It's strange that after all these years, the next version of Windows out next year will be more Apple like, but without infringing copyright, tells you who got the best marks in class

Keith there is more truth in what you have said, than many have realized, during the 70's early 80's when Bill Gates was demonstrating Worstar and windows 3.1 it didnt work, but he managed to convince IBM that it would in six months, they were so frightened that they would loose their market share, that they went along with it, Steve Jobs at Apple, were more interested in the science and the quality at that time, they didnt have the vision that Gates had, but just look at Apples market share in terms of I-pod sales, and its I-tunes, I just downloaded and upgraded to I-tunes 6 and Quicktime 7, look at the difference, boy its good, also, I have the Video I-pod on my wish list, Gina has the I-pod Nano, but I want her to drool when she shows up next year, and I have the I-pod Video, I went to Apple Store in London to see it, and I have to have one, hehehehehe, stop ranting Pete,.....

Apple are great for document proccessing and such, but they have never kept up with the power if PC's to be able to do video editing the same.

I can render 2 at once on mine, while downloading a torrent, burning a CD, and surfing the Net, all without a flicker, I know that even the latest Apple would melt under that load.

I like the upgradeability of the PC, and I haven't heard when Apple are going to 64bit dual cores yet.

They have very pretty graphics though

Well, I am not thinking that the Phillipines is the worse nor the British as far as I am concerned all countries are good but only the people make it worst.

I still love my counrty and being hospitality of the other Pilipino the only thing I hate most is the TAXI Driver's that they are abusing the foriegners as well as me when we had a hoilday there and even in HongKong we experienced it the chinese driver never gave us our change sometimes it happens in anywhere else place

I usually find the words 'Can I have my change please....or I'll break your ****** neck' Works a treat..... :unsure:

Youre right of course Elsa, they rip us all off, youre quite right to love your country, and it has certain good points, there is good and bad everywhere, its a simple fact of "We are rich and they are not" or "its mind over matter, they dont mind and we dont matter" but I would rather have my lifestyle, than theirs, if they rip me off for a few pesos, here and there, who gives a s.....I can afford it..I just laugh at them"

Like the time the taxi driver wouldnt take me and Gina to the Makati Palace, he wanted another 100 pesos, he made such a big fuss about it, like it was life or death or something, I just said to Ginee give him the damn P100 will you, I am hot...tired after a 15 hour flight, I need a shower and a pizza...but that should not deflect us from some of the great people of the Philippines, who are decent law abiding citizens, like most of my adopted family, my cousins, all over the Philippines, who are decent people you made a good point Elsa.

Hi just thought i would add to the subject.I have been to the Philippines twice now which added up to about 13 weeks and i do agree that some things can be annoying like taxi drivers trying to rip you off and shopkeepers when they see that you are white many times put the price up.But i must admit i loved being there and met many wonderful people who i am still in contact with.I am not sure if its the same all over the Philippines but one of the biggest differences i noticed between there and the UK is how the children behave.The many children i met and alot of them were orphans were so well behaved and had a lot of respect for adults and especially older people which i thought was a welcome change considering how badly children here can be.There is a good chance after my wife comes over here and we are here for a while that i will be going back over to the Philippines to live so i suppose if i learn to speak my wifes language i can argue back with the taxi men

On another separate note can you tell me how and when is it possible to get a photo put on the website...Thanks

you can go to the gallery, up to the top right hand corner of your screen, above "my controls" and then upload your photos.

Hope that helps

I think you did make it a sticky...so whats the problem ? anyway, I had a nice video conference with Gina today, not much happening except she is bored, wants to come home, hahaha, we talked about a range of things, she has gone back to work for a couple of weeks, to keep the boredom rate down, well she might as well, all her freinds work, so if she wants to see them, she might as well work....thats all I have to say about that, as long as my honey is home in Jan, I dont care

Don't forget to tell her to bring loads of dried fish back to be cooked in vinegar :huh:

I love the smell of a burnt out abbatoir in the kitchen in the morning :unsure:

We're getting an extractor fan fitted in the kitchen in the next few weeks, she can then close the door and wait for all the fumes to be removed before joining me for lunch :lol:
