Computer Crashed. Hackers

[John McDonough]

I don't mean to be "a stick in the mud", but why is this in the MacGregor Powersailor Discussion section. This really belongs in the Pub's front room.

I put it here because this is where most of the Mac members visit.
Maybe there should be a system to warn Internet users of potential problems when they hit the start button..

When I joined this site, I placed it in favorites, so when I enter, I enter the Powersail forum.

I visited here, and it was either here or another site that I got a pop-up which I didnt even attempt to read, only to cancel out. When my wife turned on the computer the following morning she could not get past home, and porn sites started to pop up. My wife is pretty competent with computers (22 years offfice experience). The Tech had her on the phone, using her laptop to clear it up, but that didnt work and another tech had to take over.

My wife uses this computer (2000 gateway) for her part-time real-estate bussiness. It was getting so slow she was looking to buy another, but after the tech cleaned it up its superfast.

Where do I find "!@#$%^&*(!@#$%" in the dictionary??

I think someone said I was the same thing, or, maybe, something similar, a few years back.

OK friends.

I'm sticking to my guns. I understand John's reasons for placing the thread here, but according to the board index, the Pub's front room is for

General discussion of topics which don't fit into one of the other fora, not necessarily sailing-related. No political or religious discussions.

Highlander, you would be better spending your time getting your boat into the water than nitpicking with me
Ray

By the way J.S., when I posted the icon in that post about you finally getting your boat into the water so Geoff can get a picture of it, I was not mad. I was just showing that just like Flip Wilson, the devil made me do it

Since this is already heading over the edge.

It was easy to figure out Pokerick's crypto message: Being that he's a great card player he counts cards, so just count the hidden letters in !@#$%^&*(!@#$%. HINT: First is letter F, last letter is E. It's two words. Not agreeing, just say'n.

Alrightythen!

Since someone finally mentioned a Mac, I guess that this is the correct place for a computer discussion

I am Mac happy!



Actually, I love both Macs! The best purchases I have made.

Rick,

Thanks for asking. The fuel hose failed the other day, and the engine died while we were mid-channel. We didn't have any sails up as we were just pulling away from the dock. There was a 20+ mph cross wind. To make a long story short, we almost slammed, bow first, into a million dollar yacht that was tied up on the other side. It was a close call, but we didn't scratch either boat.

Simple fix though, I presume.
