But do you admit to purchasing a FORD?

Damn right! 2001 Ford F-150 Super Crew. It used to be right along side a
Chevy HHR. Now it sits next to a Dodge Nitro.

Did you have a problem with either one of those? Or maybe my past Chevy
Suburban which I ditched almost immediately for being big steaming pile of
crap. Or my past Pontiac Grand Am? Or my past Chevy Camaro?

Or maybe my wife's old Justy? Her old Rio?

Any of those?

Go ahead wuttle adum, qualify your comment!

Please explain to us ALL how I'm not an expert on what cars I've owned?

If I'm not the expert on what I have or have not owned then who is?

What is it you call everyone? Stupid, dummy? Now THAT is something you are
an expert with!!!
 
I tend to stay away from American vehicles. Since cars are so expensive, I
spend my money on cars that last, don't break down, hold their value.....
Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.....

My Ford has held it's value well (as do most trucks), lasted well and only
the Grand Am ever broke down. I don't stick my nose up at any manufacture
based on location. I buy what's best for me and I feel if a good value for
the money. Aside from the Suburban I've done pretty well.

I'm with you on that one. I got a Prius last fall. Averging 48 MPG.
Instead of panicing and starting to look for a gas station as soon the
low fuel indicator comes on as it common with a SUV, I make a note I
may need to buy gas...maybe next week. LOL!
 
One question about joining the exclusive Plonk club. Does it come with a
membership card that I can proudly show my friends and co-workers? That
would be cool. Also if I could get it laminated, it would last longer.

Thanks
 
My God is Microsoft! Bill Gates is my Jesus!!!!

That should be good for at least another 20 replies! Hehehehe.....oh man, I
love Fridays!!!!

We already figured that one out Justin, you didn't have to spell it out. Oh,
maybe you did? I notice a lot of Wintards hang around this newsgroup.

Love and Kisses,

or perhaps you should get bitch-slapped.

How well a car maintains is up to it's owner.

My Dad happens to be a Ford man.

OK, that explains it. Stupidity apparently is hereditary.

Figured as much. A Wintard like you wouldn't give a shit about global
warming either.

Justin said:
Haha! That's great. Thanks for validating what everyone says about you.

However, I find that you are once again wrong. Personally, I did not
purchase Vista.

Daddy buy it for you or did you pirate it?

Oh Doris, you should stop opening your cute little mouth to simply
change your feet.
Are those Manolo Blahnik you're wearing? They from Rock? He would be
very upset if he knew they went into your mouth!
Shame on you! And don't fret so much over MS not wanting you. The
Silicon Valley is full of opportunities.
At least it used to be.

I have just upgraded all our PCs to Vista and now sometimes I wish I hadn't
bothered.

Despite the fact that all our PC's are now brand new Vista 'Originals',
everything seems much slower than with XP. The constant nagging screens to
confirm this and that (yes I know you can turn it off), the persistent
scrolling 'doing something' circle, more frequent lockups, and a hard drive
that is working for England (you sould sit in an office full of Vista
machines - there is not a moment's peace).

OK we have Aero, it looks a bit nicer, but it is slower than XP in almost
every way and how many of us have ever used the pretty scrolling thingy to
move between apps?

Something inside me tells me that Vista is not a huge leap forward for the
general user, more like a polite step sideways.

Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed.

What anti-virus software are you running? If its running realtime
checks, it could be affecting your system performance. Some
anti-spyware programs can also be resource hogs.

What programs are running when you startup ? Bring up the task
manager and check to see what programs are using up memory & CPU.

A bad video driver can also be a problem. Try to find an updated
version. What video card are you using? if it s onboard, you might
want to install a PCI express card on one machine and see if that
helps.

Did you do an "update" or a clean instal? Try a clean install on one
machine and see if that makes adifference.

Turn Aero off and see if that helps.
