I need a better video card. Vimeo clips just don't play very well on my system.

RE my #1, saw Galileo and assumed it was a Space related thread. Though it was a kinda spacey clip.

With that, I shall say a have a good day.

Such is life on the left coast, prices for a house here in L.A. Range from $250,000 on the low end (unless you want to live in nasty gang infested areas) and all the way up to the stratosphere. Thats why we've been in an apartment for so dang long! Even a Condo can run from the mid $200,000's on up no including the H.O.A. fees, which I refuse to pay!
