to add to Pyroxy's statement that the reason the major corporations can trample all over the citizenry with big government as a very willing accomplice is due to large campaign contributions, pac money, and illegal payoffs that **** few citizens can match. The citizens who can match... -

Middle Eastern Violence
possum, the reason we sell armaments to just darn near anyone who can come up with the cash is becuase of a very strong defense industry lobby in DC. That is also something that Dwight Eisenhower warned us to be extremely wary of during his departure speech. ++++++quote from referenced speech... -

, more name-calling <shakes head> You really do want intelligent discussion as long as it doesn't challenge your resident "Expert On Everything" status, eh? I wasn't trying to insult you, just make a humorous point by trading a ridiculous statement for a ridiculous statement. I can see... -

Best processor upgrade for a A-Bit BP6 motherboard?
I know some of you may fall off your chairs, but I actually agree with Dan on this. I just decomissioned an Abit BP6 with dual Celeries, and it was the biggest pile of fertilizer that I've had to deal with yet. It was my Linux firewall box, and it was the most unstable machine that I've ever... -

Buy.com Monitor Fiasco - Case Closed
Not once did I resort to name calling. I do admit to sending a few extremely accurate barbs his way, but only after I was called a liar, a petty idiot, and told to grow up more than once. I would do so again, but I'm tired of Dan's old tactics of putting words in my mouth, and then accusing me...
