I requested too, but who decides who can join? No one will know that I'm "socks" by my email address, so does whoever decides know who is trying to join???

Hello Juanita! Hi, I am new to this forum, I just purchased a new DSLR today (battery charging as we speak), but anyways, I just wanted to say your photographs are beautiful, I love landscape photography and yours are just so relaxing and envoking of the true beauty of nature.

The last guy couldn't figure it out either, that's why there's a subpanel - he left the old service in place because he was confused to heck. Find the smallest-value fuses you can. Replace all of them with that. 12.5A isn't a normal common value anymore, so I'm going to bet that one is the oldest. You should probably try to find more 12.5's and use them in all of the spaces. The problem you're going to find with your incremental replacement is that all of those circuits are going to tie into each other in ways that make no sense to you. A 'hot' wire is going to go up in the wall in one room but the neutral to the same circuit is going to be going the opposite direction in a totally different room. You're going to run a new circuit to one room and when you're pretty sure you're done with all of the k&t wire that goes to the old circuit you're very sure you followed, you're going to unhook that wire and three things you thought were completely unrelated are going to stop working. Been there. Done that. I enjoy the challenge, because this is a bit of a hobby to me - and the history of it is as interesting to me as the work, but if you're a "normal" person with a real life... I feel for you.

With my experience the three top laptops (notebooks, actually) are, in no particular order, Toshiba, IBM and Apple. Apple of course is much more expensive. Toshiba is by far the best value out there for quality and price. IBMs are pricy too. I avoid Dell, Gateway and Compaq like the plague. HP has improved since they're trying to put their notebooks back at a higher level now that they took over Compaq, they leave the Compaq as the low-buck line. Dell has gone back to having different levels so if you want to spend a lot more to get something with a Dell name you can get something decent. I just can't justify to most of my clients to spend the money when they can get far better value with a Toshiba. I have two and couldn't be more pleased. The one is a year old and the other is about 6 years old with hard use. Desktops can't be compared to notebooks. I still far prefer a custom built desktop from a competent builder over any of the mass-produced junkboxes. The cost isn't much more but the value is far more. All that said, even the lower quality units can be OK if you take proper care of them.
