    Re: mining - the next bubble?

    Jim, I was change adverse too when an old familiar forum changed format using a different format. But check out a few other forums yourself that use the newer format.

    It may look different and takes about all of about 15 minutes to get used to but it is immensely easier.

      Biscayne -

      I'm like Jim, I dislike change. There are probably a good number of us hopeless retrogrades around, when you really shake the bushes. We can't really be helped, we are the faulty models that came off the assembly line missing the modernising gene.

      Everytime Mr. Softie comes out with a new Microsoft operating system for example, I grind my teeth and think murderous thoughts.

        Greg,

        All I do, almost, is read and ~75% of that is iTulip. Shit, I expect if some of you guys who seem to hit and read the entire internet everyday cross something important then you will post it on iTulip.

        That is what I try to do for the few sites I visit most days.

        I'm like Lukester only in the sense of new versions of Microsoft Office. I cannot bear to start learning a whole new scheme.

        EJ, and the four Freds, do not give into changing this mother known as iTulip.

          I counted 2.5 FREDS.













          [ P.S. - E.J. and the FREDS : Sounds like one of those college dayz reunion bands that used to rehearse in the garage every Saturday morning. You could hear them halfway down the block in every suburb in America. ]

              Jim (and Lukester) Well, now we know your problem. You guys are PC users!
              Just buy a mac and be happy! (shameless plug)

              Now if you think you might overload with a new forum format, just wait until you try a new operating system from a new vendor.

                  Well, it's like a PC except that it works and isn't so ugly you have to wear dark glasses when you use it.

                    My PC works fine. It runs WORMDOWS home-cave edition.

                    Every evening when I get home, I crank the power handle sticking out the side and reach inside the basket for messages. You can hear them clunking in when you turn the handle. You can pull out clay tablets containing cuneiform script messages received during the day.

                    It's really modern so we give it pride of place in the center of the cave next to the hearth and the stone BAAL altar.

                    There's a woven grass bin on the side where you put the clay tablets you've already read. Wormdows says it's called a "trashcan". Then the next morning all the cuneiform tablets have gone to the golden GRAAL in the sky again.

                    I dont see why you guys are trash talking this technology. I bet you are just jealous because iTulip doesn't have them in it's own caves ...
