Ahhh yes, the old Lucas, the Prince of Darkness strikes again. :Smirk:

Actually, I was able to dodge the phenomenon in all my years with owning several different English motorbikes and cars.

Just saw this. I have owned two Austin-Healy Sprites. When Lucas showed up on the Honours List, he went from being the Prince of Darkness to the Knight of Darkness.

Ahhh yes, the Austin-Healy Sprites and I almost bought a used one, but that was before the adage: Austin-Healy Sprites — made in Abington on Thames by Water Sprites !!!! :Smirk:

Wow, that was fast!!!

And I didn't even get to see a peek of what no-no he did, but I guess I wasn't involved with that particular thread and that doesn't really matter, especially if it didn't fit the m-f rules.

Anyway, I really should be doing our Income Taxes and I'm stalling with all kinds of excuses, but at least I have been pre-approved for a disability credit which should certainly help reduce any payment amounts we have to make.

First? Welcome to the forum James. I have no doubt that you will learn al you wish to know. Just remember there is only one silly question and that is the one you want/need an answer for and don't ask. Everyone has to start from zero and even birds have to learn to fly !

Yes, welcome jamesdave and say John, why do you assume that jamesdave has only joined as a member in order to learn something???

For all I know he could be a Mac expert and Mac Guru genius and has just joined in order to help some novices and other members out.

Just saying... and adding as the phrase goes... never assume nutt'n'. :Smirk:

New to the forum, hoping to gain a better understanding of all things Mac as I have been and still am a Windows user.

A warm welcome to Mac-Forums.

Are you planning on getting a Mac soon, and if so, what were you thinking of - Desktop or Notebook (Mac's equivalent of a Windows' Laptop)?

We're certainly here to help you in any way we can.

Ian
