I've been one for two years and I have zero regrets. I share your sentiment about the delete key, however. You'd think that since Windows has gone and snatched nearly everything about Mac, maybe Apple could get on board with an actual delete key.shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232945031746773775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-21772936465007055862010-01-05T19:14:48.211-05:002010-01-05T19:14:48.211-05:00I had no idea that was a smile.

I found a display set at a novelty store and spent a half hour doing trying to do just one or two of the things I saw in the video. Nada. Nothin'. Zip. I couldn't even get them in a flat strip – there were always one or two of them at the top that made a little loop instead of coming together. <br /><br />They're still cool, but I'm not sure anyone can really make them as cool as they were in the video.Hittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854153452171064331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-20252773316073668232010-01-04T14:49:45.714-05:002010-01-04T14:49:45.714-05:00How funny, I watched Inglorious Basterds on New Ye...How funny, I watched Inglorious Basterds on New Years Eve as well, and paused mid Aldo Raine introducing himself with the terrible Italian accent for the third time, so I could pop open some champagne and toast the New Year.Laurenhttp://lolo-pimpschitt.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-48373010169936741562010-01-04T10:41:13.231-05:002010-01-04T10:41:13.231-05:00Dude, Rosie's looked like that forever, but ba...Dude, Rosie's looked like that forever, but back then she was a comedienne (?sp) so the look worked.

Same warranty, $300 buck cheaper, looked brand new. Sorry about Rosie. I just can't take her abrasiveness and her ignorance.<br /><br />Jen, I'm still waiting for that idea too....<br /><br />Powdergirl, you are so right! Great observation.<br /><br />Ray, yeah even disengaged it was making noises - they just got a lot worse when it tried to turn the compressor. It was frozen up, so I couldn't just replace the clutch. They also don't make a bypass pulley for that car, apparently. So I ordered a compressor online and had it shipped overnight to the garage, and that saved me a $150.00.Johnny Virgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914217086250206369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-20493146079918607112010-01-03T12:21:21.634-05:002010-01-03T12:21:21.634-05:00Hey JV.

So Sears just snipped it to get it disengaged. You can probably replace just the clutch.<br />You will also want to get this done this winter. The AC is activated when you engage "defrost" to clear your windows, or as we say here in the south "winders". The clutch should be cheaper than the entire compressor and clutch. The clutch also means no sucking out the freon (frezzon here in the south again). Which is all a labor charge and all. <br />Merry NY and all.Ray Janeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965985187123647698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-64063769790695239962010-01-03T03:24:55.825-05:002010-01-03T03:24:55.825-05:00Every year, Rosie looks a little more like Ralph C...Every year, Rosie looks a little more like Ralph Cramden, of The Honeymooners..<br /><br />Happy New Year, Mr Virgilanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703233313854600531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-55466113041777185502010-01-02T23:34:04.285-05:002010-01-02T23:34:04.285-05:00If she opens her mouth she projectile vomits all t...If she opens her mouth she projectile vomits all the food she ate in the last 7 days.<br /><br />That is a hell of a start to the comment year for me.colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815606856188669567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-15007583237874584142010-01-02T21:54:32.038-05:002010-01-02T21:54:32.038-05:00I was just looking up the balls to order them.

The Big Guy and I spent last years tax refund on a pair of regular MacBooks (we're just mature enough to know that we're not mature enough to share), and I promise you won't regret it. Since we're not bogged down with umpteen layers of security, these puppies are lightening fast. I wish we had done this years ago. Enjoy <br /><br />I hate to admit it, but there was a time in my life when I was a fan of Rosie O'Donnell, and was in a position to do a huge favor for a member of her show's staff. She got me passes to the show, and seats right up front. That's her fake-it-for-the-cameras smile. If you look at her eyes, you can see that she's not really feeling it. But if she smiles for real, her eyes just disappear completely, an unfortunate facial feature that I happen to share.Upstate Broadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-12154834269035593932010-01-02T13:11:31.239-05:002010-01-02T13:11:31.239-05:00How funny, we were also watching Inglorious Baster...How funny, we were also watching Inglorious Basterds for NYE, albeit an hour behind you.

I would contact a couple AC-specific auto shops and talk to either the service manager if they know what they are doing or the lead tech. Good Luck.
