cool I want won of those to. in my new refrigerator you suggested.

boy let me tell you.. the new Whirlpool fridge.. oh man... it keeps your ice so cold... but yet not to cold.. your soda experience will be so much better than anyone else that has "other" types of fridges. This ice is so smooth, and the cubes have been designed in such a way to cool your drink faster and more efficient! LOL

When you can post legitimate news articles that attract a goodly number of Freepers, you can start a Whirlpool Ping list.

None of these are "advertisements" contrary to your assertion, but are legitimate news articles about a topic that interests some Freepers. As I have told you before, no one appreciates a skunk at a dinner party. Your continued sniping and, let's admit it, lying (it has to be that when the facts have been provided to you, time and time again), are that skunk.

Currently the Mac Ping List has 197 members who have asked to be included. You are ONE person who has apparently assigned himself the role of censor to prevent the 197 from chatting about what they want to without rude intrusions.

You claimed that there are too many Mac threads... I just did a quick survey of the past 300 threads and found 13 computer related of which only 4 were Mac threads. Of the nine others, three were LINUX and the balance were PC/Windows. Quite frankly, the Mac and LINUX users were enthusiastic about their computers on their threads... On the PC/Windows threads the users seemed more resigned... ON the LINUX and PC threads you did not find rude Mac users invading and hijacking the thread to talk about their Macs... but you personally do that continually on the Mac threads.

So, I will again pose the question:

"How long did you try it before you came to these conclusions?"

Your continued sniping and, let's admit it, lying

I shall be looking forward to your ping.

Sam Adams' reply 18 just happened to get included in the area I grabbed to demonstrate the right click contextual menu on OS X.

Actually, it is merely a screen grab from a little utility that comes with OS X... called, for some strange reason, "Grab". This allows you to grab a full screen (mine's a 23" Cinema Display, a trifle large for a post), a specific Window on the screen, an area of the screen selected by dragging the mouse, or a "timed" full screen, which grabs the snap shot 10 seconds after choosing that option.

It actually took a two step process because I needed to use the same mouse that would outline an area... so I took a "timed" screen grab... while I highlighted the word "google" in your reply, and pressed the right mouse button, waited until the "click" sound indicated the screen had been grabbed. Since I didn't want to post an entire 23" screen of FreeRepublic posts, I then did another screen grab using the "selection" option, this time on the picture of the Window to just pick up a small area of the entire window... and then posted it as a JPG.

There are other sources (3rd party) for replacement batteries for iPods that are significantly less expensive...
