"The Incredibles" is Incredible

I took my wife and kids to see The Incredibles tonight. Wow! Easily the best movie I've seen this year. It makes you want to put on a red super-hero suit and go looking for some action.

Speaking of incredible--the weather was just that today. So OF COURSE I had to go to the field for a little flying. I snapped this shot of my AT-6 Texan doing a flyby, and this one of it landing. Poetry in motion!

I'm having a weird problem with my PC--a Dell 4600C. For several months now, it has been occasionally rebooting all by itself. Now it's rebooting every 10-15 minutes. It's a hard reboot, as if the power supply is glitching. I found a patch on Dell's Web site that hints that it might be a software error in the drive controller. I downloaded the patch, but alas, it can only be installed from a floppy drive, and this PC is the only one I've ever owned that doesn't have a floppy drive. First thing tomorrow morning, I'm heading to CompUSA to buy a USB floppy drive. If that doesn't work, I'll have to call Dell to send a technician to the office. I always buy the 24-hour service option when I purchase a new PC, so maybe I'll have my first chance to use it. Meanwhile, this constant rebooting is driving me crazy!

    My Dear, I see your system infected with W32.Netsky virus you might consider downloading this patch from Symentec i.e norton antivirus... You will need to Turn off "System Restore". I hope this will help couse I had same problem with my Dell PC

    Hey Jeff, I had the same problem. It turned out that the UPS I had was cooked. The UPS was cutting the power every once in a while usually when I was doing something that made the computer work had which would increase its power consumption. Might not be your problem but who knows. I have a feeling you already checked for Netsky. :) dave

    Yep, I checked for viruses and other maladies. I suspected the UPS at first, but I plugged the computer into a wall outlet for a couple of days and got the same behavior. Just to be sure, I plugged another computer into the same outlet and it ran trouble-free. I had run reboot-free for several days until it started acting up again Monday. It rebooted on me 5 or 6 times in the space of a few hours. Then yesterday it ran without problems. Go figure!

    How wonderful it is! Today, I had seen the film - "The Incredibles" this afternoon, My father also had seen this film in this evening. This cartoon movie is powered by Disney Company. In this film, I love the people's sensation, scene, bugbears. The scene is so sublime. With the great imagination.
