    Well... I had a go to Taz's house to give him a hand with his truck and computer. But since this computer stuff... Taz's computer is a AMD 3.0 GHz with 1 GB of RAM 2 40 GB and 1 200 GB hard drive for a total of 3 drives. Well the strange part was it was rebooting randomly and behaving poorly. Well I tried reloading the Window to it to repair the issue and found that the main 200 GB hard drive was present but not functioning propely. What I mean by this is the drive was present in the BIOS boot time but the drive won't not read, write or format... So during the install of windows you try to erase the partition and it would not erase (error). Hmmm... So I pull …

    I've seen the thread for what vehicles you own, but how many, or what type Mopars have you owned? A Plymouth was my 1st car, but I started tinkering at 14 and knew at that age that Dodge was an innovator and the first to use torsion bars up front. I just never understood the logic of counter-clockwise lugs on the left side:confused2:. Here's my list: [*]'71 Plymouth Valiant, 198 slant 6 [*]'68 Plymouth GTX, 440/375 hp [*]'73 Dodge Dart Sport, 340 [*]'50 Plymouth Deluxe Business Coupe, flat 6 [*]'04 Dodge 2500 4x quad cab, dsl [*]'06 Dodge 3500 4x quad cab srw, dsl Shaun

    Thought some of you might like these pics. This was on Hi Way 22 in N. Oregon about 40 mi from the ocean. The herd was just grazing and right by the road. The herd was about 50 strong. The one picture with them looking at the camera was caused by my son's 06 Dodge that is straight piped. He reved the engine and the whole herd looked up at us. Never seen a herd that big in numbers.

    Gotta love that job! 2 weeks ago they said we were going to have this monster storm. We got sunny and warm! Yesterday they say 1/2" snow and rain, we got about 5" of snow.. No one here knows how to drive in snow, had to go to the airport a normal 1 hour ride, took 4 hours!

    How long can our once great Republic take a licking and keep on ticking? http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=135&stc=1&d=1262197956 ORIGINAL CAPTION: The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it and noticed it wasn't sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings: 1. The stamp is in perfect order. 2. There is nothing wrong with the glue. 3. People are spitting on the wrong side.

    Apply caution when you get New Year messages in your mail box! A massive attack of the Storm Worm variant called ‘Zhelatin.pt’ is underway with a rather simpler modus operandi, say Security Experts at Micro World Technologies. It begins with emails arriving with subject line ‘Happy New Year’ or ‘Message for new year’. The mail body has a web address chosen from a random list that contains URLs like newyearcards2008.com, newyearwithlove.com, hohoho2008.com, hellosanta2008.com, happy2008toyou.com and uhavepostcard.com. On these websites, a message is displayed which reads as, “Your download should begin shortly…….. Click here to launch the download and press Run. Enjoy!…

I found a great site called Software Patch which is a great place to dwonload updated like Windows XP SP2 without all the BS Microsoft put you through. Or having to hunt down the manufacture of hardware and there web site. Give it a shot its worth it!

    Well more and more I'm running into Windows XP limitations that cause issues. The biggest one is that most all software currently is produced for Windows XP SP2. this is the bare requirement to making windows XP working with other software. But you find that support for Windows XP is becoming extremely limited. Most software companies don't want to mess with a dieing horse so they putting there most effort and design power to Vista 64 Bit and Windows 7 64 Bit. Sad to say the days of 32 bit software is closing fast and dieing...:eek:
