Sniff, sniff... very sad! DEC dropped the ball with bad management back in the day. I'm retired now but I used to maintain DEC computers and network equipment in a process control environment. The hardware was made to last and the OS was rock solid. It's still running and will be for many years...

No doubt, the C7 will be a great American sports car. It will be a step up from the C6 in performance and refinement. My only personal disappointment is with the styling. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very good looking car. It just doesn't have enough vette heritage in the styling. With...

What? No union bashing yet.

Anybody here that would sign up for this discount? http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2011/03/17/big-brother-save-money-auto-insurance/

UPDATE: I just got it and hooked it up. So far A+ ! I haven't done any tweaking on the router and the call quality is like a POTS line ... like calling next door. It's much better than my Gizmo5 / ATA setup. I haven't setup forwarding my Google Voice line to it yet. Some people have had issues...

This looks like a good solution. NetTalk Duo http://www.nettalk.com/why I might try one.

Originally Posted By: CivicFan I have a MajicJack plugged into an old laptop hooked to the phone lines at home. We hardly use it as it is not very reliable for incoming calls. We can control the outgoing calls - if it is not working then we can unplug/plug back in the USB device. Overall, I...

Originally Posted By: tmorris1 Could you sign up for Google Voice? They give you a phone number. I could but Google won't give you the SIP credentials to setup an ATA for outgoing calls. I want to use a real, (traditional), phone not some usb phone that connects to the computer.

Anybody doing this? How's it working out? I was using my ATA from the defunct SunRocket VOIP provider with the Gizmo project. Now that is going away. Google bought it and is killing it. I did some searching and found Sipgate which offers a similar VOIP service where you can use an ATA, but they...

I have an 2000 CRV I bought new which now has about 56k miles on it. I take very good care of it and I figure it could easily go another 20 years! ... I doubt I'll be around in 20 years. I also have a 2004 Ranger I bought new and it has a whooping 16k miles on it. I really think I -could- go the...

Nice photos, thanks for sharing. I love the dark blue paint on the Z4. I'll be heading to the Chicago auto show in a couple of weeks. I always look forward to it.

My 07 Corvette coupe has been sitting for two months and will sit for two more. But after that winter hibernation is over it's once again, my link to sanity. I absolutely love driving that car! It is a pure all American sports car. It has no other function than driving pleasure. Row the gears...

Back in the day I had a CL450 Honda and I still have the owners manual. It calls for #30 at temps 60 deg F and above.

I guess if I ever need any paint work on the vette, I'll have to ask for expert advice on the forums to make sure the body shop is using a paint that matches the hardness / quality of the factory paint.

Just an interesting note to pass on to those who don't already know. There is a BIG difference in the hardness of automotive paint. I have an 07' vette and the clear coat is so hard that you can buff the living snot out of a light scratch and not even see a difference. But, yesterday I picked up...
