There was sign pointing but it was anti-climatic; she had already agreed to the refund.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Refitted a 12-year old PC with the parts of a 10-year old PC and threw in Windows XP and Kubuntu for good measure. Sure, a lot of the drivers for such old hardware don't exist any more (a RealMagic DVD-decoder card, a 4MB AGP card, a 128-bit MIDI card, an ISA LAN card) -- but it got done and it done work.

:evil:
After doing all that, my dad still went out and got a new PC, immediately got a bout of buyers remorse, then some denial, finally the urge to get another machine despite owning three at this point.

:?
Taking the external parts of the new PC and slapping them on the old tower and, for awhile, convincing him I was a wizard.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

I don't follow sports, but I've always liked the Broncos more than any other football team.

Ticked #1: After 10+ months of drought... crazy rain and flooding today in Houston.

Ticked #2: Started work at 11 AM, just got free at 11:45 PM. Customer still isn't fixed and had to dump it on the morning guy. SQL was a SOB today. :x

Smile #1:

Smile #2: Texted the shy girl I mentioned in the 'are you hitched' thread last night and managed to make a little progress I think. Have her IM and email now and a few messages back and forth when she was at lunch. I suppose the less lack of being face to face helped her be less shy. Hopefully can keep the momentum. :mrgreen:
