I'm sitting here chuckling thinking back to my first experience with Mac...IIRC it was a PowerMac 6100s from 1994ish. The phone company was throwing it away so my dad scavenged it and gave it to me complete with software, a printer, scsi cd reader and a huge 13'' color monitor. :thumbsup: It got me through my first year back at uni, but when I got into the programming classes, I had to finally get my first windows machine. While it's true that the colors looked fantastic on that little monitor, too much of the time it was displaying a sad mac face, or worse yet, a bomb icon! :laugh: I must have rebuilt that system at least a dozen times. Frustrating, but it taught me a lot. I do realize that the h/w and software (7.5.x) that I owned were from a time when quality was questionable/shoddy, and that quality was vastly improved by the time the iMac came out and has only gotten better. That said, I still (illogically I know) hold a grudge and refuse to get an iDevice for myself. (the wife is on iPad/iPhone #8...the benefit being when she has an iProblem, I don't gotta be involved! :laugh: another benefit is to avoid video calls...sorry, doesn't work on my android! :cool:) "Go forth into the source" - Neal Morse "Hope is contagious"

In my twenties I switched to using MekPak, a liquid solvent for polystyrene. You had to be careful, but no "strings" of glue, set faster, and was effectively "welding" the parts together. Applied with a fine paintbrush.

For these, if it's a tech-related field and they haven't done anything wrong, please leave them for now. I agree. If you're a marketing division of a company, maybe you did create a profile here to just sit. But you definitely had to manually acquire the reputation to do so in a meaningful way. Maybe you're checking things out. Maybe you're a company creating a profile because you're doing business with us, and you're getting ready to share your or monitor your paid content. We don't want to accidentally kill those. So things like shoe repair, windows and doors, SEO, sex workers, balloon manufacturers, South East Asian Community for Women's Hosiery. Kill, kill, kill.

This always happens, when you start with a new hardware. After 10 years it goes better. honey the codewitch wrote: I waited a day. Ran it again. It worked. Exactly like Qt Creator installer.

Sounds like a temporary issue our end. All good for you now? cheers Chris Maunder

Is not that amazing? I've been supporting a customer in Mexico, their server is in the NE USA, and I have a meeting with people from Connecticut, Iowa and sometimes India weekly. It almost becomes surreal at times. A very long time ago, I really, REALLY wanted to move to Melbourne, FL (I like to sail). I spent a week in Coco Beach at a training class and fell in love with that place - I love the old times kind of homes. I don't need or do fancy.

Just thought of a follow on ... If an employee (human) said that then I believe it is settled contract law that the company is liable. That is why timeshare (and other) contracts say that absolutely nothing that the sales person said applies. But what about the sentient (non-human) employee?

Apparently VMWare saw your post and decided that their product is worth way way more.

There was a meme in a mechanics forum recently about "getting to the guy who has a bad cylinder fire now that he replaced his ECU chip with one he found on eBay".

You Know it! :cool:

It depends... In some parts of Spain... 4 :doh: M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

lol. No it definitely does not have a USB port either. I know I have at least two computers with parallel ports since I had a old HP Laser Jet that I used for probably 20 years.

It's our remnant ad provider. I'll see if we can get these blocked. They suck. cheers Chris Maunder
