Did he barf them back up and ask you if they look like anything?

I told him it looked like his face. He didn't like that so well. Punched me in the nose.

It's so everyone else reading the thread knows you've sent a PM to buy something. It's territorial -- the person who posts it is hoping that both A: another buyer will see it and decline to offer until the PM is sorted out, and B: the seller will see your "PM SENT" post first and give you priority on the sale.

I always figured it opened you up to more competition. And that bumping the thread didn't help! I must have it backwards, lol.

What Cebus said, and that a lot of sellers don't check their PMs in a timely manner. A bump with a notice helps bring it to their attention.

That's pretty funny. I didn't know that. But I'm guessing it wasn't so funny when you made this discovery.

lol, no. It was at work and my boss had to redo some changes to a report. He's a pretty good sport, though. I think I was more upset about it.

BTW: what browser are you using that said this site looked good on? Flash plugins, css and Java all work? Anything popular that doesn't work well in it?

I use it for just about everything except heavy 3D modeling and heavy video editing. It's fine for light duty work but if things get heavy I switch over to my Intel iMac. It's good for light duty web browsing too. I don't have Flash installed but it's probably not good for YouTube or anything. Not sure about Java. CSS and Javascript seem to work pretty good, though. There are a few quirks but it's a work in progress. There's a guy updating browsers for older machines. ...

Check out Classilla for OS9 and TenFourFox for OSX on PPC Macs. I dual-boot the G4 and use both occasionally. I love the OS9 interface and wish Apple would've carried over some of the features. Plus it feels so much more peppy than OSX.

Life's an itch and then you die.
