    Hi Jim.


    It is in the plug. The mini jack end has two channels (one in the tip and one in the base of the plug). They cables goes to one plug each. If you go into an electronics shop or a hi-fi dealer and explain what you are going to connect he will give you the right cable. It shouldn't cost more than a few dollars.

    Yes I have Jim. You'll need a phono to mini-jack cable and find a piece of software to record with. When I did it I used software from a computer magazine, but I would think there are dozens of free utilities that you can use if you don't already have one on your computer. Recording software often comes bundled with your sound card.

    I was going to respond to this thread yesterday, before anyone else had started to discuss the moderating and guidelines, but then I realized that there was something wrong here. Itdo had his reasons for leaving this message board and it seems pretty clear to me that he had no intentions of making a fuss about this. He didn't like the attitude/opinions of some people here so he chose not to post. He is then contacted by a PM, which he replies to and the answer is then posted publicly, which I feel is wrong. I sent a PM to Chester yesterday, but he has not responded to it so I am now pointing this out here. If Chester asked itdo's permission to use this answer then it is okay, but since he has not replied I can't know if he has. Wether things should be moderated or not is a question I will not go too much into, but if you read what itdo says it is people who post things without any foundation that annoys him. Personal attacks against members of the Wayne family might be considered slander and if so it would be illegal regardless of having freedom of speech.


    I know that the answer was posted with the best of intentions, but I still feel it is very wrong. PM's are personal. I am sure that itdo is quite capable of speaking for himself and that he would have done so if this is what he wanted.

    Stupid script, not very good direction, so forgettable that after seeing it yesterday I have already difficulties remembering Back to Bataan. Duke just looks angry through the film.


    I completely disagree. My favorite JW war movie(I haven't seen The Longest Day yet). I saw it nearly two years ago and I still remember the main storyline. I wanted to see it again before commenting on it, but it will be some time before I start seeing them for the second time.

    Pretty much sums it up for me too. Besides I don't really care if John Wayne had to play second fiddle.

    John Cleese. I often like British comedy better than American or anything else. Also Rowan Atkinson and of course Peter Sellers.

    Im sure she has a web site or is that a fan site Popol!!:broken_heart:


    Mike


    You think so? If not maybe Keith can make a section for her on this message board like the "Maureen O'Hara" forum.


    Sorry I made you sick Viper, but the smilies should indicate I was joking.


    Sorry for side-tracking this thread. I shall now leave, my head hanging in shame and let those who want to discuss politics continue to do so.

    I hope people are joking when they say Pelosi is hot. If she gets too close to a source of heat, her botox with break down and you might be seeing someone totally different. That woman is a political machine. I would wonder if she related to the tin man.
    Bo


    Relax Bo. I am actually very indifferent to the woman in every way. There was a short clip on the news here the day she got the position, since she was the first woman to have it.After that she hasn't been mentioned on any news channels I have watched. And believe me, if I was to discuss hot ladies on this message board, I wouldn't have picked her.


    Now Hillary Clinton on the other hand....:teeth_smile:

    I just finished watching this for the first time and once again I am surprised by how good a couple of these Warner movies are. I find this one far better than any of the Lone Star movies, and probably the best one of the Warner movies too. It kept me sitting entertained all the way through. Good story and the "Felipe Guadalupe Constacio Delgado Santa Cruz de la Verranca" character adds the touch of humor that the movie needs.


    John Wayne plays "John Holmes":uhoh: Pity about the name.

    I don't think I'll ever trust IE. Microsoft keep making it harder on p2p users. They hide updates within updates to mess with my half-open connections and my TCPIP settings. Microsoft doesn't let the consumer think for themselves and force changes we may not want. I'll stick with Firefox. Before that it was Netscape.


    Like I said I also like Firefox, but I really don't think that IE has anything to do with your half-open connections. If I remember this correctly they lowered the number of connections to stop virus infected computers to spread the viruses to other computers too quickly. From what I remember the number of connections were possible to change in NT and maybe Windows 2000/ early XP. My bet is that you have run the hack for this(EvID4226Patch.exe), because I remember running this myself after seeing a bunch of error messages in my event log. Every now and then there will come along an update that will replace the file that this hack "fixes". Wether you use IE or not won't matter. Maybe you can avoid this by uninstalling IE alltogether, but my guess is that you won't because I think these are fixes to XP. Anyway you can just run the hack again after you run an update and you are back in business.


    I know you are right about p2p running slower on fast connections because of the limit, but I don't really think Microsoft was targeting file sharing programs. It was just a result of them fixing other problems.


    The point I was making however was that it is good practice to run Microsoft updates if you run XP. I am no expert on this, but the guy resposible for security at the place I work keeps stressing how important this has become lately. The reason is that every time Microsoft discovers a security issue they start making a fix. When they release the fix this becomes publicly known. People who want to exploit the security issues will use the fixes as documentation of how to exploit the operating system and within a few days someone has been able to do this.


    Okay, a long post based on lacking knowledge, so feel free to correct me, but please don't flame.

    Yes there are a lot of great releases on DVD. I get to watch stuff that never makes it here.


    I have bought


    The Dick van Dyke complete series.
    All in the Family 5 first seasons.
    Mork and Mindy first season (silly show, but it brings back memories)
    The Flinstones 4 first seaons
    The Wild Wild West first season
    The Night Stalker complete series


    Newer stuff:
    Seinfeld complete series
    Married With Children complete series


    British:
    Prisoner complete series
    Men Behaving Badly complete series
    Fawlty Towers complete series
    Black Adder complete series


    I might buy the Mission Impossible series when I run out of other series. I'm not sure if they have started releasing them yet, but I know they are on their way.


    Most of what I want is either already released or on it's way, so I don't have a wish list. I do need more time to watch it all though.

    I think all these programs are good even if I only use the same antivirus.


    I strongly recommend updating Windows regularely if you are using XP. Best to let Windows update itself. If you have a legal version of Windows and Office you should uprade to Microsoft update to get the patches for Office too.


    I use Firefox also, but I wouldn't be surprised if the newest version of Internet Explorer is safer than Firefox. I know that Microsoft has put a lot of work into security in the IE7. I expect I will still be using Firefox at home though.

    I have seen this one a few times since it frequently gets sent on TCM. I have to say this is the second worst John Wayne movie I have seen. Only Two-Fisted Law is worse. I like to sit down and watch these simple old odd movies, but this one is a little too ridiculous. It doesn't have the intentional humor that Haunted Gold has either.

    Lutefisk and lefse? Imagine finding people discussing this here. Well I'll stay away from the lutefisk myself. Lefse however is something completely different. It is not a main course. It sort of reminds you of a tortilla, but made out of potatoes.

    Sorry Popol


    Yes, it is Italian. What is print and sound qulaity like?


    Mike


    I have no complaints, allthough I am often satisfied and then see people writing reveiws on Amazon who completely slaughter the same releases . Since it is an official RKO release I think it probably won't get much better than this. I'm certain you won't feel ripped off if you decide to buy it.

    It's not a Dutch release, but a Dutch seller. It's the Italian release RoughRider pointed out in post nt. 6. There is also a link to his site in his signature which has al lot of info on DVD releases.


    Anyway the DVD on ebay looks like the official Italian release. I bought it a while back, but I don't know if it is available now.
