I think I just got tired of the same stuff.

OK well, lots has changed here. We now have 1945 trolls instead of 1835.

Ha! If you felt "slagged off" that was all you, not me...that's your own transferrence there...no worries. i'd say everyone's uber-sensitivty has SOMETHING to do with all thsi...but Just my opinion...

Sean!!! THat's great! I'm glad all is well. Not much news here either. I am still here because my job is quite mundane at the moment! We are planning a trip back to Oz over xmas for my sister-in-laws wedding. Good times!! Heard from Mellie recently? I haven't but she must be pretty far along with her pregnancy by now!!! We have been to West Virginia for a family reunion and Virginia for a wedding. That's it!! I am excited because I have HEAPS of FF miles and we are planning a trip to St. Kitts for the cricket world series...IF we get tickets!! I'm glad you've at least popped in for a bit!! A hiatus is fine as long as yo haven't been cheating on us with another message board

Hi! Yeah I took a hiatus. I think I just got tired of the same stuff. Anyways, nothing too exciting to report, marriage is good, went to Colorado, they still have big hills out there. Bought an Imac, it rocks, my dog has a slight limp right now, and I still have my same job. There now, you're all caught up. Have I missed anything exciting? It was that silly 'thank you to all visajourney members' email from Ewok that brought me back here. I need to do a little bit of research as well.

Those iMac commercials are awesome! B) Does it still only have one mouse button though?

Seems pretty much the same to me - a few more trolls maybe now n again (and I like playing with trolls on occasion, relieves the tedium of packing) but other than that..

Pretty much all of us who solely participate in O/T are trolls after a fashion, myself included. But I agree with you that this particular part of the forum has become rather more hostile of late - with topics being hijacked as a way of carrying on with private dislikes rather than discussing things in a polite or respectful manner.

What's happening now is somewhat dispiriting - with people creating new ID's all over the shop and then hiding behind them to post offensive and racially inflammatory information, that they wouldn't post on their regular ID, or for that matter, say in public.

Its disgusting and seems to be intended to ostracise and otherwise insult members of this community who happen to be of a particular religious and ethnic persuasion. There's really no justification for that.

Well I'm everywhere

I like to try and give back some of the advice I got when I first started on this road so I don't just hang in O/T (not that you lot are boring or nuffin' lmao Lots of fun to be had in here)

I get your point about the hide n go seek multiple IDs tho - if I can't say something under THIS (well known) ID then it ain't worth sayin IMO. Either you (general you not you personally) have the courage of your convictions or you don't and if you don't - then

Yeah one button, but I'm already finding my finger glued to the control key on the keyboard, you hold that down and press the one button and walla, there's your right click info. It's gonna take some time getting used to it though. I have no clue how to find a word in an article. As in control F (find).

I am glad to see that someone saw the point of this thread!!! Or at least part of it anyway lol.

What is the difference between an IMAC and an IBOOK. Are they the same? I saw a girl in the airport with one in the CUTEST carryiong case. It's small and cute and I really want one.

Good to see most of the same fun people. Is Arijit still around? I need to catch up on whatever news there is out there that I haven't seen on cnn.

I think it's impossible that we all become the GETALONG GANG or summat...real life has it's disputes, and I act no differently on here than irl. It's how ppl react to it.

I don't think we should all have to walk on eggshells. Just say what you gotta say without trying to intentionally hurt someone, and then be done with it.

But as Karo said, it's a MB...I think perspective on that would be good.

I know that if you hold down the button for some time, you have more options. But all the shortcuts that I'm used to on a PC are different. I used to use Mac's exclusively until I got into the industry that I'm in now and was forced to use a PC. But thank God for Apple to keep raising the bar in terms of features and performance.

Imac is desktop, books are your laptops. I got last year's version of an Imac, which means it doesn't have an Intel chip, but that's ok with me...not enough software out there yet for the Intel Imac.

And sorry Laura and Ian for hijacking your thread. It was inevitable.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Dude...it's a message board...it's NOT the be all end all of our lives...and if it is, well, I'm sorry for you.

Why do we have to sit and ruminate about how it's changed and blah blah blah...it's A MESSAGE BOARD.....

good point. Everything was better in the olden days BTW.

well let's just say, if you are looking for Arijit, then you'll like Gupt.
