Well, fellow simmers, I've returned for good or evil. I hope you're
glad to see me because I'm glad as hell to see you.
I just finished getting this new computer to work after spending many
tiresome hours sorting wires, tweaking icons which are totally
unfamiliar to me and wondering why things stop working. I have a long
way to go. I still don't have FS9 installed and I miss it like crazy.
I long for the days when I could just relax after dinner on a nice
flight to Vancouver over the Rockies and just worry about little
things, like crashing into mountains.
I love the new computer and the monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 970P) in
case anyone would like to take a look at it. I'm so looking forward to
seeing the difference in my flying experience which is the ONLY reason
I bought this monster. I truly hope it doesn't disappoint me. I don't
think it will.
One last thing, and I don't want you people to think I'm being sappy,
but of all the things I missed while I didn't have a computer, your
company day after day was missed most of all. I'm glad to have landed
back at my home airfield. I hope to share a coffee and some good
stories with all of you.

Oh, Woody, you should pay attention. I wrote about it just before I
went to get it a few days ago.
OK, but I'll have to be brief:
Asus P5AD2 Mobo (still not sure what that is but it sounds so techie)
P4 3.0 gig (Yeah, I know about AMD but this particular dealer deals in
Pentium).
2 gig RAM
19" Samsung SyncMaster TFT-LCD monitor using 1280 x 1024 resolution
ATI Radeon x1300 video card which was the limit of my budget (I know
they go up to x1600 or whatever but, like, wow.....don't think I need
it).
One of the real neat features of the monitor is the base. It has an
'elbow' fastened to the base which allows it to be adjusted in a
zillion different ways and since that's the way I fly, it's perfect.
Regardless, I gotta like this one because it's all I'm going to have
for a while.
I just can't wait to fly this thing.....maybe tomorrow and I'll make it
a 'tweaky tuesday'.
Let you know how I make out in the air real soon.

Snake,
Soooooooo, tell us. How is your new toy? What did you get? I'm sorry If I
missed it or wasn't paying attention.
Isn't it strange how addicted we got to this Newsgroup. I try to check it
at least once a day. Sometimes, during the week I check my email before I
leave in the morning and then again at night before I fly. Would you believe
I sometimes check this out twice a day...... Only for a few seconds there
M8's lets not get too carried away. Heehaw.

Good to have you back SE. Now get that PC sorted and start flying again. We
all want to know how much better it is! :0))

Hey gringo!
Howsa you doin, eh?
> I love the new computer and the monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 970P) in
That's a beautiful screen, my friend.
And it's height adjustable. Could you be any happier?
I had to set mine on some old boxes to get it to the right height.
I can't believe it's so difficult to get a widescreen LCD monitor that's
not only the right colour but height adjustable too.
But you found one!

Many thanks, Marcel. Yeah, I like the monitor very much. Still trying
to get the bugs out of the computer though and I think it just might
take me a few more days. I'm hangin' tough : )
