:eek: wow, it cost me more than that to have the AC guy come out on a monday in Miami, for an AC unit that was the condo's responsibility to maintain (units on rooftop part, had a shared chilling tower or something) but hadn't been working for 2 weeks and I was tired of waiting.

It was so bad there, this guy wasn't allowed to work on it but I had to pay $100 for him to tell me the problem. The contracted workers were lazy bums fixed something for 2-3 days and it would quit again. I ended up getting an in room unit that vented out the window to keep my bedroom cool. :mad:

We can do that here. I'm starting to memorize produce codes.:D

I used to be a grocery store cashier and we have the self-scanning checkouts. The computer makes the attendant come over because I enter the codes too quickly ...

I was pretty nifty on the 10 key in banking myself...

Well, Hartmann, I eat my words. They added FW800 back to the MB (well, now MBP).

I had a strange feeling they would, there's just been too much of an uproar after they removed them.

The SD slot will be nice as well.

I should have known... :) The SD slot will be nice - one of those small features that Windows laptops have had for years.

As soon as the store comes back online, I'm going to look in to exchanging my MB.

My camera's so old I can't even find the drivers to recognize the thing online - without a SD slot on my desktop, it would be a paperweight. Then again, it should be a paperweight by now ...

And why my old Windows box runs Slackware.

I've never had any issue running anything on my Mac. The only thing I've even had a smidgen of issues with was the CD included with an old Canon camera. Turns out I didn't need it though...

This is a dumb question that I should probably already know, but are EQP calculated per segment? Meaning, for my ONT - AUS round trip, with a plane change in IAH each way, do I get a total of eight EQP for the trip?

AM2 question: Those that have chosen to buy a 767-200ER, why choose that over a 767-300ER when you get another 60 seats for only 27M more euros?

Edit: Never mind, I just saw the turn time.
