Don't care. Really, I don't. Mac vs. PC is no more interesting than
Windows vs. Linux, Atari vs. Amiga, CP/M vs. DOS, or any other retarded
'my OS is better than yours' argument from either recent times or the

No, no ladders. Some of the rooms had a pulley system installed, but
that wasn't so much to ease access to the facility as to facilitate
access, if you get my drift - and I'm pretty sure you do.

Why was he waiting? Was Donkey Kong at the top with an endless supply

You know, Pete, this is one area in which we agree. MP3s *are* the

But they are the format I have used. Yes, I know - there are many

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.

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?


Because you changed all my iTunes to Ogg Vorbis files.

Damn you.



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.


Our time together meant as much as the rash you gave me at lunch.



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.

I do not control the cat's urinary activities;


Bull****. You installed the spigot.


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.

Good. You can now enjoy the life of antibiotics I've been made to
enjoy.



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.


Typical. It's everyone else's fault. I wore the maid's outfit for
you. But no, that wasn't enough. Then it was the pirate suit. Then
it the "Mr Moose". Then it was Tom Terrific, until you got your dick
caught in the funnel.

Anything for me? Trichomoniasis. And an anaphylactic response to
Tupperware.



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

Principles my ass. Use a sock.

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


Oh, yeah. Well, you can't have them back.

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.

Anyone here use Agent? Is it worth paying for the full version or just
getting the old Free Agent 2.0?



Use Thunderbird. Full version is free.

Used the full Agent since the beta days. I think I started using Agent
when it was Version 0.97. Recently updated to version 6 and have no
issues. Works similarly to a program we used at the office back in the
mid nineties so I have always been comfortable with the way it operates.
Can't see any reason to change now. My only real gripe is that there is
no version for my Mac.

Macs suck

OE dosent run on a Mac.

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.



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.



ME, like Vista, was an absolute disaster!

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.

Thunderbird isn't a patch on Agent and never has been. I use it here on
my office computer and it frustrates me.
Hell, Agent is cheap as chips so why is price an issue?
