I actually got the reference, but the only reply I could think of was along the lines of "Frankly, I don't give a d-mn," which I thought might sound harsh to others who might have not caught the link. :o: :D:

Every once in a while, while listening to radio (especially Clear Channel stations), I hear a Windows system sound and think to myself how I'm surprised they don't turn off those sounds like I do on my computer... And I don't make any money off the recordings I make!


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Yes I'm in radio. And yes much of my job IS sitting here to make sure the computer doesn't screw up. And Sus it has gotten worse. We don't even record programs from the satelite. The network programming is fed through the internet and so the computer even does that automatically. Of course the problem I have is that the program that plays the programs is a windows based program and so you can imagine how it handles running two stations at the same time, 24/7/365. :eek:

But there is a good side to this. The company has a good internet connection (I am right across the street from NCSA...National Center for Supercomputing Applications) and so while I "monitor" the stations I can chat with all of you. :D: :D: :D:

That is sad, Randy...I guess I am not missing much by not working in broadcasting anymore... :( Though the free time is a nice option. Read, sleep, post here... :D:

I got the GWTW reference too. I have seen that movie God knows how many times, but like Wombat could not come up with any other reference other than the "I don't give a damn" and that would have seemed insensitive, Wallaby's favorite word by the way, *sensitive* HeeHeHee!

I'll PM my info to you a little later as long as you promise not to chop me up into little pieces and feed me to the baby alligators in the aquacell! LOL!

Got it also, as I saw it when it was first released!! the only reply I could think of was: "Sir, she is in morning, and cannot be part of the bid" Scarlet: "I'll do it for the Cause!!!"

It was first released 68 years ago (1939) :eek: .

Man, your old.. (Just kidding)

By the way, I got the reference. As evidenced by a thread a while back, I don't miss many TV or Movie references.
