email for more details.
Good morning guys!.I enjoyed discussing âmy palâ Comet yesterday! Thanks. Now I am rethinking a second monitor (again). You guys put ideas into my tired old brain!
Gâday Tracy fans. Returned home from a nice weekend road trip. Good to be reminded that Tracy is no homophobe. Equal protection under the law should mean exactly that. Further gathering of facts today, with Lizz treating those files the way Honeymoon treats her toast. A noose was jerked. Now the case is worked.

@Pequod: Welcome back PQ.-âââââ@1Soni: I bet you had a great time also.-ââââ-@Boboscar: Thanks for posting the list.-ââââBe well my friends.
@âŻâŻ Vista Bill Raley and Comet âŻâŻ1) I will say, Bill. That a second monitor is one of the best technological breakthroughs ever devised. I cannot even use a system without dual monitors anymore. An example of my desk from a year or so ago is here.
2) When W8 came out, I went to Best Buy, and Office Depot and tried it. I assure you that Iâve been on computers almost continuously since 1981 and I couldnât figure out W8! It took the better part of a day of research and trying again a few times to work with it. I thought then âThis will be another major flopâ and it was correct.
The problem with Vista was that it was a bad roll-out. They needed another year of testing and adjusting â which of course as you put became W7. It was in essence a last gasp of the âbuy new hardware to support the OS thing. After Win2k computers became fast enough to handle the software but MS didnât hear that it seems. Now W7 can run on systems dating back to 1999. Now Win10 from what Iâve heard isnât worth the time or headaches. My pappy always told me, âIf it ainât broke, donât fix itâ
âEarlier this year I acquired a laptop with W8.1 (yuk!). I never adapted to it. I installed W10 and that still didnât do much for me. That machine is destined for my daughter. Itâs a nice little laptop but I have a larger Dell Latitude Laptop (with Vista)..Some have said that W7 is like Vista SE (second edition).
You kittens are a pleasure to know, if theyâre the right person ;) I know of one 20 year old male that would love a date, and I would freely give - if we wasnât separated by 2,000 miles AND the Atlantic and then there is the money problem :(-
Iâm a one guy lottsa girls all ages man myself. Donât know that THAT will come to pass, but itâs how I would like to Roll.
@Night-Gaunt49I have heard too, that it will be streamed online, I think on CBS.com. Iâve been watching the Flash on CW.com that way and it works, if you have at least a 1mbps download. Although CWâs shot their foot off by insisting adblocking is turned off, and the make matters worse. Even if itâs turned off it still wonât work. I just watch it elsewhere, w/ad blocking on ;)
@Night-Gaunt49That is a good point, about rubbing it in. As you said itâs a [I]learned hatred[/I] and itâs based on [I]learned[/I] cultural mores. Iâve encountered far too many people like you mentioned and sadly itâs not just a Christian hatred. The Native Americans, ones I work with, and grew up with are not as tolerant to us as some may think. Theyâre name for us is âtwo spiritsâ and some cultures actually revere us, some hate. Thankfully I was strongly influenced by Dr. King, and several others early on to hate ones that hate me.
@Neil WickThank you for that. In the meantime the only other program we had to have (IE) is now is not needed by the few hold out companies we worked for. So Iâm hard at work getting the other program working under Linux. I think in 4 years Windows will be gone and the last bastion of our servers will be pure linux too.
Gweedo offered encouragement,I hope you find a way to make it work, Bill and Good Morning !-ââââââââââââââââââââ-.Good morning, Gweedo..I already have one of my spare 15" monitors in place. I like what I am seeing! Now to acquire the necessary hardware to connect it. Thanks for the encouragement!
Well yesterday, he heard that two readers had âceased readingâ the strip ?
Apparently, what had âput them offâ (?) was realizing that George Pataki appeared in Dick Tracy looking at LIFE through the âdead endâ of a biological telescope ?
Theyâd seemed âcomfortableâ with Billâs obsession over Rikki? (no complaints?) and Iâd have to agree Billâ does have good taste !
George patting Brad on the back . . . was a different case, some here, prided themselves as living in a more âunderstandingâ place. In a way, not unlike an âaltered attitudeâ Tracy. who for work now abhors the CHASE (?) ⌠unable to find clues or to identify the culprit leading to efforts to "catching him(her) which was the thing . . . but now INSTEAD conducting (dull?) âinvestigationsâ from one place (maybe two), scene of the Crime, but essentially IN comfortable Office space . . . (Really ?) Well . . .SEEING is âBelievingâ, for thatâs what the panels SHOW (even Pataki there on the back monitor like a criminal in tow)Itâs a âshaping upâ of new Dick Tracy, the modern way to Go !
But in panel 3 a more serious issue has inadvertently been raised by Lizz . . . Like my compatriot with his Death List, Hers and His answers* ?* I Canât wait for tomorrow to find out ??
But I suspect Tracy doesnât have the answer. âWriterâ Mike, hasnât âallowedâ him to find out. Like in that French âterroristâ attack at the Concert Hall in Paris, weâre still waiting to find out who lived and who died !Short changed . . . ? And sadly, youâre left with the âimpressionâ some here defend that unfortunate lack of clarity and substance(and worse - try to âtwist itâ as brilliant writing technique?)
While Tracy, Not for the First TIME, waits in the office ⌠confident that things will ultimately âwork outâ FINE . . .And the must, either by Hook or by Crook ! (?)

Gâday Tracy fans. Returned home from a nice weekend road trip. Good to be reminded that Tracy is no homophobe. Equal protection under the law should mean exactly that. Further gathering of facts today, with Lizz treating those files the way Honeymoon treats her toast. A noose was jerked. Now the case is worked.
