I find that you can eliminate unwanted mouse spin by using an extended two-finger grip, turning it into a slider.

My relatives had a house cat and barn cats. The cat would get a mouse into the bathtub and swat it and it spun around and around. For some reason a mouse can't get out of the bathtub. Of course they were the ones with the claw feet that when I was a kid were so deep that you could skin dive in them. Problem was the hay from the loft floated over the top and made it hard to see. Especially if you little brothers were really dirty....

Wow.
Was there a question?

Dan,

biab2011 will be released before Christmas, My guess is around the 17 dec, that way the upgraders are happy and so is PGmusic, more money in the coffers.

Some well known posters on here are beta testers and I believe they have been sworn to secrecy or else its a case of the FBI been called in to investigate any leaks.

I saw some names on Wikileaks. But the page is gone, again. It said list of Beta Testers and listed a few Alpha Mails.

Here's the list:

EH.

I don't know, RHarv, sounds to me like you're playing FizzBin.

My 2011 Ultra Pak came last Tuesday by UPS. Note enclosed said that due to me being testy they thought I should evaluate the upgrade so I don't post 45 threads about problems. It came with 700 gigs of new Real Tracks, and a million other updates, WOW!!! LOL

Jeez Louize, mine had way less stuff. I thought bigger was better. But I drive a Mini Cooper. We don't mind your posting, as long as it's not the same post worded 3 different ways.

And you would be on the outs with me for using a weird name, however the canadian 'I'm still playing' hockey mullet gets you props. So it evens out.

At least you admit to being a cheese head, even if you have no name.

I suppose your computer is a green packard by Hewitt with a big bay.

I really hate being unable to sleep and feeling oxy-moronic. The doc says I might have to quit the oxy and go with morphine. I remember better hallucinations on that.

Call PG and tell them you got the wrong copy, or maybe wikileaks stole some of your contents. oh yeah, don't forget my roots are in Toronto, and Tonto was my great grandfather.

I went to uni in TO, 1969. Lived 1st house behind Rochdale College on Huron 1 house south of Bloor. I'd give anything to wind the clock back and sit and eat pizza across the road while the g/f strummed the 16 string and the other g/f drew pencil drawings of me. I moved there in July and had 4 months of amazing weather. Guy sold the house from under us and I ended up at Coxwell Station. Switched to playing pool in Greektown. Reading Plato on the subway. Spending all day at the Music Library instead of going to Hebrew class, got all the way through every Bach Cantata with the score in front of me and almost flunked out. I guess I lived in TO 3 times. Now it's an hour and a half away. And I'm nostalgic big time. I'm just jealous of the mullet. LOL. I lost 1/2 my hair to chemo and it grew back, the patches that fell out are grey and the rest isn't. Weird or what?

Bloor Street West as I recall, I still miss the yellow police cars and the black and white OPP. There was a restaurant on Bloor I think, it was called Baazals I think, they had the greatest omelets. My grand parents lived in Etobicoke, most others lived on Pacific Street. Still wish I could remember where my Mother and family was buried, would like to see that before I die. It isn't far from that Pacific Street area. Do they still have the cadbury bars with four different flavors in one bar? I also miss the mock chicken loaf.

The research to do what you want to find out should take no more than a day. Cadbury, as far a I know, now make a number of bars, but each is homogeneous. For example Caramilk, or Caramilk dark. Mock Chicken is in every grocery store, along with the Macaroni and cheese loaf. I can buy a pound of that and just eat it dipping it in mustard, rolled up. You can stay in a decent hotel in Toronto on the weekends for about 80 bucks. Get an all day all you can ride transit pass for bus, streetcar and subway. Yonge and Dundas square is amazing, looks like Times Square.

You get an address, the city directory at the main Toronto library, and look at who lived there for a year you know. Jump ahead 10 years. If they are gone go back 5 and so on. Find out what year "Susan" is no longer listed but hubby is. Go to the newspaper archives and look for the obit. The burial place should be listed. It's easier if you know of a church, they are usually very helpful.

If I won the lottery (I don't gamble so I won't), I'd have a condo in Downtown Toronto on the edge of the Entertainment District tomorrow. I still might do it if my heath stays static and I can't take the travel easily. I have the summer home up north, but it's no place for old sick men. The outhouse used to be 100 steps and now it's a half mile uphill both ways and the roots on the path stick up 10 feet where they used to be just an inch or two.

Ah, and here I sit, unable to sleep despite the meds, up now for 20 hours. Just me and the ringing in my ears and my feet covered in sand that turns to water....

Better to go out bruised, scarred from banging the sides on the way down, skin worn off, yelling wow what a ride, wearing my old check shirt with the rip, stained with jack pine sap and oil, than going out lily white in a pristine suit with nary a mark. I think I should buy a case of Black Bush and put it in the garage so she who must be obeyed can't find it....this drinking Perrier water is BORING.

My aunt and uncle had a cottage on lake simcoe, I bet that whole lake is condos now! It was a 3 bedroom, bath, cooking area, living room, and a oil heater. What I wouldn't give to go back to those days!!!!!! Could walk out almost a quarter mile and the water was only up to your boobs, but when the wind blew you could almost surf in it. the town was called Breckin, wrong spelling I'm sure. Pushing Sixty the good old days are gone!! When my Mom did the chemo thing, her hair came back all brown, I at 58 still have no grey, except in my beard, and I have a good head of hair yet. My dad was bald by 40, must have been the mock chicken loaf.

I had an old (version 7) BIAB, and was thinking of going to 2010.5. I just called PG and the woman I spoke to said that the new 2011 version was just about to be released, and for the first few weeks at least it would be cheaper than if I got 10.5 now and did the free upgrade shortly to 2011. She seemed to know her stuff, does this sound right - an 'introductory' price for 2011 less than current 10.5 price?? Thanks.

You would be wise to wait until the 2011 version comes out.
The "intruductory price" is usually worth waiting for.

Thanks Lloyd. Since I am thinking of getting the Ultra package where they ship it with an external Hard Drive, and the woman said 2011 has more realtracks etc., that upgrade process could be cumbersome too. So I will wait until 2011 is offered and dive right in.
