Re: Steve Jobs

Thing is, Microsoft is and was a software company. Apple wasn't. That hardly deters from the importance of Apple. Then why bring it up in the first place? As Bill Gates himself put it, Apple built and marketed something that belonged in the home of people, and not a science lab. Other people did it...

Re: Speed of light... Broken!

David, that's very impressive!!!!! I have a hard enough time writing a post on a forum, let alone a Physics book! :lol: You might be interested to know I live in Sudbury then, which probably rings a bell for you because of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, which provided the first direct evidence of...

Re: Steve Jobs

He's just the founder and driving force behind the biggest (yep, biggest) company on earth. Well, 119th place , but who's counting, right? :wink: I'm sorry, but while I can certainly acknowledge his genius and accomplishments, I find his and Apple's importance blown way out of proportion. I mean, I...

Re: Crazy Train: The high life and tragic death of Randy Rho

Amazon says the book will now deliver between August 5th - 20th. Nnnnnnope, I've been waiting long enough. Goodbye Amazon. Anyone know another place I can order that will have the book ship ASAP? I'm ordering from Canada. Many thanks! I cancelled my order with Amazon Canada as soon as I saw that Am...

Re: The drummer video showoff thread !

I usually don't pay much attention to the drummer, but I really like James Kottak of Scorpions. Definitely one of the best drummers for showmanship! I always think of Animal from The Muppets whenever I watch him perform. His solo on the current Farewell Tour (dubbed "Kottak Attack") is esp...

Re: Crazy Train: The high life and tragic death of Randy Rho

Barnes & Noble doesn't list it as available, while Borders carries it, but is back-ordered. I just checked Chapters (Canadian chain) and they actually claim to have stock now! So maybe there's another chain that carries it then?

Randy's Concorde Vs Up Close

Premiere Guitar magazine has put up 20 pics of Randy's original Concordes online. Never saw pics of them taking specs off the black one before, wonder if Jackson's planning a reissue of it too? Maybe that one will only be $8K since they don't have to put the duct tape on it. :lol: http://www.premier...

Re: The Divid

Funny how something you'd think would bring Randy fans together, actually ended up dividing them! Count me in as one who totally enjoyed it and felt it was was worth it. And I can assure you it's not because "I paid for it"! That makes absolutely no sense. If anything, I'd be bitching all ...
