Wow, awesome shot. :D Good to see another flight simmer here!

Unplug before soaking. ;) Pure water is an insulator, so shouldn't matter anyway. Just don't wash the keyboard with Pepsi or coffee.

I've seen those archaic IBM keyboards (the big ones you could use as a weapon) soaked in the bathtub overnight, then dried for a couple days. Worked fine after that. Just don't use soap :o

FS2004.com - 100 or so downloads, but all cream of the crop freeware. Better known for their forum. avsim.com - huge directory of downloads, but up and down lately.

You have to put FS2004 into windowed mode and drag whichever window(s) you want to the other monitor.

The batteries are uncharged so you'll have to charge them up before use. Whether or not the charger will overcharge batteries depends on whether or not it samples the battery to see when it's charged, has a built-in timer to auto-shutoff the charging circuit (after 6 hours in your case), or...

The best charger I've seen (I've had one for over a year and it rocks) is the Rayovac 1-hour charger for only $29 (Walmart link again - no I don't work for them :P). It can safely charge NICD or NIMH cells in 1 hour because it checks the levels of each cell independently every 6 seconds! When...

Yes, NIMH batteries are best in situations where large surges of current are needed for a short period of time (i.e., the flash of your camera, radio control vehicles, etc). NIMH lose roughly 3% of their charge every day, so they aren't the best solution for long-term use in clocks, etc...

OK, found it ;) Done by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the filename I found on Kazaa is "Big Head Todd & John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom". "I love the way you walk I love the way you talk The way you walk that walk The way you talk that talk You knock me out Out offa my feet Boom Boom...

lol nope wasn't that one. I just found an old version of the song I'm looking for - "John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom". Same words, but by somebody else...

OMG you guys are on the ball tonight! :D yellowperil, you nailed the second one: Enigma - Return to Innocence. dparker, I'm dloading Sacred Spirits to check it out, but I wanted Enigma more for weird reminiscing ;) Why does that song bring back so many memories of that summer?! Before...

Actually, I'm trying to find 2 songs: 1) The artist that plays the "Boom Boom Boom Boom" song for the TGI Friday's (or Applebees?) commercial (ok, it's been a year or two)? and (here's a tough one): 2) I remember this song being all over the radio here in the U.S. in the summer of 1994. I...

Remember, 440 isn't the same as 4400 - 440 is MX which most people detest (at least from what I've seen - I don't have one myself). I have a GF3ti200 which was a HUGE jump from my previous GF2mx400. Stay just behind bleeding edge and you won't regret it later financially ;) I bought the first...

Just hooked up my new GF3ti200 and am amazed at the improvement - I really didn't expect this much! Gainward GF3ti200 is the way to go - insane overclocking potential and only $124 +s/h from Newegg :D 3dmark 2001se scores 6451 w/ just the standard clock speeds on the Gainward, lots of people...

I was just wondering exactly the same thing. I can't find info about their differences anywhere on the web, even at Pioneer's site :P Anyone have some more light to shed? I know newer isn't always better, especially with DVD drives.
