  1. I've been using the terribly-named Cute FTP Pro for ages. It's not free, but it's pretty cheap, totally reliable, and has serious functionality. I just wish they'd call it something else...
  2. Glad to be able to help, J!
  3. toast.net left side, 'Internet Speed Test' Pick 'Shuttle + Text' pick a couple of hosts and click 'run test'.

    Oh well...

    I'm not normally a 'last-word-freak', but wouldn't it be great if these really were the last words in this thread? Enough is enough.
  6. Good Man. Now you get a little treat; here's a link to the best Sub: Best Sub I'm sorry By-Tor, I just couldn't help myself!

    Thank you Gran; this has always confused me, and to have the explanation from you (rather than the on the speculation of others) is all I ever thought was required. A statement like this is never easy - it takes courage to put it up here in public, and for that I commend you. Welcome back Gunnar.
  8. Dear New Guy, Some advice for you: It is perhaps unadvisable to join a new forum, within 24 hours post the ULTIMATE FNG question, and then get [censored] with a dealer (who has been here for friggin' eternity) for giving you a microscopic dose of the ribbing you oh-so-desperately deserve for asking the Best Sub question in the first place; you're lucky Slay didn't see your post... The dealers here do not have the available time to do a song-and-dance sales pitch to every lazy new guy who comes in here looking for a quick answer. More appropriate would be to go to the "Hi! I'm new around here..." section and ask for the photo album information for each dealer. Some nice fellow like Klink is sure to help you out. Go find their Subs, get some pictures of the gen, and compare away. When you think you're spot-on, THEN post in here something to the effect of, "Hey guys, I can't tell the difference between the gen and XXXXXX's LV Sub. Am I missing something here?" You'll get a whole bunch of nice, knowledgeable people pointing out small errors and inconsistencies that will help you make this call for yourself. You will find the above approach will work a bit better to suit your needs...
  9. Finepics is totally correct.
  10. Uh, this is a fantasy Breguet...
  11. No question; I have one myself, but must admit that I didn't know how to use all the functions listed here.
  12. They're not fragile Canuck; mine works solidly well.
  13. Not sure where you're getting that, Ghostface; Josh has sent me information to the contrary. I don't have it handy (deleted from my inbox - kept just long enough to buy one myself), but Google it and you should find some more than favourable reviews.
  14. Excellent post, Spectral.

    I think this is the most valid and concerning point of all. Is he still banned? If so, and he has 4-5 user id's, why is this one not banned as well, and why are we welcoming him without an explanation for his very, very bizarre behaviour? If he is currently in violation of board rules, why are the rules not enforced? I was present for the end of RWGI, and spent considerable time those (last few for RWGI/first few for RWGII) days trying to figure out what the hell was happening. I read all the posts concerning the behaviour, on both boards, and was deeply sympathetic towards the new admins, mods, and everyone else who were awake for days on end trying to keep this little community afloat; a community that I believe is like no other (at least, no other that I have ever come across). Yet when these guys were killing themselves to make sure our little 'Home on the Net' stayed alive, Gran was running around trying his best to wreck everything. I've stayed silent on this topic until now out of respect for Gran's tenor; far more established than my own. But I, like I am sure others, have come to regard this community with affection and pride, and as such, am more protective of it than I might have been if this had not turned into such a wonderful little spot. I'm all for extending the olive branch and a second chance, but I would like an explanation. And I would like it to be public; admin, jraines87, Nanuq, johnnyboy, jonthebhoy, kenberg, offshore, Thor, TomBombadil, and Willith all did their good work in public to keep us going, and Gran, I think you owe it to them to make your explanation just as visible.
  16. Personally, I like the third one from the top.
  17. Good luck Floris!
  18. The clasp is from the 'Wings' line anyway...
  19. Audi TT Coupe (Quattro) for me; CRV SE for the wife.
  20. 196 Daylight with the 7753 movement; fantastic watch.
  21. THAT is funny.
