AW, CRAP!
I totally screwed up the QOD!
It's supposed to be what MOVIE has those characters, not what actor portrayed them.
And I had no idea it would be so difficult, I guess because some of those movies are my faves.
I'm going to change a couple things to ratchet it down.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Suitguy is not bitter.

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Thank you so much! I was so upset this morning because I keep messing things up. I figured that, at some point, someone would just tell me to give it up if I can't manage to do it right.ne1410s wrote:Me, too. Thanks for taking on this hassle.peacock2121 wrote:

I know when I offered to do it I said I was just going to throw some stuff together that I already knew and it wouldn't be fancy. Well, it's stuff I know for the most part, but I should have known that I couldn't keep it simple. In fact, it seems like it's the days with the simple concepts that throw me the most!
I won't blame my brain damage, but there is a disconnect between what I think and what I say or write. I know this, so I should be smart enough to write out everything beforehand and proof it 4850683533 times before I post. I'm going to try to do better.
I was going to ask if people would rather I just cadge some questions from somewhere (a la Trivial Pursuit) and ask them, without regard for categories or fancy schmancy. But you three have given me the impetus to soldier on! You may come to regret that. Ha!

I really haven't done much on it yet. A couple of things I like and seem to be easier, like desktop properties. A couple things are going to be hella confusing, like they've done away with the "up" arrow that take you one step up the folder tree, it's a back arrow like in IE now. The way things are displayed is also a little confusing, everything seems to be more vertical now rather than horizontal. Once I get used to it, I will probably thing it's better organized that way.kayrharris wrote:We don't want no stinkin' trivial pursuit questions!
Keep up the good work. Congrats on the new computer. What kind did you get? New stuff scares me. I'm glad to hear someone say something good about Vista.
I don't like the way you shut it down now, seems like an extra step or two.
There's a lot of 'permission to continue' and diagnostic crap and wanting to scan every folder on my flash drive type stuff that's a bit annoying.
It's not a Vista thing, but I love the Office 2007! I've only ever used the spreadsheet in Works and the insert is much faster in Excel and the "fill" function is the greatest thing EVER! The other 95% of it I'll probably never figure out how to use.

I tried that and did not consider it a success. I'm fairly confident that my few players would agree. I vote for you to soldier on.I was going to ask if people would rather I just cadge some questions from somewhere (a la Trivial Pursuit) and ask them, without regard for categories or fancy schmancy.
