  1. All the manufacturers "tech support" guys are dipsh*ts. The only answer they know is their stupid restore disks. If you ran diagnostics on it and it came back with no errors, than I should be able to hook it up to a caddy and copy your data off no problem. I won't have any free time to do it until Wednesday though. Send me a PM if that works for you.
  2. My best buddy Corey got me hooked. Started taking me down to the Highwood in the summer of '06 with my spinning rod set up with a yellow bobber and flies for nymphing.. I think I caught one fish on that rig!! This past year he 'handed me down' an older fly rod combo and took me down to the Crow in April. Caught 4 pan sized rainbows in one hole and absolutely loved it!! Started visiting this site which added to the addiction and the next 11 months is history!!
  3. Welcome gigistrumf!! DBT.. No idea what you're talking about.. 17" cutty: 24" Bully: Rocky of unknown length/weight:
  4. This may help: http://sillydog.org/netscape/kb/mailbackup.html
  5. Is there any way to do these without using ALL thread? (I don't have any red wire right now)..
  6. There must be some files or registry entries leftover after the uninstall that it's seeing and not liking.. As far as running software on a MAC. I don't have any experience with Mac at all really... someone else might be better able to answer your question. I do know that you can install a version of Windows that runs on a Mac, and after that, I don't see why you couldn't run all those programs just like normal.
  7. Send a PM to fishhead.. i'm sure he can give you some advice.

    A Nice Fish..

    Sweet Taylor!
  9. They're able to ruin him just like Pittsburgh ruined Fleury.. Too much responsibility at too young an age! (Although I still have hope that Fleury will be the next Brodeur)
  10. Brad Richards to Dallas and Brian Campbell to the Sharks.. The west is beefing up.. Calgary is going to have to make some moves! (I'd say Edmonton too.. but I've written them off. Mathmatically they're still in the hunt.. realistically they're out.. Especially since they're in the Northwest Division.)
  11. Agreed. Uninstall and reinstall Office from the installation disk. If you don't have a copy of the disk than I'd try the System Restore that Brownstone mentioned (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore) back to the earliest date before you did the tweaks.
  12. Is Brian Niska one of the dudes that was doing Spey casting demo's at the Expo? Younger guy with a toque...?
  13. Peer pressure..
  14. If you can reach 7-9 feet in the air with a roundhouse kick.. I'll call you sir.
  15. Awesome!!! Some day...
  16. My self esteem was hurting a bit so I tried just Ryan.. Came back "Big Ass Fabrizio De Luca". LOL
  17. "Big Fat Giorgio" ... ... I'm going to go run around the block a few times now...
  18. Most people that have had encounters.. sometimes multiple encounters, tend to agree that they don't want to do any harm. They're just curious. That is unless you show agression towards them.. I.E. - shooting at them or something stupid. Here's another crazy one: http://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=22434 I'm not gonna try and act tough.. I'da pee'd myself too!
  19. Sickening! Back home in NS if you take ONE lobster when it's not season they'll take everything you own and have with you ON THE SPOT!
  20. That seems to be the common consensus among the researchers..
  21. The more you read on the subject, the more you realize that there is actually ALOT of evidence for the existence of an unknown North American Ape. I would suggest that if you're really interested in the subject that you read the book "Sasquatch - Legend Meets Science" and also watch the DVD that comes with it. When you have scientists that put aside their prejudice (either for or against) that examine the evidence that come to the conclusion "well, this footprint (or vocalization, or whatever) cannot be attributed to any known North American animal because the pattern of the dermal ridges" or "this vocalization is not a wolf, bear, coyote, elk, etc.. it can only be either a human or a primate that made that sound" and you combine that with the fact that there are so many encounters from all over North America that are so similar in detail.. then it's really hard to say "there's no such thing because we've never really seen one, or seen a body/bones" whatever. Combine with that the fact that there's so much mention of them in Native American folklore.. Yes, there are alot of hoaxes.. and they definitely contribute to the criticism. When people say "Yeah, I know Bigfoot exists because I feed them regularly.. In fact, the alpha male comes to my house, knocks on my door, and asks me for garlic in a gruff voice".. then I'm like "yeh, whatever, get off the crack" - (BTW.. I didn't just make that up.. that IS one lady's story.) However, when you have someone who says "you know.. I don't know for sure what I saw.. all I know is that I've grown up in the woods and I KNOW what bears/elk/deer/etc look and sound like, and this was NOTHING i've ever seen or heard before".. then I'm alot more likely to listen. Especially when they saw that it was walking on two feet for any distance. This is an example of a video that I'm more likely to believe: People can crack jokes and scoff all they want.. the fact of the matter is that new species are discovered in the world all the time.. Alot of times when a hiker or someone gets stranded in the woods, often times it's very difficult to find them.. and they want to be found! If you think about the fact that these creatures are supposed to have near human intelligence, live in remote regions of the forest, and DO NOT want to be seen, then it becomes alot more plausible. I used to think that "it's possible.. but not probable", but then I found out that a very close friend of mine had an encounter: http://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=1400 Listening to your GOOD FRIEND tell the story.. you just can't dismiss it so quickly. I for one am about 95% sure that they're real and I think it's just a matter of time before some good quality footage is taken. Just my 2 cents..
