It might be the weather but...

My Emoticons are all out of whack!

When I type " : D " I get a plain old happy smiley icon

When I type ": )" I get the new Toothless grinny one.

Methinks somewhere somethin got mixed up?

 

[LisaTx]

I think the tag fairies changed the smilies.

 

[Chris C]

Hey lighten up there Lisa!

Ricola is obviously cool... And a cool Mac User at that.

Looks like it's going to be a looooong day here on the tech board.

 

[Cricket2]

Where is that plunger? We have a plugged portal here!!!!!

Seriously, what's up with the whole "no diskette" thing anyway?

JC

 

[Chris C]

I'm really suprised that with all the smooth, graceful, and elegant lines of the entire Apple product line (except for maybe the G4 Cube) that even if you were to "flush" one, that it would even get stuck.

But you made the mess JC. Clean it up...

And what the heck do you need a floppy drive for? There isn't enough room to store anything of value on those darn things. For mid-size backups, Zip disks... bigger projects... CD's and DVD's.

 

[Ricola]

Thanks for all the help, guys.

What's a "diskette"?

 

[Cricket2]

Some people call them "coasters" if that helps.

JC

 

[Psiklops]

Yeah, and if you push a button on the front of your computer, out pops a cup holder!

[jennymouse]

I don't know why I don't lurk over here more often...you techies are an absolute hoot! The funnest board on the entire sight!

 

[Chris C]

You know Jim, I was pretty peeved when they switched the iMacs from the cup holder model to the slot loading thing, especially since I didn't have any of JC's "coasters" laying around the house!

I've solved that little problem though, I just drink my beer "whole" thus eliminating the need to ever set it down.

 

[Psiklops]

Chris, you mean the new "Pop-tart toaster" i-Mac?

- Jim

 

[Chris C]

Hahahaha! I hadn't heard that description yet!

But now that you mention it....

 

[Psiklops]

Then, of course, there's the "World's-Most-Expensive-Desk-Lamp" model:

- Jim

 

[Chris C]

Hey now... I've got one of those Desk Lamps!!!

And it really does shine, you could even say that it lights up my life. (I obviously lead a rather pointless, shallow, & meaningless life to speak of a computer that way )

You know, I just might have to get out my digi-cam and post a pic of Chris' Mac Central...

 

[Ricola]

At least there's some desk left over when you use one of those "desk lamps".
