Hey Mark...will you be doing any pruning to your Liberty this year? Was wondering if I could get some scion wood? I know a lot of folks here have it, and maybe I'd be better off getting it from someone closer so it spends less time out of the cooler, but I can't remember who all has it. I was thinking of trading small quantities of Imidan 70WP for scions. I have more than I'll ever use (fresh, just got it) and a lot of folks here have expressed the desire to try it. The only hangup is I'm kinda worried someone may misplace the bottle and it gets mistaken for something else. For those with young children I probably wouldn't be comfortable with it. Let me know. BTW, I never have any issues with CM here (knocking on wood), but I spray a lot. My issues tend to be fungal and bacterial so the DR varieties should do well for me. I've heard enough great things about Liberty to want it, but enough so-so comments to preclude me from devoting space to a single tree. I have a seedling (now getting quite big) that I've been grafting to. So far I've put Goldrush and Honeycrisp on it. Liberty would be an awesome additional graft.

It is an Acer Travel Mate. As far as Acer taking care of it....long story. First time I had it sent to them, it sort of crashed- The right hand 4 inches of the screen was blank, everything froze; when Acer tried to walk me through the steps to go back to original it would do 'nothing'. Period. Poop. Nadda. I went to Best Buy just to have them run a scan on it for what was wrong. There were 6 pages of things that were wrong. Sorry, I am not knowledgeable enough to tell you what was wrong. I talked to Acer again, and told them I was going to send the 6 pages along with the computer. When I got the computer back, the screen was fixed, but immediately I knew they didn't fix anything else, because I could not start the machine. When I called Acer and asked what the H*** was going on, they said because I could not tell them specifically what was wrong, they could not fix it.DAH?? They then said they only would fix what I told them was wrong- the 6 pages meant nothing to them- they 'didn't read any attached material'. I sent it back the second time. Supposedly, I had talked to a senior Tech, who would go through the computer and fix it. I got it back the second time, AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE!! (at this point I am both crying and screaming). I should have waited to cry and scream- I had seen nothing yet. I talked to Acer for about the 10th time- I was to send it back. I sent it back on July 30th. I called on August 5th to make sure they had received it. Yes, they had it there, and were working on it now. Because I was going out of town to see family, I told them to send to a different address, where I would be. It was going to be sent out the next day, or the day after that. Well, by August 12th, it had not arrived, so I called to see where it was. "Well, why don't you call us back in 2 days- I can't track it right now". OK- I called back on the 14th. They told me they had never received the machine at all! I didn't have the tracking number with me, because, now I am 1500 miles away from home, and they had already said they had it on the 5th of August. (the FedEx address sticker was generated from Acer- they paid for the pickup from my home, and paid for the pickup). Acer told me that they had never generated a sticker, and even if they had, it was my responsibility to have the tracking number. They still denied having the machine. This garbage went on for almost a week- Acer denying that they were responsible for it. When I said they should have fixed it in the first place, I was then lying- 'it was working perfectly when it left the tech's desk'. Bull****!! Well, after them saying that they had no way to find it, and because I did not have the tracking number they refused to be responsible for it. Thankfully, I live in a very small town, and had talked with some friends on the phone about the problem Acer was giving me. A FedEx rep from Casper called me- the Fedex pickup guy had heard about Acer denying that it had ever arrived, and he told the Wyoming central office. A great person, by the name of Deb, called me, asked if I was having problems, and when I said 'yes', she had already looked up the info- what time it was picked up, when it arrived at Acer, who signed for it at a certain time,, etc. (other FedEx employees I called had been unable to find any info for me). Well, when I called Acer back with the tracking number, they were very upset to find out it was there- someplace. I finally got the computer back last week (it might have been a few days before that), and the D*MN THING STILL ISN'T FIXED RIGHT111 For those of you who may be contemplating an ACER- DON'T!!! NEVER, will I get an ACER! I don't do any business on the computer- all I do is surf/chat. As you guys know, I am still having problems, though at least I can get it turned on and get online now. I called Acer back, and have never received a call back. Ya know the cartoons where the guy gets mad and shoots the tv? Well, I am very much in that frame of mind. Except I want to shoot the computer. And maybe anyone who works at the tech support/customer service.Oh yah- the slot where the CD disk goes keeps popping open about every minute or so- they couldn't even fix that. And they were well aware about it. Please never reccomend Acer to anybody.

raven...I am trying to download Malwarebytes.- I went to the first line you gave- 'Malwarebytes Ant-malware'... When I go to the first line you gave, it takes me to a page that says 'Malwarebytes', with 'Home, About Us, Products, Contact Us on the top line. Then on the left is 'Destroying malw...(there isn't any more), and 'Testimonials'. Further down the page is a red 'cnet-Editors Choice Apr 2009'. Further down from that is 'Latest News'. There isn't any blue box to download. At the very bottom of the page is 'Malware NET', Adware.MyWebSearch 24.33%, Trojan Agent percent of total 6.15%, Security Hack Percent of total 5.59% Right now I have a split screen so I can tell you exactly what comes up when I click on the site. AVG has made my computer so slow- I have 448MB. I have read your instructions for when you have trouble downloading Malware- I went to: tools/internet options/security/trustedsites/sites and added www.malwarebytes.org/add. After I did that everytime I tried to go to a site a message popped up and said 'www.cnet' wants to be downloaded through this site- do you want to allow this?'. If I click 'yes' it just keeps popping up but nothing happens.

1. blow or use canned air in the hole where the red light is. could be just a piece of fuzz caught. 2. try another surface. opticals don't like some mousepads, especiall light colored ones. 3. unplug and plug back in 4. could be a trojan, but doubt it.... scan your puter 5. set you cursor speed slower... in control panel...mouse 6. could be cpu usage is at 100% when mouse starts jumping.. Open Task Manager (right click the task bar and left click Task Manager) and to to the Performance tab. When the mouse is sticky CPU could be running at 100% i.e. the PC is so busy it can't move the mouse so it feels jumpy. If this is so click on the Processes tab and find the process using all the CPU time. This should give you an idea of what program is causing the problems. If the process name is obscure do a search for it on Google for what it relates to. 7. last resort... buy a new mouse.....lol.
