I really wanted some better computer speakers and did a bunch of research, but decided I'm not ready to spend the money. The ones i would have bought, though, were made by Edifier. They were a pair of speakers sans separate subwoofer, and included several inputs, including optical and Bluetooth. I

Re: OT: Music

I live in a row house. The neighbors would object to floor-shaking. So, I have my EPI 100 speakers (bought in 1974; woofers replaced 1995), a good Yamaha receiver, a Pioneer turntable and about 300 LPs, a 20-year old Denon CD player, and lots of CDs, almost all classical. My spouse doesn't like

Re: New computer, and a HDD question UPDATE

So, I borrowed a toaster, took the 3.5” drive out of its case (Seagate 2TB in an OWC case), and put in in the toaster. It spins up, makes clicking sounds for a bit, but still doesn’t show up on the desktop =or= in Disk Utility. So, I think it’s a partition table problem. :-( Jan, I have

Thanks Paul. House finches are native to the western US, and were introduced to the east early last century. They first appeared in Michigan and Wisconsin in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Paul > On Apr 1, 2018, at 1:35 PM, Paul Sorenson wrote: > > Very nice...and thanks for the
