Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Unguantine, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're looking for some Unguantine at their local Walgreen's.

DR George - I still use XP at work and at home. I'm curious about Vista, but have also heard some horror stories. It's probably not as bad as all that - I think it's mostly driver and compatibility issues. It will be interesting to hear your take on it all.

DR elmore3003 - thanks for the gift of all those wonderful vintage photographs!

Good morning, all! Today, I'm back to the Lincoln Center NYPL, and I first have a stop at Toyland to do some investigations into copyists' handwriting.

Yesterday I managed to lose a stamped envelope I was mailing to AT&T. I decided to taxi down to Lincoln Center because it was too hot and I was too tired of waiting for a bus. Then the taxi got stuck in traffic around the costruction site at 72nd Street, and as the taxi sat there, I watched the meter go from $3.30 to 4.50, so I decided the 104 bus that was finally arriving was the answer. I bussed from 72nd to Lincoln Center, and I don't know if I left the envelope in the bus or in the taxi. I hope someone finds it and mails it for me.

DR tomovoz, BREAKING AWAY is actually a 1979 movie; it was the first film I saw on my move to NYC, and its writer Steve Tesich is the father of my goddaughter Charlotte's best friend Amy.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've decided that coffee is a good thing.

As for the Topic of the Day...

E.T.
On Golden Pond
The Breakfast Club

...And almost any other movie I happened to see at The State Theater in Falls Church, VA., and at Skyline Mall in Baileys Crossroads... Can you say: driver's license?

I use XP Home at home and XP Professional at the office. The reason I didn't switch to Vista was simple. I didn't want to search around for drivers and possibly have to buy a new printer and scanner just because I was buying a new operating system. I also have programs that will not work on Vista and I'm not going to change programs just to get bells and whistles in an operating system. Too many times software companies decide to change and "upgrade" their programs based on their own sense of what the customer wants without talking to the users and you end up with a good program being destroyed in the process. It's why I don't use Quicken anymore. I don't use Norton anymore. I won't use I-Tunes. If I want to download or rip music I don't need I-(Take-Over-Your-Computer)Tunes to do that. I'm smart enough to organize my music (besides I don't keep all my music on my computer, hard drives fail and if that's where you store your music, unless you are backed up from here to the moon, your music is gone with everything else) by myself without the help of Apple or Microsoft or other DR managers.

This is turning into a rant and I didn't expect that at 8:10 in the morning. I'll stop now. I have work to do.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2008, 05:33:27 AM »

but of course it would have already been 1980 here Larry. It's always tomorrow here.

of course I didn't check the dates. (My times usually come from association - I know where I was teaching when I saw "Breaking Away" so for me it was a 1980 viewing.

Of course with that logic "E.T" which I did not care for at all, was a 2004 movie.

Thanks for the correction though.

As for Vista - I'm still quite happily with XP.

I tend to forget "European Movies" I watch as I usually see them way after their initial release date. I did enjoy "Babette's Feast" and "My Life As A Dog"

DP Colin and I just watched "Monster House". It didn't work for us - maybe it is because we don't live in a Halloween culture.

I've still not watched "Cars"!

Just noticed the "Carmen" listing by DR Elmore. I didn't catch up with that until last year!

DR JulieC40 - sorry you didn't get to see South Pacific.

To answer DR Ron Pulliam's question from yesterday, I think only DRs JoseSPiano, elmore3003, and FJL have seen the production so far.

Unless DR Ben has also seen it...I can't remember! $:-\$

Yes Sing, I did see South Pacific. I posted about it earlier. I enjoyed it very much although I didn't see Kelli O'Hara. She had been sick and was out for about a week, including the time that I saw the show (in May if I recall correctly).

Thursday morning greetings! After overdoing it yesterday, I'm back to sit-down work today. And, as I always do on the last day of a month, I've turned the calendars over to August. Of course, I'd just turned my cubicle calendars to July on Monday - sure seemed like a short month!

DR SWW, re: your suggestion of poaching a chicken:

What exactly does poaching a chicken entail? I've never done it to a chicken and it sounds very interesting.
