If stores had their way, it'd be Christmas all year long.

That's WAY TOO EARLY. What are those dudes thinking?
All this time, I thought stores bringing out the Christmas things after Thanksgiving was too early and then...... :rolleyes:

Quote of the day:

Someone (probably the boss) put out a large bowl of shelled peanuts in the break room...

The comment from one of the engineers?

"Well, we work for peanuts, so why not eat 'em?" :hehe:

Just efffing great...

Ok so a person I know is having a Funeral on Thurs. and we use an Apple Powerbook G4. However I don't have it now..

What should I do? Bring my own Pc to work? All they want to do is show a slide show...

In that case I would have to format.

Virtual PC?

nah... she never said what was burned on the disc.. I know it should be pictures.

13 Oct 2005, 04:39 #1527

well, lets hope it was burned as a UDF or ISO, instead of HFS+ disk.

Couldn't you use MacDrive to read those discs on a PC? :headscratch:

Then you should be okay.

13 Oct 2005, 05:00 #1531

yeah, the G4 can read just about any format, except maybe a +R disc.

i'm so confused.. She just says "we need a Pc for tomorrow"

I'd like not to take my pc out if I have to.

i think telling us what exactly she/you are trying to do will help.. that first post was rather vague.

Stupid job pissing me off again, They call me saying they can't get the slidshow int he screen.. I'm trying to tell them step by sttep. She hangs up on me.. I call back, they are like Hello? MIke? And I say YES??? And again they say Hello Mike? I said YES I'M HERE!

Finally they anwser...

SO she asks me where I live and I said I'm 5 Min away, so I go to work and I see they had the slideshow on the screen finally, So I walk in and I say "I see you got the slideshow up"

And right off the bat she gets smart with me saying I should teach her how to run the stuff..

How the F*** can I when you thought you were Smart Shit and took the laptop from the job, so I fired back at them and walked out Beacuse I wasted my time as I have a Job interview in a hour now and I need to get ready.
