Re: Gun prOn!

Reload. From what I've read, that's almost a hobby in and of itself. While I think I'll stick to just one new hobby (for now :wink: ), what's it take to get into reloading? I've also read here and there that reloading supplies are also starting to be in short(er) supply. True? Yup, it is a hobby in...

I have an all black standard model P22, and while I have to be a little careful of what I feed it...it shoots great!

Re: NBA cancels first 2 weeks of season... and I don't care

This forum isn't exactly the NBA's best demographic, as you well know. The poll isn't really going to be terribly representitive of their popularity in the real world.

Re: xbox 360 I am dissapoint

Our 360 is pretty much a dust collector.

Have you cycled through all of the available inputs on your monitor? You said that the logo comes up, but no signal...sounds like something is getting lost in translation between the mobo/vid card and the monitor.
