*What* a couple of days!!
*HUGE* storms hit Brisbane and surrounds and created havoc all over. Trees
down, houses damaged, car crashes, flooding, rooves missing, power cut...... that was the worst part. Power was out for a good 24 hours, so emergency services kicked in, generators came out, oldies on machines transported to facilities with power..... and *still* the rain came down. And then it stopped...... and the sun came out........ and it was *bloody* muggy!! Luckily the power kicked back in mid morning yesterday, just as I was starting to get dinner prepared for friends we had invited over. It was a bit of a rush, but I managed to get the original dinner plan out to them, with the secondary plan (salad) just waiting in the fridge in case we had another blackout. The main was spit roasted chicken (which was going to be cooked power or no), with roasted potatos, carrots, and pumpkin, and steamed beans, broccoli and cauliflower. With a rich mushroom sauce gravy. Dessert was my High Apple Pie, with Crème Chantilly. Pics in the next thread, as soon as I get them up on Photobucket. -- Peter Lucas Hobart Tasmania A good friend would drive 30 miles at 2:00 am to bail you out of jail.

Drop me an email with your (landline) phone number, and I'll give you a call for Christmas :-) I've just moved onto a new phone system that gives me free unlimited local, national, mobile (only Australian), and o/s calls to 15 countries, which just happens to include the US :-) Which is good as I'm going to be doing a bit of shopping in the US very shortly, and it'll be good to be able to talk to the businesses rather than just email them. http://www.engin.com.au/Voip/Voip.aspx -- Peter Lucas Hobart Tasmania A good friend would drive 30 miles at 2:00 am to bail you out of jail.

And the letter "X" is the Roman numeral for "10", so yes, OS X is OS 10. That's the latest version of the operating system. Is that picky enough for you? :-) -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

And it is still in it's 10th version. There is no "OS XI." You said, "Using OSX would be like me using Win3.1. It can't even run Firefox", which is complete brain fart. And now rather than just admitting it you're trying to backpedal like a weasel making a fool of yourself (again). ObFood: Pork butt roast with baked potatoes and brussels sprouts.
