*...ranting and tormenting family and friends.*


You? LOL!

[Darksheare]

Naaah. Never I.
I wouldn't do such a thing. .no.. never.
Not one time.
Never even thought of it.
*chuckle*

[SAMWolf]

Spruance was cautious, but at the time (of Midway) risking our only carriers would have been a mistake IMHO. All the Japanese carriers weren't accounted for an even though he won a great victory losing our carriers would have negated a large part of it.

[snippy_about_it]

So what is your sister's FR name going to be?

Darksheare's tormenter? lol

[Darksheare]

That'd be Darkchylde.
She's on the DD thread at the moment cuttin' up.
(Yes, there's a theme with the names. "Online Clan Dark" at yer service, or at least that was the plan once upon a time.)

[Darksheare]

Like how badly we got chewed up at Coral Sea while inflicting hurt?

[SAMWolf]

Yep. We were in no postion to be trading carrier for carrier at that time.

[snippy_about_it]

Good afternoon Victoria.

[SAMWolf]

Good Afternoon Victoria.

I've been having a lot of crashes lately too.

[Darksheare]

Your computers seem to have taken a page from my computer's playbook:
When in doubt,crash it out.

[SAMWolf]

I go through phases. Works fine for weeks and then I get a week of crashes. Go figure.

[Darksheare]

Hmm.. Sounds like windows.
As a techy friend of mine says repeatedly "Windows is like that."

'Course, my experience with Linux isn't all that good either.
Same with Mac.
"I have the knack, the knack for AntiMac!"

[SAMWolf]

And I'm still running '98

[Darksheare]

Same here, because my machien is obsolete and won't handle anything bigger, er.. newer.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Snippy!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Sam. It's working now. :-)

[Darksheare]

machien = machine.

Win98 seems to do that.
As well as miraculously ignore your internet settings and do it's own thing.
Like disable the 'empty browser cache on explorer exit' setting.
It seems to keep ignoring it or disabling it on me.
Repeatedly.
