  1. You probably already know this....but In Rock, 'Machine Head' and a few others were released last week in mini-lp format in Japan. Mid-March for the rest of the catalogue.
  2. Same here. I found the PayPal folks to be quick and efficient in meting out justice.
  3. Hard to decide between Workin' and Steamin'.........but my favorite tune would have to be 'No Line' w/Rollins.
  4. Well you need an additional one....a third line of defense just to make sure you're absolutely safe! Start using Twizzlewhileyouwork as well.
  5. <<<<The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, responding to the growing threat of cybercrime to the financial industry, stiffened its guidelines for Internet banking in October, effectively ordering banks to do more than ask for a simple user name and password.>>>> Good.......the standard user name/password combo seems dangerously outdated.
  6. Another decent PJ title that comes to mind is Teddy Edwards 'It's About Time'. I rather enjoy that one. Has this thread been forwarded to Mighty Quinn yet?
  7. It's funny.....if you check Weather.Com with any regularity, they'll usually hedge their bets by listing at least a 10-20% chance of precipitation. Even if it looks like a solid 4-day run of sun & mid-80's they'll dutifully list the 10% just to cover the bases and have some wiggle room. Today, they actually went with a 0% for my area....and it's now raining!
  8. A baby's arm was the murder weapon in the CSI/NY last night......wasn't holding an apple though!
  9. Yes, those early Tubes LPs (Tubes, Young & Rich, Remote Control) really are the greatest -- clever, energetic...everything! ...and yes, I've heard the Hagen version ('TV-Glotzer')......have that 4 track 10" record (Columbia) sitting here in the stax actually. The 'African Reggae' tune on that is also pretty good.
  10. What? They didn't add in The Tubes??? Mental toads!!!!
  11. My advice: keep it in your pants and be a good lad.
  12. How about when you raced around the Central Park thoroughfares wildly pointing your lens at every strip of Christo's bright orange tissu coloré to the point of distraction? You never even saw that baby carriage!
  13. I don't own the box.....it would be nice to see them resurface as rvgs.
  14. Does he have any Michelin 235/60 R-16 tires for a Benz? I need two.
  15. Here to Stay has been out in Japan as TOCJ 4135 in 1994. Long time ago ....one of a mere handful of titles (Sonic Boom, Procrastinator, Street Singer, Jubilee Shout, The In Between? ) that appeared as TOCJs but didn't make the JRVG cut.
  16. Shawn, You're probably living in N. Arlington and getting the primo service........they treat us like bad pennies down here in S. Arlington! Jim S, Yes, they've schooled me in that procedure.....but powering off the computer was never part of the equation. Hmmm. On occasion, the unplug modem & then router routine seems to work. The thing is though, the router is a fairly recent addition and I've been logging calls to these folks well in advance of the time frame mentioned in my previous post. I'd just go with the flow for awhile and live with it....then get re-animated all over again when something really really bad happened -- like losing service just as I tried to cast a last minute bid on a Getz Japanese mini-lp last week! probot57!!!! You dodged a bullet on that one!!! You're a lucky man!! See, God hates snipers!
  17. I'd like to see Dexter Gordon's 'Clubhouse.'
  18. ......ya know, I thought of him when the first meter reading registered a WMD somewhere around 2-feet out from the modem! Now stop egging me on or Johnny will try to get this thread tossed into political!!
  19. Just checked mine 10 minutes ago (connected to router) and it registered 4445 and 676 which is pretty good. I've been having this problem where the signal would suddenly drop and I'd have 15-60 minute blocks without service. I've actually been calling these folks off & on for months about this and they did everything but check the line. One guy actually put 2 attenuators on the modem to dampen the signal because he said it was too strong. Two months later, the next guy walks in and says 'why did he put those on there?' and proceeds to remove them. On Sunday, 'Mr. Upload' hooked the cable to a meter and said that there was something wrong with the actual cable about 12 feet out...some possible damage affecting the signal. He replaced about 20 feet and then re-tested. Same meter reading. He then replaced an additional 25 feet or so and re-tested. Meter now reports a problem some 1,800 feet away. He said that he must have forgotten to re-charge the meter. I started to laugh. So far, it seems to be running alot better but even when I checked it 2 minutes ago, the download speed was registering 6271. Something's going on with the signal.
