Re: Staggered wheels in stock classes?

I found, like a number of Boxster owners, that running "squared" tires is a pretty good way to go. I can stuff a 245 on the front 7.5" and easily get a 245 on the rear 8.5". It balances the car quite well as a stock option. And then do an alignment based on that. But not many pla...

Re: Cool new HD video camera for us ....

There are a lot of programs that take "shake" out of the footage. Most NLE systems have one built in. And the aftermarket is full of them. A program like Mocha can stabilize almost any image if you want it that way. Dynapel Steadyhand does almost the same for a lot less money. Odds are the...

Re: Debit card breach

I had my debit card # stolen a while back by an employee at a cell phone store. After that, I pretty much stopped using it. Credit card companies usually offer better fraud protection and can float charges for longer than debit cards. Not mention, credit cards offer better benefits (cash back, warr...

ATTENTION APPLE USERS - DON'T READ THIS I can't resist. I have to get one more lick in. WiFi is WiFi to any computer, MAC or PC. But. When I got my first MAC and tried to use the WiFi it took a day of trying to figure it out. What Apple calls a password is not a password but a key code. They are dif...

Re: Ipad/PC wireless?

Go to Fry's and ask them. Seriously. If you have an internet connection already it's just a matter of putting a box on that line. You just need a wireless router hub. You must have a hub already to be on the internet. I'm surprised it's not already wireless. My last 3 from the cable companies were, ...

I'm sure they would love to hear from anyone, but he doesn't frequent the boards much these days. Tom is starting a handyman business so if anyone needs that s...

Re: Attn : GRA event officials

Gee, I don't check the board all day and I then find my name mentioned like, what? 10 times? :lol:

One of the main reasons I got a YS SSS was to add one more layer of back-up to ensure kids can run.

Glad to do it.

Re: Running windows7 on a MacBook

Well, there's no end to this discussion. Apple has about 5% or global computer sales but does make 10% of global computer sales income. They make a lot of money selling very few computers. That's a clue. After 20 years mac has failed to change these numbers. They make a great profit but still can't ...

I have the magic mouse for both my macs. It's really cool, works great, just 10 years too late. I mean, come on, right click and a scroll wheel are THAT hard to come up with?!

Re: Running windows7 on a MacBook

Now that the wife has every mac toy there is, I'm forced to continually get her out of trouble on Apple computers. There is an adapter to let you use a USB cable with the iPad to import from cameras or readers, so that wouldn't be a problem. I still find the mac stuff hard to use. As Rick said, afte...

Re: Renee Angel in the Hospital (Again)

On the plus side, Renee is one of the toughest people I know. So that means she'll kick anything in the arse including this. The down side is she has to. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Have a speedy recovery, Renee. We're all with you. Need something - just ask.
