  1. You're obviously not familiar 'The Barbarian Sublimation' episode of 'The Big Bang Theory':

    Sheldon Cooper: Sheldor back on line.

    Penny: What's AFK?

    Sheldon Cooper: AFK. Away from keyboard.

    Penny: Oh, I see.

    Sheldon Cooper: What does that stand for?

    Penny: Oh, I see?

    Sheldon Cooper: Yes, but what does it stand for?

  2. Sorry - I was AFK when you sent your message. The normal way to get a CD out is to find the small hole on the front of the drive and stick something like a paper clip into it. You probably didn't need to know that as it sounds like you're sorted :).

  3. I've watched the scene a couple of times and no county is given. All the balladeer says is:

    "The most reinforced person in Hazzard was Ms. Mabel, the Mobile Madame."

    and

    "Ms. Mabel's party girls roamed Hazzard in a fancy RV camper."

    After they hear that the cops are on the way Bo says "You were going to move outside of Hazzard County, anyway."

    The cops are obviously not from Hazzard becasue they have to stop at the Hazzard county line. Their cars are the same off-white as the Atlanta cars (probably the same cars), but I think they have a Hazzard-style star on the doors. You never get to see the badges, only the 'Sheriff' sign on the trunk.

    The scene at the end is in Hazzard.

  4. I've never managed to work out the detail on the bottom of the Roseville badge, so I'm not sure whether you'll find it usable.

    I am going to concetrate on finishing the Patrol Cars in Pictures when I have the time. If I find any more logos that are possible for me to do along the way I'll let you know.

  5. Well spotted Brad. The 'slammer' car is a red '61 Mercury: The car Luke is driving in the close-ups is clearly an orange '69 Charger (sounds familiar ):
  6. Happy Birthday MaryAnne :).

  7. It sure does look like Bubba's going to enjoy owning and driving his own General. Congratulations to him for winning The Masters in a great play-off. With an extra $1,440,000 in the bank he can now afford to get gauges working .
  8. Ah - the good old days of loose expansion cards :). Glad that your back up and running, at least to some extent. Hope to chat tomorrow.

  9. I'll probably be around. What time did you have in mind?.
  10. I've been watching 'The Masters' golf tournament for the last couple of days, so my mind was already on Georgia and unsurprisingly Dukes. Then tonight they've been showing a lot of Bubba Watson, so I went to Google to see what he's been up to since his recent purchase. I found the following video of Bubba showing NASCAR driver Carl Edwards around LEE 1 and even taking him for a spin: I also found a slideshow of Bubba talking with golf commentator David Feherty that includes some pictures of LEE 1. There's meant to be a video of the interview that includes The General, but the website just gave an error when I clicked on the link. If it becomes available again I'll post a link. Bubba Watson Interviewed on Feherty
  11. Will you get a mail delivery tomorrow?.

    Signs of Hazzard

    I was flicking through 'Coy vs. Vance' the other day when I remembered to do some screengrabs of the Baxley Sisters' van. Here's my version of the sign on the side. It looks like the motorbikes were done by the same person who did them on the Carnival of Thrills poster - they're similar, but not the same (that would make things too easy ). The color choices seems a bit strange; blue and green used to be a frowned upon combination and the red and blue stripes are much darker than the red and blue in the logo.
  13. He can always pop over to the Irish Boar's Nest. Pubs here are shut tomorrow (Good Friday), but it's the only day other than Christmas day that they shut. Most will open as usual on Sunday. Happy Birthday for Sunday, John.
  14. Whoever it was that said computers would make our lives easier had obviously never used one before ;). I hope the XP disk works out for you. It would be great if you were up and running by the weekend.

  15. Yeah - I still have the older logos. I'm assuming you need them larger than the ones I've posted in Fan Art. I'll collect together the ones on your list that I've done and hopefully PM them to you at the weekend.

  16. The Chip Away could be a BIOS virus which you might be able to cure with by flashing the BIOS from a floppy. It might also be a warning that you were trying to alter the MBR if it occurred when you were upgrading to 98 SE. I hope yo find some sort of solution soon.

    Sorry about your landlady's dog :(.

  17. How's the upgrade going?.

  18. Well done Val. I hope you get a chance to drop by again soon.
  19. After watching the clip on YouTube I went back to my DVDs for a better quality look. The DVDs also help to give context in a longer version of the scene. Watch carefully just after Diane kisses Bo before the race - she reaches to her back pocket to pull the object out. She does this because the object is the gun used to start the race: The other reason I'm sure it's not a mic is that the boom mic they used is visible in the center at the bottom of the screen. You can see it moving from side to side depending on who's talking. If anyone else has a suspected blooper involving female guest stars butts, let me know .
  20. That's good news, and SE is much better than FE. Who'd've thought it would stlll be useful nearly 14 years after it came out :). I hope you're up and running soon.

  21. Have you tried booting in safe mode or is it dead?. It will force the computer to use the basic drivers, but you may be able to work from there.

    Is the computer without enough room for XP a desktop or laptop - if it's a desktop you could probably get a bigger HDD pretty cheaply if you have a computer exchange near you. You can get used 80Gb drives on Ebay for as little as $10 - that should be big enough for XP.

  22. That's computers for you :). When I moved house a few years ago my computer worked fine for a while before the HDD failed. I'd just about managed to reload everything (without an internet connection at that time) when the power supply failed. I replaced that too but it was never right after that.

  23. Welcome to HazzardNet :).
