Depends on the puter. Mine at work does not do the safe removal thing. So just yank it. Sometimes the icon does not show on my desk tp here at the house, so I gotta just yank it. Sometimes I gotta yank it several times... Last night my wife had me yank it. She was worried that I could not safely remove it and warned me not to pull it out. She said she did not remove it herself because she was not sure if it was ready. I tried to stop it but I couldn't so at that point, I jsut yanked it. Later she asked me to put it back in but I was not ready....wait, what were we talking about?

You could plot out a huge crop circle with the GPS and then mow it into the hay... That way they could see it from space.

More likely stealing a surfboard or running from the jungle yelling tiger.

Okie Dokie. Ketched up. I have to do an interview today and some number crunching. Stven, I may have to call you a little later. I am excel challenged. My partner in Puerto Rico was really good at it. She alway could come up with a formula AND tell me how to fix it when I got the error loop message.

So I am off to the salt mines.

simple fix for home computer...

right click the task bar... click properties... next to Hide inactive icons... uncheck that box and hit the radio button - Customize... Under Current Items or Past Items - left click on Safely Remove Hardware... Select Always show... click OK and then in the original box click Apply... then go back and right click the task bar and select Lock the TaskBar.

WinDoze makes it SO easy.

I was thinking maybe he liked it better than Detroit and the job is earmarked for him and the posted opening is just going through the motions.

Or maybe they finally figured out that there are lots of emth labs up here...

So I am off to the salt mines.

I am NO expert in Excel but have used it to enter a constant in one cell and the variable in another cell and then have it multiply both cells... then have it sum several cells.

I designed an Excel Bidding file that had all the costs for all the materials that we used in a sign, labor charges for different aspects of the job, equipment charges, etc... I would add anything that was completely custom for the job.

The file would then calculate a high and low figure or range for the bid. If properly used I basically built the sign as I entered info into the file... two hour for paint, four hours for install w/ two men and crane... etc.

I also wrote one for calculating my sales tax since I have special conditions for improvements to real property for large signs and do not want to overpay taxes to the state by just charging 7.5% of the entire job... instead I give the customer a bill that indicates all taxes are included. The Excel file then backs out the actual tax due to the state for materials and work done in shop and overhead... blah. blah. blan.

But, certainly. I am not an expert. I know there is a function in help that will tell you how to get it to calculate total hours and minutes for phone calls and then you would have to do something like I told you yesterday.

the United flight left more than 3 hours late and we would have been stuck in DEN

but we made it into PHX the same time as originally scheduled

He is uncomfortable and I think we would be bad friends to let this continue.

We are very sad but we feel it is best. I can hardly keep a dry eye while I type this. :(

13 years is a long time to have such a friend that will give such unconditional love.

I'm sorry that the time has come.

We all have it coming. You are making the right decision.

Have a family memorial event to mark his passing and remember and celebrate the good times.

I decided to have a conversation with him. I would say something to him, he would screech back. Without fail. I think I talked to him for like 7 min or so...

I told him goodbye, he screeched and I rode off as he watched me go.

I don't even know what that means. I tell the OS to eject the drive, wait a few seconds, and pull it out.

nope, SO always has a stash of the real good stuff, imported from Germany in the supersize that for some reason is not available in the US

O.B. BTW

The interesting thing is I could do about 80% of my work from home.




In my underwear.

So 20% of your work requires clothing?

Which one is DD? I think he's the one on the left.
