DR Matthew, did he not offer to give you your money back?

Looks like he didn't charge me

I was late to the computer world.  I also had web-tv for a couple of years and finally got a Dell laptop.

I remember the "alt" boards.  There was one dedicated to B. Streisand and the crazies took over.

This afternoon I went to the Kennedy Center to see a show called Chicago The Musical.

I have seen Chicago The Musical approximately 1000 times.  No seriously, it must be in the 20s.

Terra C McLeod (sp?), who has been playing Velma for many years, was out.  The understudy went on and was very good.

It's always good to see Chicago.  I think it's been 2 years since I last saw it, so I had forgotten some of the dialogue.

DR TCB I have a friend looking to take an Alaska cruise on Norwegian Sea.  Do you have an input on this ship or cruise line?

The Nevada thing was because of the other guy who owns it with her, but they've always worked out of Ann's state - and yes, I feel the same about that board because people remain anonymous - they're disgusting.  Did I know you'd gotten a judgment against Datalounge?  What was the result?  Did they have to reveal the culprit's identity?  You can e-mail me if you want that info private.

BK - It was a "probable cause" finding that DataLounge had retaliated for my filing a governmental agency complaint against them.  I got the evidence file and their officers had actually had volleys of email talking about doing things like changing my posts to get back at me.

But I wasn't looking for money from DataLounge, just to get the references to my name on their site - which were popping up on google on searches - to stop, so (at my family's request) since they removed those references going back to when they started, I didn't go ahead with the public hearing that was offered, and have had two years of internet peace on their site.  So at this point when my name is searched by potential employers, those stalkery posts don't come up like they did for that long period. 

I emailed you the govt agency determination if you're curious.

So I've noticed.  Not even an apology for his site not being updated when it was obviously his mistake.

First computer was in 1980.  I would have to ask Keith what it....he just walked in.  It was a TR model 3 and he loved it, but then he didn't use it at work. 

A couple of years later we purchased the boys their first computer, a TI (Texas Instruments) something for children.  I had been trying to get Craig to add simple numbers for me, nothing.  The next day Keith came home from work and asked it I knew what Craig was doing on the computer.  I did.  The kid was adding and subtracting like crazy, far higher numbers than I expected, and he was only four.  I loved that computer ;D

What I never imagined is that I would one day have my own computer, something I fought  tooth & nail against.  My first personal computer wasn't until long after we had moved to Ashland.  I would say my current Dell all in one computer is the first one I have been comfortable using.

My first computer when I was in high scool was a Texas Instruments 99/4A, with all of 16K memory!  I think if you wanted to upgrade the memory storage, it would be something like $300...if I remember correctly.

Good night, George, have fun at training.

Thanks, Tom!  The training went well today.  There were more questions than usual because the regular instructor was stuck back east because of too high winds.  She would have been able to keep things on track more than the replacement instructor.  She knew her stuff but hadn't taught the class before, so she didn't have the experience to prevent questions and comments from going on too long.

We did get out earlier than the scheduled time, so it wasn't that bad at all. :)

So, out of the nearly 400 Kritzerland contributions made two years ago, we are down to 56 people who still are owed CDs.  However, at least ten of the 56 and perhaps a bit more than that, are getting their final CD with Two for the Road, so that goes down to 46 - by the end of this year we'll probably be down to under 20. 

Interesting factoids - one $50 contributor has managed to opt out of all nineteen releases that have occurred since the campaign closed.  I've instructed the helper to inform said person that they can either choose three CDs or we will return their fifty bucks, as I don't ever want to see their opt out name again and after a year and a half it's rather inane to even care.  Of all the donations I came to realize that one person and only one gamed the system and got ten extra CDs because of a loophole I didn't see - and a couple of $1,000 donations could have actually gotten the same exact perks for 500 sans baseball jacket - we're finally going to do those - only seven people get them so it's time already.

Since it's all done with, can you say what the loophole was?

I just got a rather rude VM from another Bruce that runs an online CD/LP business.  I purchased something on the site that he no longer has.  He offered a CDR, not tracked, not artwork for $15 and and refused to send me an email (my email address is part of my voice mail message) and if I wanted that to call him back and if I I didn't just forget it. 

I've only been looking for this LP for 20+ years and I'm quite bent over the whole situation.

That happened to me too, but at least the CD-R that I got was tracked and it did have the artwork.  That was even photocopied in color, but not cut very well at all, so it didn't fit the jewel box very well. :-\ I just rephotocopied it and made the artwork look better.

Yes, the rather silly loophole was that for 500 you got twenty CDs - but if you did two separate 250 donations you got thirty.  I should have caught it before, frankly, but it was literally one person.
