After making this post I thought there is no print ad that will deserve my attention ever. Obviously, I was wrong.
Here, one that Mik would probably like

Opera was having downtime today so I won`t risk making a big post and then losing it

Some interesting ads there.

I've been getting a 502 error just about every time I clink on a link here.

Darkogdare # Saturday, November 14, 2009 8:46:52 PM

San

I was just thinking to send you PM, haven`t seen you around much lately. I hope you didn`t get flu or something

Felix

Ed, I`ve been getting 502 error for an hour or so, almost gave up. Now I hope everything will be ok

First, I couldn't get in to OC---said maintenance going on. Now, I get proxy server errors, and sometimes when I click on a notification, it won't go there, but just hangs.

Darkogdare # Saturday, November 14, 2009 8:49:36 PM

Yeah, must be one of those days in Opera Community

Been digging in your old drawers again, Darko?

Sansanshan # Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:02:02 PM

I do have a life you know!

Darkogdare # Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:08:01 PM

Rose, you know me too well

San, yes I know

Spaggyj # Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:19:45 PM

Love it!

Now I have seen I missed to put a link in a first sentence, "After making this post" - this post reffers to this

Sorry, I am too tired and will go to bed soon

Andy WilsonDudley # Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:43:07 PM

Oh good one!

Adele BrandSittingFox # Saturday, November 14, 2009 10:27:09 PM

LOL! I've actually just got out a cassette player for an old audiobook. I feel like I've gone back to the stone age!

PainterWoman # Saturday, November 14, 2009 11:36:37 PM

There's some really good ones there. I like the Zoo Safari one.

L2D2 # Saturday, November 14, 2009 11:40:08 PM

I have about 100 cassettes, some very good, that I am, reluctantly, giving to Salvation Army, as I no longer own a cassette player.

Angelikiellinidata # Sunday, November 15, 2009 2:12:28 AM

very enjoyable link Darko,
and some funny too!

thanks for sharing !

Stardancer # Sunday, November 15, 2009 2:16:30 AM

Cool.

MinaMinenow # Sunday, November 15, 2009 3:52:08 AM

I like Reality Bites and Bad food bad dog...

dirkthetomster # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:55:10 AM

yes, one of those days ... it was like this:

L2D2 # Sunday, November 15, 2009 6:28:47 AM

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 7:06:30 AM

Andy

Adele, my casette player is an old Technics sitting on my bookshelf, still operational even though it is 18 years old; somehow I like to watch it working

Carol

Pam, other than this I like that one with Titanic

Linda, I have about 50 of them and they will stay here as long as I have a device to play them

Angeliki, you are welcome

Star

Mina, yes that dog was just.....

Dirk, back in those days life didn`t have that frantic pace as it have today

Dacotah # Sunday, November 15, 2009 7:08:58 AM

Hi Darko, how are you?

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 7:31:05 AM

Better than yesterday evening. I felt so tired, had two trainings yesterday and the second one was exhausting. 2 hours of aikido. Sometimes I feel as my age is catching me

Sooner or later middle age imprints itself on our brain pan and we have to acknowledge it.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 7:51:10 AM

I am more concerned with my body than my brain - if my mind is damaged, it is not repairable by now

L2D2 # Sunday, November 15, 2009 8:54:57 AM

Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it---to hell with the brain, keep the body looking good for as long as possible. Brain is expendable.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 9:23:04 AM

Yes, it has limited longevity

PainterWoman # Sunday, November 15, 2009 3:04:09 PM

Darko, I probably have about 50 cassettes too and occasionally will listen to them on my 'boom box'. I forget how old that is.....15 yrs old maybe more. It plays cds too which is cool. I hope it stays working for a long time but I would pay to have it repaired if it ever goes on the blink.

Suntana # Sunday, November 15, 2009 4:12:38 PM

WHAT? Am I the only one for whom the Cassette Player is still the main stay, the main staple source of music? I got up right now and went and counted my music CDs. I actually still only have 36 music CDs. And most of those were acquired this year. Beyond that, I'm right there with Peppermint at 100 or more Cassettes. My Isuzu Rodeo still has only a Cassette Player, which isn't working right now.

Luckily my home Stereo has a Cassette Player in addition to the CD Player.

In my case, to a large extent, I don't have a choice. My Fav music is Tejano. (Mexican Music Texas Style) Most of the Old School music in that genre, you cannot find on CDs even if you wanted to switch over. A lot of those old Record Labels are now defunct and thus NOT putting out CD versions of the Old School music.

Hmmm? Now WHY hasn't anyone thought of manufacturing a Cassette Drive for computers?

Someone would make a killing.

At the very least a Cassette Drive to connect to the USB Port.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:25:44 PM

Pam, I have never heard of boom box. Will have to Google for it

Carlos, have you seen this?
http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/digital-conversion/9778/
Your problems with old cassettes are over, you can have them in MP3

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:27:08 PM

Pam, this is boom box?

PainterWoman # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:34:14 PM

Yes, but mine is lower, longer and more curvy. I'll have to take a photo of it. 'Boom box' was a new expression for the large radios kids used to carry around with them playing very loudly with the bass booming at full impact. This was late in the 80s I think.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:42:01 PM

I remember them very well, my friend got a really big one. Like in that scene of Police Academy where that black guy presses the button and it plays "Relax" by Frenky Goes To Holiwood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPLrXFw76Qg

Suntana # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:54:36 PM

The genuine Boom Boxes are supposed to be around the size of and weight of a Car Engine.

Yup, try carrying one of THOSE on your shoulder.

PainterWoman # Sunday, November 15, 2009 5:59:08 PM

OMG that video!

I never saw Police Academy. Are those scenes from the movie? I always liked the song but never knew who sang it.

PainterWoman # Sunday, November 15, 2009 6:01:20 PM

Carlos, I think that's why the fad didn't last long. The kids got tuckered out carrying around those engines.

Suntana # Sunday, November 15, 2009 6:26:29 PM

No, Darko, I hadn't seen that. I guess someone else was as bright as me

and thought of the brilliant idea.

Yay! I'm covered! My problems are over.

Suntana # Sunday, November 15, 2009 6:29:57 PM

There are probably a lot of old guys now with bent spines and arthritis from lugging around those Boom Boxes.

L2D2 # Sunday, November 15, 2009 6:34:58 PM

I bought my son a Sony boombox for Christmas one year and he used that thing for years. After he went to work, he took that thing with him to listen to every day while he was working. I know he used it for at least 10 years, probably longer.

Stardancer # Sunday, November 15, 2009 8:09:56 PM

I have, I think, five cassette players around here somewhere. The only CD player I have that works is in my computer.

L2D2 # Sunday, November 15, 2009 8:14:10 PM

I only have CD player in my computers, no stereo anymore. I have DVD and VCR, but watch DVD movies on my computer also. If my two desktops break down, I am without music or movies.

MinaMinenow # Sunday, November 15, 2009 9:30:24 PM

Linda, I believe that would be HIGHLY unlikely

Darkogdare # Monday, November 16, 2009 12:26:23 AM

Yes, I have only one desktop so I am in more danger than you are Linda

You have a backup system....

L2D2 # Monday, November 16, 2009 2:54:16 AM

I have two desktops and a laptop. I want to get rid of the laptop. I don't have a USB adapter for it to use it wireless, and don't want to spend the money to get one for it. Don't much like laptops.

Darkogdare # Monday, November 16, 2009 6:22:56 AM

When I wanted to buy a new computer, I was considering that option, to buy a laptop, but I would not move it anywhere out of home, so I decided to buy a desktop. Got more power and performances for the same money

L2D2 # Monday, November 16, 2009 6:25:57 AM

You betcha! I have to use mine wired to modem, so there is no reason for me to keep it.

Darkogdare # Monday, November 16, 2009 7:00:00 AM

Carlos, as for that idea about usb cassette player, I was wondering how it would be possible to transfer some of the songs from a tape to MP3, I guess it would need a sound adapter with input jack and a decent software for recording that. Now every sound card has a microphone jack but finding free software to record it is a bit harder - free stuff are usually with few options and don`t work well - at least it was a case two years ago when I thought about it

I should reconsider it and try to find cables and software again

Star, five of them? Oh my, I think I had two in my entire life and the second one is that one I still have

Linda, your laptop have no wireless modem inside of it?
