Have your lawyer call my lawyer.

Fine. If that's how it's going to be, I will. But I warn you, Pete, my
attorney appears on both TV *and* the back of busses. This tells me that
he knows how to cover all the bases, and will savage your attorney like
a baby in a pit-bull's jaws. Perhaps he will even be responsible for
legislation regulating breeding and ownership of his type of lawyer when
all of this is said and done, though that may ultimately lead to a race
of super-solicitors bent on world domination through creative billing
practices. HE'S JUST THAT GOOD.

And I want my Gary Puckett albums back.

Are MP3s OK?



Absolutely not. MP3, the catamite of audio.


The cat peed on the vinyl, and now I don't want to touch
it.

Imagine my surprise. You said the same thing during our entire
relationship. I gave you the best hours of my life, and this is the
thanks I get.

Story of my life. Always a bride, never an altar boy.



Fortunately, I had copied the albums before he relieved himself on
them, and some of the covers are still dry. I could scan them and embed
them as album art for you, so you wouldn't really be missing out on
anything other than ownership of the (cat-****-soaked) records.

P.S.: None of the above should be construed to mean that I will cease
groping you when we ride the bus together.

Animal.

Just because we're having a tiff doesn't mean that I should have to
compromise my principles.



Principles my ass. Use a sock.

You know, Pete, this is one area in which we agree. MP3s *are* the
catamite of audio. Pegs on a fence are likely involved, too.

But they are the format I have used. Yes, I know - there are many
far-superior alternatives - but the ubiquity of support for the format
means that if I wish to enjoy the soothing sounds of Ethel Merman or the
comedy stylings of Gilbert Gottfried via a multiplicity of devices, it
is the format I must use.

Why would you deny me my music as you have denied our destiny? Can I
not keep at least that one small comfort? WHY MUST YOU ROB ME OF
EVERYTHING, RENDING MY HEART IN THE PROCESS?

I am reaching out to you, Pete. Those MP3s are a token of my affection.
If ever our time together meant anything to you, you will understand this.

I do not control the cat's urinary activities; this was explained up
front. You seemed OK with it, and the time to have said otherwise is
now long past. The wonder of those hours cannot heal the wounds I am
afflicted with now.

Story of my life. Always a bride, never an altar boy.

Look, I bought you the outfit - and as far as I am aware, it still hangs
unsullied in your wardrobe. No, I don't want it back; the memories it
would bring with it are too painful to face. But its pristine condition
is entirely attributable to your refusal to wear it when it was
presented to you (in a rather nice velvet-lined wooden box, I might
add). Much like the cat and his mictural activities, that is something
entirely beyond my control.

Just because we're having a tiff doesn't mean that I should have to
compromise my principles.

I can't. You took them all with you.

Oh, but it does - there have been versions of it under both MacOS and OS
X. Thankfully, Entourage has replaced it these days, though some would
say that's not necessarily an improvement.

Anyway, your headers indicate that you're using Microsoft Outlook Express
6.00.2900.3598; if I'm not mistaken, that's the version of Outlook Express
that shipped with Windows XP Service Pack 2. So we can infer that you're
a Service Pack and a crapload of patches and hotfixes behind current - or
maybe you just really like that specific release of Outlook Express, and
went to great lengths to make sure that it survived subsequent updates.

Either way, either one of those things pretty much nullifies your opinion
regarding matters of a technical nature.

Yes it is old, but it still works just fine. Have fun with your Entourage
thingy.

Dual-boot or virtual machine; either one works. Most folks go the VM
route these days, though there are some cases where only a dual-boot
scenario works for certain things.

But for the absolute ne plus ultra in Outlook Express experiences, nothin'
beats running it under Windows. It's just so completely in its element.

Nothing nullifies his opinion, either way. It's an OPINION. It just
doesn't happen to agree with your own.

If what he's using works for him, his opinion is as valid as your own.

If he doesn't like Macs, his opinion is as valid as your own. There are
significant numbers of individuals here who agree with him. Some, with
more technical expertise than yours.



There was a member of this newsgroup, now passed on, who preferred Win
98. It worked for him, got him where he needed to go. That the rest of the
world disowned Win 98 a decade ago was of no consequence. As for his
technical expertise...He could hold his own in UNIX, OpenBSD, Windows
(through 7), Mac and Linux. And was a developer for a number of them.

He just happened to prefer Win 98. I have no idea why. Nor is it
relevant.

He must have been a glutton for punishment. ;-) Had ME on a computer once
shudder.

My recollection is that Free Agent was decent years ago, but I really
have no idea what the current state of play is with it.

Check out Thunderbird 3; it's free and a decent NNTP client. As an
added bonus, it'll also handle your email quite well.

My iMac, that I bought in 2001, is still running without a reinstall due
to a corrupted operating system! All it has had are OS upgrades along the
way.

Windoze PCs need a reinstall as often as once a year.

Krypsis

The clunker Im on right now is probably almost 5 yrs old, never a reload or
