Lunk

I received a couple of complaints about you. Looked like you were walling. So, I pulled the trigger. I'm sure I'll catch flack for not getting a demo. So, at this time I will see about getting you unbanned.

I apologize for all the ones I accidentally banned. Please post your id's and I'll get them taken care of

Ok, went by the Apple store. They determined the hd was borked. They said they would replace it under the Apple Extended Care and reload the OS for me if I wanted them to. But, they would only put the same size hd that it had. And I would have to leave it for the day and hope they had time to get to it. And they would do it free of charge. Well I had already purchased a new bigger hd that I wanted to use. And they were fine with that. I asked if they had anyway I could get my files off my existing hd. They wouldn't really help with this, because they don't offer that service any longer. But, they let me borrow one of their external hd's with a boot system on it to get my mac up and running. I was then able to hook up my external hd and copy all my files from the borked hd to my external drive. I just installed the new hd and am in the process of reloading the OS. Quite the learning experience. After I get everything back to normal, I will do a backup. Then create my own boot system on another external hd in case I should need to do this again. Thumbs up to the folks at the Apple Store.

Thanks guys. Got an appointment at the Apple store tomorrow since I'm still covered under the Apple Extended Warranty.

So I ran Onyx on my MacBook and while it was verifying the startup drive. It said it was corrupt and to repair it by booting from the OS X install and using Disk Utility. I booted from the install disk. Ran Disk Utility and it aborted halfway thru saying it can't repair the drive. That I needed to backup all my files and reformat the drive. Then re-install OS. Problem is, it will no longer boot up when I restarted it. Just sits there at the gray apple screen with the spinning wheel below it. Is there any way I can retrieve my files? Or do I go forward with the reformat & install OS. Then restore what I can from a 3 month old Time Machine backup? Any and all help is appreciated

My apologies ZD, I did fail to mention this is for my home pc. And Thank You for all the information. It's been very helpful. And yes, I am running a free version anti-virus program on my MAC.

Thanks guys. Im not a big fan of either one. I've been using AVGFree for a while now. But it doesn't have a firewall that I'm aware of. And I'm looking for more real-tine protection for my one remaining pc. As I've gone to MAC for all my other machines. I'm open to suggestions if there are better solutions out there. Thanks again

Of the two mentioned, which would be the better one to go with? As a government worker I can get either one free. Just looking for the best protection with the least headaches. Appreciate any advice on this.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!

Just wanted a chance to respond to this. Seeings how I haven't really banned anyone as of late. It seems a little strange to have to come here to respond to a complaint. You were initially slapped and given a verbal warning about team attacking (myself whom you attacked) because it was the second time you blatantly team attacked. Next round you did it again, so I slayed and verbally warned again. Next round you do the same thing, so I slayed you again. Now I could understand if this was happening in a battle, but you did it right as we left spawn at start of round with nary an enemy in sight. The next step was going to be a 1 hour ban, but apparently you finally connected the dots and stopped team attacking. Unfortunately, I've watched you play when I'm on and you have a pattern of team attacking like this. There are a couple others who do this also. And I think it's just a new group of players playing on our server testing their boundaries so to speak. That's all I have. Peace.

Sad news indeed. R.I.P. Way, May you always have the sun at your back and the wind in your face......

How hard is it to setup Win7 with bootcamp? And what all do you need. I've been thinking of doing this on my macbook.

Actually, the stock clips are 7+1. And that is one of Wilson Combat's Clips. It is also a 7+1. It just has an extended lip on it. Which I'm finding quite comfortable for my little finger to rest against. Went to the range yesterday and ran 150 rounds through it. That new Grip Safety makes it much more comfortable to shoot. The first clip in this list is the one I ordered. http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_magazines_compact.asp

Nice All Killer. Here's a couple of shots with the Wilson Combat Drop in Grip Safety and Pachymar Wrap-Around Grips. BTW Laz, I sent my NA in last Friday and got it back this past Thursday. Less than a week turn around time for the recall.

Laz, check the colt website. There is a recall on several guns made after March 2007. My New Agent is one of them. Here's some of the info. Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC has determined that the Slide Lock Safety and the Recoil Spring Guide Pad in certain Colt model pistols were not manufactured to Colt specifications and must be replaced. All of these Colt models were sold after March 2007 and the range of serial numbers affected by this product recall is as follows: 1911 WWI Replica (O1911) From: 4597WMK To: 5414WMK 1918 WWI Replica (O1918) From: 1001WWI To: 3431WWI New Agent (O7810D) From: GT01001 To: GT04505 Combat Elite (O8011XSE) From: CG10000E To: CG11293E Defender (O7000D) From: DR33036 To: DR35948 Talo Night Defender (O7000NDF) From: NDF0001 To: NDF0400 Colt Recall

That's all been taken care of. Only issue we ran into with it is: When you load the clips with ammo be sure and tap the clip against your hand to make sure all rounds have seated fully against the back of the clip. Otherwise you will have mis-feeds & jams. Because of the tight tolerances with the gun. Other than that it shoots really well for such a small gun. My 71 year old father-in-law shot the center out of the target from 7 yards with the thing. @ Laz, I really like the Colt NA. My groupings are great all within a 2 inch area. I'm just down and left a bit from center on the target. Just need a little more practice. I wish the thing had the Glock trigger on it. My Glock 26 seems to be smoother and easier. Maybe once I fire a few more rounds thru the Colt it will get better. Only shot 150 rounds thru it so far. It is definitely a very nice carry piece.

Well Laz, guess what I picked up the other day I'll be taking it for it's first trip to the range tomorrow. Also my wife picked up a Ruger LCP. Quite the little pocket gun.

Hey Trouble. Welcome Back.

You're easily vexed aren't you.

Replacement, my wife wasn't to keen on me having 2 bikes atm. No room in the garage for 2. I need to get my workshop/secondary garage built for all my tools & toys.

It's a Steel Horse Ya ninny.

Have to admit, it was only 40 degrees here this morning on my ride to work. But it was 72 on the ride home. We had a couple of days a few weeks ago where it was 30 degrees in the mornings, those were a tad cold riding to work.

Picked up a new ride recently. Honda VTX 1300C
