  1. I'm here now. Which thread is that? I know there have been other problems also but which thread are you talking about in the first post?
  2. You know.....this would have been a better half time show. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=5MtdIO23MKM
  3. I understand. Also, Frontpage is very easy to use but unfortunately is no longer up to date with many browser standards. I still use it some for simple things but I don't, actually never did, use the FP extensions and etc. A lot of them were never really compatible with Unix servers. Like I said though, from what I read, there are a lot of people using it with Windows 7.
  4. I just did some research on this and from what I found, FP will run on Windows 7. I didn't even research it for Vista because I absolutely cannot recommend that anybody go with Vista when they have a choice. I think that Windows 7 is WAY better than Vista. I'm still running XP Pro and will until I upgrade my computer someday. You really should start thinking about moving on from Frontpage also though.
  5. OH OH OH.....I would be SO in for that. You are a GENIUS.
  6. I thought it was a good game. Didn't like the half time show at all but the game was good and I thought that both teams were actually pretty controlled as far as tempers and etc. I am not a fan of either team but was slightly pulling for the Packers simply because I really don't care for Big Ben. There were a couple of calls that I thought the officials missed but when I watched the playbacks, I think they got them right. Very good officiating for once.
  7. I asked him if it could be the modem. He said that it could be but it is rare. You would THINK that he would have tried a different one but he never offered to. Bill...I will take pictures later.
  8. Are you aware that only YOU can see it?
  9. You have that option here also. Thanks for mentioning it because I had actually forgotten. For those of you who really liked it better WITHOUT the signatures, simply go to your UserCP and then Options. Scroll down and you can turn off the signatures, images, etc. as you prefer.
  10. I tell you what Larry...I'll wait with you at the bottom for all the idiots to return.
  11. It's just YOU Eck...I'm hiding my posts from you.
  12. That's a nice write-up Cowboy. Nice pictures also. More pics of the baby sitter would have been great though.
  13. Hey, I really could care less either way about the signatures. It is entirely up to you folks. If the majority would rather see them go away...then POOF...they are gone. You are free to start a poll or whatever to see how the majority feel about them.
  14. Yea, we are having a warm spell. Still plenty of snow though.
  15. Yea, well if there are any pygmies here, I KNOW who to blame. I don't think you LEFT maintenance day last year with all that you BROUGHT. In regards to cable, it is not available at my house. The DSL is about the only choice. It's been really good though and I'm sure they will find the problem if they didn't already. My only other choice is a wireless system that I did have for a few years before DSL became available. It worked fine as long as the weather was good but would be down for a day or two at a time during heavy snow and/or ice accumulation.
  16. I don't think so. I've not run the E3 yet but found the Avon and the Michelin to perform very well on all kinds of road surfaces. I think the Michelin gives a bit more mileage but mine did whine a little in long sweeping curves. Except for that bit of noise, I think I actually preferred it over the Avon. I may try the E3 next.
  17. The only time I have ridden that area was during bike week. I tell you, it was an experience. I would love to go back and ride it when things are less crowded but I also very much enjoyed it during the time I was there. Anybody who rides a motorcycle should try to make bike week at least once during their life.
  18. Yea, I know what you mean. The phone filters was the first thing they wanted to talk about...they were sort of at a loss after I explained to them that I have no hard wired phones and a dedicated line from the box to my DSL modem with NO other outlets connected to it.
  19. I agree with you about the accessories. I've always envied the Harley riders for all the goodies they have to choose from. If we had 10% of what they had it would be great.
  20. I don't know. I've re-enabled the sigs for now. We'll see if it seems to make any difference.
  21. OK...it all started sometime on Friday afternoon. I got home from seeing some customers to find that my Internet was down. My son said that it had been down since around noon. Now I've had this DSL for a couple of years and it has been very stable, I don't think it has EVER been down and if so, for just a few minutes. So, I called Frontier to report the problem. Was almost through all the voice menus and crap when suddenly, it started working again. So I hung up and figured it was a glitch that they had already found. About 20 minutes later, it was off again. I waited for about an hour and called again. This time I finally got through to a tech and he did some checking on my line and etc. He then said that when he entered by account number, he got a pop-up telling him that Frontier was doing service upgrades to the system in my area and that is why it was down. I said OK...well...it would have been nice to receive some advanced notice but anyway, what is the ETA on having it up again. He said..."well...according to my screen...it should be back up by mid April". Now at this point, I was fairly sure that this guy had swam too long in the shallow end of the gene pool so I specifically asked him..."are you telling me that I'm not going to have any Internet service until April and that nobody would feel that it was necessary to let me know this". He said..."yes sir, that is correct". At that point, I nicely asked to speak to his supervisor. A few more minutes of waiting and his supervisor was on the line. She was a very nice lady and asked me what the problem was. I told her what had been said so far and she laughed and said..."I don't blame you for asking to speak to somebody else". She said that yes, there were service upgrades taking place and over the next couple of months there may be brief periods of slowness or very short down times but I would NOT be without Internet for any significant amounts of time. She did more tests and determined that there was indeed a problem with my line somewhere. She submitted a ticket and promised me that somebody would be out yesterday. Now according to my son, the service came back on later Friday evening and it was working fine when I got up on Saturday morning. Around 8:30 a.m. though, a Frontier service tech showed up. I told him that it was working fine right now but he said he would check it anyway. He told me that my service would be off for a few minutes while he checked the lines. He did some tests and told me that there was a problem somewhere with my line and he was going to put a toner on my line and go down the road to find the problem. He showed back up around 2:00 yesterday and said that he had determined that the line was bad down the road and was submitting a ticket to get the cable crew out here. I asked how long that would take and he had no idea but hopefully within a few days. WHAT? I said you know, my service was working fine when you showed up but hasn't worked since then and is still down. So...he said that he would see what he could do, maybe find another pair of wires to use. About an hour later he showed up again and said that all was working fine now. Maybe, but I still had no service. Just a blinking light on the modem showing it trying to connect. He said that didn't make sense because I had full signal at the box on my house. He checked inside the house at the jack where my modem was plugged in and it showed full signal also. He said he was going to make some calls and try to find out what it could be and he left again. He never showed up again and I never heard back from anybody but about an hour after he left, it started working again. So......I have no idea what was wrong. I don't know if there really was a bad cable. I don't know why it was working even when it was showing full signal. I don't know much of anything except that some of these people don't seem to know much about the jobs they are supposed to be doing.
  22. It has the bags of the newer Royal Star Tour Deluxes and the RSV. It does not have the front lowers however. Looks like it is a mixture of aftermarket trunk and fairing, newer Yamaha RSV or RSTD bags.......
  23. Yea yea yea....and where are the pictures of the one you've been working on?
  24. Oh yea....like I would EVER Talk Eileen into doing that. NONONONONO
  25. Not sure that I would like them but it looks like they should work pretty well. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/tucano-urbano-handlebar-muffs/
