hehehe... borrow/steal away anytime!! And thank you for the linkage love!!
Aridog... we have a bit in common Sir!! I lived across the Detroit River from you in Windsor, ON for several years... and spent a lot of my formative yound adult life in the nightlife of Detroit! Also, my background - other than my current stint with the Olympics & VANOC - is Defence related (LAV's to be specific)... and it appears my next career path is taking me back into the Defence industry!
~KC~....can you get me a LAV-25 for use here in freeway traffic? Would be perfect for the I-96 stint Lansing to Detroit. Defense is always good....always somebody fighting some where...it's the homo sapien thing.
My military background involved tracked combat vehicles and I did turn down one job offer long ago from General Dynamics when I found out it involved chasing around the Saudi deserts behind tanks as a civilian (unarmed) technical rep. Dang (Not)...I missed Desert Storm. More "opportunities" popped up later, of course, in Iraq and Afghaniland while I worked as a DA Civilian....by then too old, in my opinion anyway. I'd already earned my tee-shirt, so to speak.
I agree with you airfrcewife; I really like the Mac OS more so then the PC one, along with other little improvements that the Mac has over the PC, but in NO way am I a ravenous apple guy. Yes, they are good computers, but end of the day as long as I am working on a computer that does what I want I am fine.
Airdog... I worked for GD for many many years. Too many for my liking honestly. Until I can confirm my next opportunity (two in the works now, one back in SW Ontario and the other here on the West Coast of BC) - I won't say where I want to end up but I am currently entertaining the strong possibility of going back into the Defence & Aerospace industry once again.
My counterpart at Compare/Contrast spent time in Afghanistan as part of the USMC... he too has stories. I was always a civi working as a Defence contractor. Sadly, I just don't have the constitution to do combat. This is as close as I'll get... for now.
Hiya KC and Old Iron. Good spoof! :O) Don't know about the rest of you, but my ears are getting tired from the constant barrage of apple announcements. Even worse than the constant announcements though are the never-ending blathers from apple fans. ACK! Someone make it stop! :OX
I'd actually like to get a Mac, AFW - but I still think it's funny how things like apple products, the whole mac/pc battle, and iphones have gotten people so wound up! I mean - this is just stuff you buy and throw away in about 4 years...it's funny isn't it? People really get their panties in a twist if they feel their favorite electronics are being knocked.
The Apple cognescenti are otherwise known as "Orchard Tenders."

ReplyDeleteJust smile with pleasure as it does what I need without freezing up and being stupid.
