Got my Season Seven Game of Thrones DVDs Tuesday and have ripped them into .iso files and saved them to both laptop's hard drives and to a 64 gig Secure Digital card. Now, I have all seven seasons on two laptops and SD so it's unlikely I'll ever lose the use of them. I don't trust DVDs anymore as I have some older ones that have degraded around the edges and no longer work. It seems if they start separating near the center where I think the file system resides, they no longer work at all. At any rate, if I want hard copies now I can burn them to top quality blank DVDs and be back in business. But, really, the .iso files are superior because they are quiet - no whir from the DVD drive since they run strictly off the hard drive which is too quiet to even hear. Oh, also backed up all seven seasons of GoT .iso files to my Passport Terabyte portable USB HDD along with a complete Toshiba laptop HDD backup. BTW, my erstwhile, off-line touch pad is working again so my old Toshiba is working like new again. Sometimes I amaze even my own self with my continued competence when I'm supposed to be getting old and senile. It just ain't happening, folks. Am I bad or what? I can't believe Nads doesn't admire me. I can understand if she has no interest in my body since she's a lesbian but how can she not love my mind? Seriously, when I was in my late 20's a friend of mine who was going for his doctorate in education wanted to practice giving me a few standard IQ tests to gain experience. I believe he was majoring in special education but I guess those retards also get IQ tested. Anyway, of the three tests I participated in (some of it was verbal and some written) I scored 145 on one, 157 on another and 165 on a third. Of course, I was in my prime then. Now, about forty five years later, I've undoubtedly lost a few points but I'm still squarely located in the genius range. I bet Nads and kensi's IQ tests can't compare. I recall how amazed my friend was when he tested my memory recall. What he did was say, "I'm going to read out loud a series of random numbers. All you have to do is remember as many as you can in the correct order and say them back to me." He started out easy with five numbers and worked his way up to twenty. At ten, when I repeated them correctly, he raised his eyebrows, at fifteen correct, he rolled his eyes, at twenty he almost became apoplectic. When I repeated all twenty back to him in the correct order, he was so shocked. He said not one in ten million people could do that. Try it. See what your feeble intellects can do with it. I bet seven or eight at the most. Skeet would be lucky to remember five correctly with his burned out marijuana brain. Time to celebrate! Time to pop the cork on another $5 bottle of wine... (or it might be a screw top). Gotta get those damned Form 1040 Instructions out of my mind. Assholes don't print them anymore so I had to download them as a .pdf file on my laptop. I sure didn't want to waste all that paper and ink printing the damned thing so I memorized it instead. Now, I feel like my mind is all cluttered up. -- Yours Truly, Gregory Hall "Well, Rancho Kookamonga IP nothwithstanding (he used to have a Texas IP, btw), it should be patently clear to everyone by now who the Fake really is." --Rhonda Lea Kirk Fries http://apprhondaleahkirkfries.blogspot.com/2014/05/rhonda-leah-kirk-fries-interview.html
