    - There it is. Thanks. -- (link) - Mop Feb 6, 09:23
  - Thank Fraunhoffer for that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 09:21 1
    - I can rip to MP3 from either of those programs. Why not convert on import? Burn the WAVs to a CD and import -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 6, 09:22
I have a question just cause im looking to get a new cell phone service and phone how many in here have either a crackberry I mean blackberry - eag Feb 6, 09:15 9

- I'm getting a Storm next week -- nm - decline Feb 6, 09:19
- I have the BB Curve. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 09:18
- I do not because I cannot/will not afford the data fees. Those add up to hundreds of dollars every year. -- nm - zork Feb 6, 09:18 1

time for a mini-anti-Wal Mart rant ... have you guys seen the WM 'check cashing' commercials'?... well... - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 6, 09:13 17
- You must wonder how Check Cashing places stay in business -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 6, 09:21 1
  - or why there's a bajillion of them -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 09:22
- To many people, they will gladly pay $3 to avoid the time of going to a bank. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 6, 09:20
- Why rage against Wal Mart for offering a service many people need/want for a lower price than anywhere else? -- nm - Stephen Feb 6, 09:19
- I don't like Wal-Mart either but some people who live check to check need to cash it the day they get it. - Krusty Feb 6, 09:17 1
  - exactly -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 09:18
- they are marketing to very low income people who do not have bank accounts. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 09:17 4
  - It actually a smart business move for WM, I'm thinking. - ty97 Feb 6, 09:19 3
    - Sure, and they assume some risk for bad cheques, but it is offset by the fees. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 6, 09:21
    - absolutely, then they can spend the cash in the store. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 09:20
    - I've never shopped in one but I'd cash my check there. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 09:20
- even 4 chqs/month x $3 and be less than the monthly fees on many bank accounts. -- nm - zork Feb 6, 09:16
- My guess is the service is marketed at people who don't have bank accounts - ty97 Feb 6, 09:16 4
  - or those who don't have enough credit at their bank to avoid a hold on the funds. -- nm - zork Feb 6, 09:17 3
    - yep, and this is why in every low income neighborhood you see check cashing businesses. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 09:18 2
      - Low income? We have them in the best neighborhoods too. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 09:21 1
        
        Yeah, we had them in Round Rock. - ty97 Feb 6, 09:21

  - As for my first it might have been Every Breath You Take. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 09:24

      - I felt like a total ass, because I knew in my head I was laughing. I was bad. very very bad -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 09:22

- I make it a point to ignore almost all of these from my friends. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:05 9
  - i did for awhile. but when i sat down and read others', i thought it was neat, and fun. -- nm - kare Feb 6, 09:09 4
    - Me too. You find out other people are human too, they have foibles and quirks just like you -- nm - con_carne Feb 6, 09:12
    - might be interesting to do some sort of statistical analysis of recurring items... -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:10 2
      - you're such a load of fun! -- nm - zork Feb 6, 09:11 1

- Inside Edition. That's hard-hitting journalism right there. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 09:05
- Obama to Card: "There's white folks..." -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 09:05

HK, this won't help now, but I barely even remember my High School and College boyfriends. You get to a point where all that just evaporates. - Amy Feb 6, 08:59 9
