    RX100 value

    In that case, the last thing Amazon.de shipped me cost $15 for shipping. Considering the cost of the item, I think that was cheaper than it would have cost to ship it from San Francisco to New York with the same declared value. I remember when shipping internationally was really expensive. No...

    RX100 value

    It's German, Deutsche. You don't need to read German. Google Translate/Chrome works really well converting German pages to English. Probably because English is a Germanic language. I don't even do that. It's just an Amazon page so I'm familiar with the workflow. I didn't realize you were...

    RX100 value

    Here's the link. The price is in euros including vat. If shipped to the US, the vat is removed so the price becomes 278 euros. Converted back to dollars that's right around $300 at the current spot price for the euro. Do not let Amazon charge you in dollars. They offer a horrible rate...

    Free OnOne Perfect Effects 8.

    No need to link through that site and get more spam. All they do is add you to their mailing list and then tell you to go to OnOne. Just go there directly. Also, that site says this offer ends in 13 hours. OnOne has been giving this away since Jan 22 and there's no signs of it ending...

    Worst. Amazon. Shipment. Ever.

    It's Amazon. Don't worry about it. Although if too many things are returned to Amazon they have a tendency to ban people.

    Have you made a Will?

    I would think a revocable trust is a better way to go. Wills are subject to probate.

    a personal Holy Grail found

    There used to be a local San Diego band called the Monroes. The Monroes (American band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For years I tried to find their album. Then one day I was in Denver. I stopped by Wax Trax II. I thumb'd through the M's and there it was. A perfect copy that had...

    I hate PC's!!!

    Exactly, that's how you use quotes. You don't put your own words into someone else's mouth and claim they said it.

    I hate PC's!!!

    I understand. Just to be clear though, I never said those words which quoting explicitly says I did. Those are your words, not mine. Also, there is a keyword here, historically. You are taking a comment about historic reliability and applying it to a discussion about current reliability...

    I hate PC's!!!

    Different manufacturers. Apple doesn't make anything. Their products are made by third parties. Cold solder joints are a manufacturing defect.

    I hate PC's!!!

    Who said "behind PCs"? I've repeated said that the current Macs are the same as PCs since they are well... PCs. They are made by the same people that make low end PCs. Most Dells and HPs are low end PCs. There tends to be a high correlation between best selling and low price. The Lenovo...

    I hate PC's!!!

    That was one of the big things about W7. It recovers really well. If you occasionally think you see your screen flicker. That would have been a BSOD in the past. Now W7 recovers before you are even think anything happened. iTunes is quite a pig under Windows. It's painful. For a company...

    I hate PC's!!!

    There's a reason for that. The Intel Macs are PCs. A rose by any other name. Based off the same Intel reference designs. Same manufacturers. The only difference is software. That's why MacOS runs on pretty much any generic Intel reference design based PC. Sadly, Apple uses the cheapest...

    I hate PC's!!!

    Ah... you realize Macs are now made by the same people that make PCs right? In fact, the manfacturer that makes Macs make bottom of the barrel PC components. I've had Apple products since th Apple ][. Most have failed for the same reason. Cold solder joints. My Lisa died for another reason...
