Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download
Sorry to disagree but MS does provide .iso's of their software to MVP's and those who subscribe to their Technet and technet plus services. (I download .ISO's of most all of their products legitimately, evem Windows 3.11 and DOS versions) Mark Minasi is all of the above and if anyone has access to MS products it is Mark.

[CGUYS] Batteries rebuilt
Some time ago, there was discussion on the list about getting rechargeable batteries rebuilt. I can't remember if anyone came up with a link to such a service. My wife came upon a web site by a guy named Kevin Kelly that I've been checking out. (http://kk.org/) He has a section called cool tools where someone put in an entry about a company called Primecell. http://www.primecell.com/ I might try them out for the batteries for an old 7.2V Makita that I've had for about 15 years. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

That they are not indicates that there is a business reason for not doing so, as businesses will not typically long ignore pent up demand. The market here is odd. Japanese and Korean small cars sell well, but little is available on the lower end from Europe. Other than VW, it's mostly high-end cars from Europe. That may be changing now. The Big 2.5 made lots of decisions that seemed obvious at the time. Now we get to watch the political theater of 1.5 of them squealing at the public trough as a result. GM finally got religion (too) late, being that almost all of the their new US models are re-vamped (and much better) Vauxhall/Opel models from Europe.

Good idea--unless you want portable speakers to use with more than one device. We carry an iPod or two on trips, a portable AM/FM-stereo/shortwave radio, and a CD player [for when we buy CDs on the road], so the TravelSound speakers are perfect. Otherwise, Creative and Griffin have good small speakers, as long as you get the ones that use the stereo mini plug instead of the dock connector.

Re: [CGUYS] Spam Blocker
GMAIL Seriously - unless you are running your own server, and you clearly are not if you are using OE, you can't block the spam from coming in to your client. You can redirect it to other folders. You can run certain security programs that will intercept it, but you still have to download at least the headers. I do believe you can get on Comcast's website and tweak up your level of filtering, but they should already be doing that to a degree. It is also possible that your machine is compromised and advertising itself as a target. Do you run active ant-virus? Matthew On Feb 19, 2009, at 3:43 PM, Gail.Miller wrote: Hi ...

I'm a long-time Earthlink subscriber. They do a fantastic job of filtering spam, even at the medium setting. You can choose to have no filtering, medium, or high filtering. High filtering results in a challenge/response system which most email lists refuse to let you use. I wouldn't use it anyway. In a normal day, Earthlink catches maybe 30 spam messages to my account (you can go view them if you want to). One or 2 might get through to me, but I can report them back to Earthlink, and I believe they get added to their automatic filters.
