Stupid CBC has the oddest choices in what sports to show on TV. They'll show 3m rifle (three metres???) but not trap shooting? ------------------------------------ Honestly, I can't think of a sig... ------------------------------- |

Ya know... I gotta cut Dubya a break here. So they got a pic of him looking at some butt. Beach vollyball outfits are set up like that. It's part of the sport.
And Dubya is doing what Presidents are supposed to do. I think he's doing a good job. Sweaty. Goofy looking. I see nothing wrong with it. All the stupid crap this guy has done and we pick this to get riled about? If it was Obama, them girls would be lusting after him... and people would get just as riled about that. |

Who's getting riled? I think it's hilarious. Dubya hasn't been this interesting in.... ever?

Agreed. Riled was a poor choice of words on my part. |

Keep it coming, martin.
Gad it's hard to see this ass display on the world stage like this. I cannot right click anymore as a pc user and don't know how to ref. for your sources on the Mac. Is any MSM picking up on this presidential display? For USA news? But Trogdor is right. After all this asshole's maneuvers, this photo op is the LEAST of what we should be alarmed about or talking about. Shut the fucker down. IMPEACH!

I'm not following it too closely, but I am going
to try an catch some of the track cycling. One, I want to see the wunderkind in action. Two, I want to see the Madison, because it always makes me think of judo on bikes. -- Fanaticism is nowhere. There's no tenderness or humanity in fanaticism. - Joe Strummer |

Beach volleyball is the best sport they ever added to the olympics. It's as though someone asked how to boost TV ratings and then noticed that people like looking at sweaty scantilly clad women reaching and jumping about, playfully slapping each other on their pretty bikini clad bottoms after each score. If it didn't exist they would have had to invent it.
The BMX biking also looks like they needed some additional thrills and excitement in the games. |

There's a very rigourous screening process used to choose events for the Olympics.

Right Click now equals holding down the "Control" key when you click, Anabel. Hope that helps. The women's team archery final (Korea won, yay!) was fascinating, oddly suspenseful stuff. »» "Forget infinity.

Plug in any two or three button mouse into a Mac, and it will right click.

I know several Mac users who swear by Microsoft brand keyboards and mice (complete with Windows keys). Go figure.

The keyboards look nice but...I don't dig the new ones.
I got wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse for at home, and they're bilingual. _____________________________________ ::swoon:: |

Hey lithos, Justy's right. Mouse installed. Maybe not for forever, but for now.
[Man, I have screwed up things with passwords and keychains... I will consult with the local Mac Guru/Wizard this week] Thanks for the info, Justy. I right clicked and just got a photo. Now off to inspect Getty Images. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nurturing my inner clown. |
