<MannBee> Thank you for being so responsive to the HELP MANNBEE light that is clearly floating above MannBee City. I also used "google" to find a workaround for Chrome and I was able to find a <non Google!> site that explained how to get rid of such unwanted animated banners by using one of the features on the free "adblock" extension. Question: why do you think this animated banner suddenly appearing on cg.com this morning? It is on no other site I can see- I have checked hundreds of them already. |

| | WannaBe: <JFQ> That is a great question, possibly the admins/support forum is the better place to ask that. But I will do some diggin' on why this all of a sudden started today, too. |

| | WannaBe: $999.00 for a monitor <STAND>?? You'll never see me buy anything from Apple. https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/04... (Sure, I've iPad, iPhone, MacBook before, but they were company issued...) |
|
Jun-05-19
| | WannaBe: Apple's getting roundly and deservedly mocked for their $999.00 monitor stand: https://news.yahoo.com/apple-mocked... Great move, Apple. Great move. Really shows the world what kind of "world" you live in. |
|

| | WannaBe: CNN.com's business section's take on that $999.00 monitor <STAND>: https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/05/tech... (Yes, I am having a lot of fun with this dumb-ass'd monitor stand... If I have a 3-D printer, I'd print my own monitor stand!) |
|
Jun-06-19
 | | TheAlchemist: I read about it yesterday too, ridiculous. Still, I think it's pretty safe to say many people will buy it regardless, just because it's Apple. |
|
| Jun-08-19 | | Caissanist: Netflix has an interesting program going now called <Scam City>, one of their segments is about Jerusalem. Hope <TD> has a chance to watch that before he makes his trip. |

| | WannaBe: I have a question regarding today's quote of the day: <"Just because a man was champion for many years does not necessarily mean that he was a good player. "
--- Fischer >
Does anyone know who he was referring to (maybe even himself?) and around what time he said/wrote this? Much thanks in advance. |
|
| Jun-16-19 | | Count Wedgemore: <WannaBe> I don't know when he said this, but the player he referred to was probably Emanuel Lasker. At least on one occasion, Fischer flat out called Lasker a "weak player" and "overrated", so it is quite clear that he did not hold the 2nd World Champion in much regard, at all. |

| | WannaBe: Thank you <Count Wedgemore>!! Personal Log, look up the history of the song "Those were the days my friend"... |

| | WannaBe: The one day, that V. Borge was on drugs, and decided to play the piano as a serious musical instrument; this video is <NOT> funny!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERJ...
And he played the one piece I hate the most! Ugh... Had to play it when I was young as viola player, hated it! |
