  1. Simple Text was only for the old OS 9.0 system. OSX 10 up to 10.4 could boot in 9.0, and you could run the old programs. Most of the programs for 9.0 were updated, some were lost. Simple Text was one of them. Text Edit is close, but no Cuban Adobe will do text reading from a PDF file. There are other programs that will read text Garage Band is cool, best thing to do is go through all the tutorials. I have been on a Mac since the first Plastic Fanatic, couldn't do the mag without them! Even talk with Woz once in a while :-)
  2. Like it? I tried to steal it!
  3. There's another forum? WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT??? You mean this thing?
  4. I QUIT
  5. I have loved this for years now. The best place to go is the source: http://www.animusic.com/downloads.html You run this on a second monitor (the 24" of course, the smaller one), turn up the Bose, and enjoy while you work on MCM!!!!! It's great to be king. Thanks for sharing Brandon. I had bought the DVD a few years ago, will get more soon.
  6. e komo mai
  7. HEH, STOP THE PRESSES!!! What about my Big Tub! You guys suck!!! :-) it's great to being King.....
  8. It's great to be king!!!! More pics later tonight. Yes, it has a full engine/chassis.
  9. Okay, you are now known as Sue. Hi Sue, how are you?
  10. My favorite one was this: I called in the radio station one day and told them I had a lost and found I would like to air. They okay. "I found a roll of twenty dollar bills wrapped in a rubber band at Ala Moana shopping center. Would you please call me and give me your address. I need to return your rubber band." Of course, it was the first of April, everyone had a good laugh. Sorry couldn't make the show. I think I did over 20,000 miles in the past four weeks. Great for mileage perks, bad for the body...
  11. Thanks, Jeff! I emailed you, and thanks to everyone for helping out.
  12. Yes please He had that cool orange and black old style shirt, right?
  13. The weekend was a blur. I talked to a great guy, I think his name was Chris He was a vendor in the swap meet, and then saw him in the contest area. He paints R/C bodies professionally I didn't get his contact info. He had his father with him, and three great kids. I could get off my okole and go through all the pics of the models (his daughter built a great PT Cruiser), but I'm just, well, lazy... blame it on the sun! HELP!
  14. Mac G5, dual 2.3ghz, 8GB Ram, 2 1.5 terabyte eSATA hard drives, 3 external HDs, 2 24" monitors It's okay, I guess..... One thing can try is unplug your modem/router for 10 seconds or so, then plug back in.
  15. I have vetted and cleared this thread of a lot of ######. Yes, I can say ######. No ######. You guys better listen up. This is my forum, my baby, my sweat, blood, tears, divorce(s), bankruptcies, and the backbone (ironic as that may be) of my life. It is an extension of what I envision our hobby to be, combining the digital age with the printed paper we love to ###### and read with. (######, can I say that?) Yeah, that's right, the boss is cussing. I have never gone through posts before and edited/vetted them out. I am getting sick of this ######. Stop the bitching about someone else's work! I have thousands of friends in this hobby, and even though I may rub Buddha's stomach, I can honestly say I am blessed with the friendship, love, support, and brotherhood of each and every one of you. But, there are limits to my compassion. I have always let the forum take it's own turns, watched from afar (not above, I am not GOD), and have let the forum run its course. However, it's time to put my slippers down. I'm not wearing my black Italian suit as I say this - it's surfer shorts and barefoot, so this is me. It's not Reverend Gregg (sorry, NNL West and NNL East inside joke) I have gone to more shows than anyone I know of in this hobby. I have met probably over a hundred thousand modelers across the country. I have seen enough model cars to last 200 lifetimes of the average modeler. I have been able to live the model car builder's dream, and I don't take it for granted even for a second. I have seen great models, models I have wanted to feature (and take home in my luggage as well) I have been disgusted by others playing pranks on fellow modelers, playing on their love of the hobby, switching Model Cars photo cards under models that "they" thought were not worthy. But I still photograph them, and sometimes publish them. I have seen the best, and worst, of this hobby. But enough is enough. I am able to call so many of our readers and forum members part of my ohana, and I am able to be invited as a guest to almost every city in this country, thanks to the friendships I have been blessed with over the years. I am not taking sides, although Santiago would probably be able to kick my okole, but enough is enough. If you don't like someone's build, fine, go to the next post, thread, or maybe even forum or web site. This forum, my forum, is an ohana (family in Hawaiian). There is no ohanas (there is no "s" in Hawaiian, so take your hit someplace else) I am sick of the negative posts. I own this site. I pay the bills. I answer to no one, no corporate structure dictating what can and can't be done. It's about my passion for the hobby, and dammit, it's my hobby too! I build, I love Model Cars, and this is my life… take it or leave it. Sorry, Harry, I took over the thread. Santiago, see you here in Hawai'i in November, hopefully my brand new 5,000 sq. ft house will be built by then (divide that by 1/4, on a 3,000 sq. ft. lot, and you can laugh all the way to the bar, on me.....) The price of paradise, 40+ years and counting. a' hiu ho! Okay, I pau…
  16. It's working, they were being uploaded, pau now
