  1. I agree...nothing says accomplishment like a DateJust
  2. I'd report it if I could read German
  3. Prices on Macs seem to have come down a lot lately...
  4. Laptop: Lenovo (IBM) T60p dual booting XP Professional and Ubuntu 8.10 at home (I generally use Ubuntu with VirtualBox running seamless Vista for when I need Excel to do finance things.) Desktop: HP Pavilion Elite m9400t dual booting Ubuntu 8.10 and XP Professional runs most of the media functions at home and has two 1 TB externals that I store everything off of (sudo server) at work we have almost all IBM's running XP Professional (laptops and desktops) My girlfriend has a newer 17" (I think?) Macbook Pro... thing is HOT (temperature wise)- we took it to the Apple store in NYC and they basically said "yeah, we know...it's a design thing...we stopped calling them 'laptops' because we're afraid we'll get sued if one really overheats and burns someone" That being said, it's a pretty nice computer but I just love the functionality and abuse resistance of my ThinkPad. I'll go so far as to say IBM makes the best business laptops (and I've owned laptops from just about every brand, including Apple) and the trackpoint etc make it invaluable. My work just issued me a new Lenovo R61 and it's nice, but I like the T series much better. EDIT TO ADD: One other thing: Microsoft Office (Specifically Excel, Access, and Powerpoint) are bar non, the best software apps in their class... I have tried just about every other paid app and open source app (OpenOffice, etc) and NOTHING comes anywhere near the power of the Office suite...that's probably one of the reasons it makes up a huge percentage of Microsoft's sales per annum
  5. That's a big watch! Wear it well.
  6. It's never happened to me and I fly often for work...strange to hear that happening though....
  7. I was sure on the first two, iffy on the third but that's just because I've had limited experience with movement analysis...If The Zigmeister says it's gen, it's gen!

    my 201/a

    Gorgeous! Wear it well my friend!
  9. Agreed...some of us have been there Thanks for posting your story and I encourage you to read toad's noob bible very thoroughly!
  10. Freddy said it perfectly - I could imagine certain gen owners would be VERY [censored] if they knew the quality of our reps...
  11. Ha, except in real life, "McCoy" would probably be spelled wrong
  12. I saw that on wwtdd..... she really goes all out!
  13. What sort of favors? Post in GGG
  14. Agreed,,,these articles might just be the most important on the boards...it would be great to include Toad's "Noob" post and the link to The Zigmeister's articles in the confirmation email.
  15. And how could I forget stilty in my listing above! My bad! I did google ETA 2678 and saw the size...I figure it's meant to be 28 - 36 or 24..
  16. Yesterday 'twas a great day for calls and shorting
  17. Neither of them is "Correct". A Rolex 3135 would be correct... Both movements should be fine coming from either of those dealers and if you're really concerned, you can service them but I doubt you'd need with either of those sellers... I'd use the search feature for reviews or comparisons of the WM9 and the Euromariner or wait for BK, tribal, The Zigmeister, or one of the others who specializes in modding these pieces to comment, if they see this thread and choose to do so...As long as it's a 28.8k swiss eta movement, it fits the case, and it's in good working order there should be nothing to worry about
  18. I don't think there is one yet...
  19. Holy [censored]. Toad just earned himself Post of the Year!!!
  20. Agreed...well done L and thanks for putting together what I'm sure will be an amazing guide Toad!!!!!!!
  21. Wow..see what staying up late does to you? I meant vintage jubilee...my bad!
  22. PS- Chief, that PAM chrono is absolutely gorgeous! PPS- Freddy, I'm in AWE of that rollie...the riveted bracelet is amazingly beautiful...that's so well done!
  23. JohnG, you're from Mass? Where abouts? I'm originally from Weston/Sudbury.
