Let's get one thing straight: Gates changed the world, Jobs followed a distant second for decades. It is the 20 and 30-somethings that are too young to remember this fact and have held Jobs up to the God-like status he currently holds (even posthumously). It was Bill Gates' dream that everyone would have a computer in their homes at a time what this was simply ludicrous. This is what brought Internet into every home. You can debate that Jobs improved on Gates' ideas, but that's not the point. The reason we are all here discussing anything on a message board in the first place is because of Bill Gates. Jobs stole the computer mouse from xerox in or around 1976. Apple and Jobs created Apple I and II by 1977 and built the first GUI based interface for a computer some years later in 1983. The lisa was a colossal failure. Ibm create the first ibm computer in 1981 running ms-dos created by Bill Gates. By 1984 apple released the Macintosh with GUI and mouse. IBM added a mouse in 1987 and windows 3.0 shipped in 1990. I would argue that Gates improved on Jobs ideas or at least incorporated them into Windows which really started the business use of computers. Many home user were buying atari's and comodores and such as well as apples and IBM's with Windows. Gates took it mainstream with Windows that really started the use of computers at home. Jobs also revolutionized home computers with the iMac. A simple machine designed for home users. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/?year=1976

For a 9 year, sounds pretty good to me. He is getting the parts and will no doubt improve many aspects of his playing in later life. As to the bolded part on timing issues. There's my new excuse. I've never grown up!

Just wanted to give a big hell yeah! Still having problems with this but I probably wouldn't be playing at all if not for this stuff. It's on the tips and I am rocking out right now with some new Amplitube Jimi Hendrix Marshall sims

Btw, I don't cuss much, just wanted to reinterate just how FUCKING HARD it can be...

Mixing and mastering is hard. Really fucking hard. Drive you fucking crazy on the rooftop hard. But it is really fucking fun too!

I don't have as much of a problem recording my self playing really. I've always recorded myself playing. I actually still have a tape or two of me playing in the first few weeks of starting to learn. (what this says about me.. ) It is singing that I can't handle recording myself. I totally tense and change my voice. Rarely can I get relaxed and not pay attention to the mic.

sounds good.

Half-a-twenty bookmarks would be AWESOME. see http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/58303-hamer-bookmarks/

Once it gets figured out I would love to pre-order and get a signed copy.

Yea, I know, but the Panasonic looked interesting and we are having to replace ours right now. But we want the over the range mounting to save counter top space and Panasonic doesn't seem to make that model in an over the range mount.

Doesn't seem that Panasonic makes one of those as a over the range model. I wonder if the wall mount kit would work over the Range.

Take a good corn chip, place 4 or 5 on a plate. Cut some nice pepper-jack or plain Monterey jack or just good cheddar cheese on each one. Place one jalapeño pepper slice on each and a dollop of crystal river hot sauce then microwave or 30 to 60 seconds. Long enough to melt the cheese. Enjoy! Also, I wouldn't want to be without one at work since the nearest restaurant is 20 miles away and an occasional break from sandwiches or salads is nice.

HBD!

I can only imagine that a lot of top threes are in there from the little i've seen.

This is unamerican. Bad for the economy! ;-)

My first was a Cruise bass I found used at a Music store in Fort Walton Beach in 1984. An 83. Some pictures from the time. And a more recent shot. Still have it.

Love Prince! Well maybe not love... But really like! ;-)

That royally sucks.

That's all kinds of awesomeness!

Boom!

Those were crazy fun cars!!! My first car. Didn't want it but my dad got a deal from a (crooked) dealer friend of his. Hell, you can't complain about a car as a 16 year old. The stories. Turns out the entire rear end side panels were bondo. Fell off after a small bump. The tire sidewalls were old and soft and the car would shimmy and shake when I went around a corner. And I let my brother drive it to the store and when he came back the shifter was pulled out of the floorboard. Turns out the threads were neoprene rubber and it would never thread back in and stay. One of my oldest and still best friends still remembers the first time he rode with me to a skateboard park. Pink floyd blaring on the stereo. Front wheels shaking on every curve so I would drive straight, turn quick, then straight then turn to make it around corners, all the while the shifter would come out of the floor board and I would have to try to stick it back in while driving. I'm still surprised when I realized that he keep riding with me for nearly a year in this car.

Yea, that is probably my next step. I trying first that which insurance will cover then will try other ideas. I also plan to buy some Apple pectin ala Zen. I know it isn't exactly what he was talking about but eczema is listed as a type of auto-immune disease so hopefully flushing the system may help.
