    Garmin 396, $900-

    Garmin 396 is missing the XM antenna. I thought they were just $50 or something ,but Tim informed me they are more. The antenna model is GXM 30A . Here's a refurbished one for $175, but haven't found any others that cheap: http://www.gps4us.com/shopexd.asp?id=1082 I will accept offers, but...

    Snappy new camera

    great camera, i have one too. getting used to the non automated modes are taking a while to get the hang of though. shortly after i got it, i had spots on my photos. it took a few times, but i'm pretty good at cleaning the sensor now. the swabs were a bit pricy though.

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    most likely it's because of the regulation i mentioned about about $10+ deposits. you can deposit cash in the atm, and by law you must sign the form if you deposit $10k+ in cash.

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    wow, usually they just can't give you a recept containing the balance. at least that is the policy with wamu and the banks i used to work at.

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    hehe those were just questions the bank asks.. and yeah, you were most likely hearing from an inexperienced employee who was being asked to have a hold released on the account. lol sorry for my rants, too many years at a bank. one day i just decided to quit and never work at a bank again. i...

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    lol, there's also another regulation that requires them to report when cash is used to purchase bank checks (money order, cashier's checks, travelers checks) for $3k- or more. if i recall, these aren't required for you to sign so you probably wouldn't know that this was reported.

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    huh? verification of check clearance or funds is not trouble to a bank, it is standard procedure, especially for large transactions. (calling the check-writer themself is not procedure.) how often does your partner do transactions of this size? what is his average balance? how long has he...

    Rant of the Day: Banks

    federal regulations require anything 10k or over in cash moved in either direction over the bank counter to be reported. they would make you fill out and sign a form that gets sent to the feds. if you decide you don't want to, then they could fill out a suspicious activity report and send it...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator X

    i hope the game looks as good as the 3d renders. nothing is more annoying than game companies releasing renders and cinematics that are not from actual game play. it would be nice if the landscapes have as much detail as these images.

    'push back approved'

    listening to ground on liveatc at a class C airport. does 'push back approved' refer to the ground crew pushing the airliners away from the terminals?

    Today's mail included...

    are you sure it isn't a joke or a con? surely a secret society such as 'the illuminati' wouldn't send an un-expected invitation by mail. if i were you, i would do a little research before you send that letter back either way. after digging into the history, or perhaps myth, of this phraternal...
