Yeah, I'm still alive, I have hit a snag on collecting for a bit plus there hasn't been any movement on my holy grail and I've been concentrating a lot on my hobby of music. I had posted earlier this year that PlutoTV was showing some of the unreleased seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies...

I discovered last night that PlutoTV is streaming unedited episodes of S6 and S7. I'm suspecting they may show S8 and S9. The episodes look good, although not all of them look as sharp as the DVD releases of prior seasons. I haven't seen some of these in their unedited form since the late 80's...

My middle son got married a couple of months ago to a sweet young lady he met at church. They're expecting! The tentative due date is the 6th of January, but I wouldn't complain if he or she decided to make the grand arrival on Christmas since it's my favorite time of the year. I was just...

I've been looking at the Hyperkin RetroN 77 over on Amazon. I'm in a "that or nothing" situation since I'll be having to purchase from Amazon due to having Amazon gift cards. I have a box full of old Atari 2600 titles that I'd love to play again. I had considered buying a modded original...

I just upgraded to a Windows 10 machine after my Win 7 machine died. I've been using Polderbits for 10-12 years. They are out of business, so my "lifetime" purchase is null and void. Oh, you can download the software, but it won't recognize my access key and won't work after the 7 day trial. I...

I was drug kicking and screaming into Windows 10 when my old Win 7 machine bit the dust week before last. I'm not finding anything too difficult except for one thing-displaying hidden files. I know they generally hide them for a reason, but I simply want to be able to see photo files in my music...

https://variety.com/2019/tv/people-news/rene-auberjonois-dead-dies-star-trek-deep-space-nine-boston-legal-benson-mash-1203429137/ I mainly remember him from Benson and playing bad guys on 70's and 80's shows.

This started out of the blue a few weeks ago. My phone takes it upon itself to create "cache" and "file" folders and add odd screenshots or photos I've already deleted. It's been known to add people's FB profile photos to my gallery or photos from a game I'm not even playing. I did a Google...

I might have asked before, but I'm going to shoot at it again. I'm looking for something (has to be free) that's comparable to Windows Media Player. I'm not interested in doing videos; I rarely use my computer for that. I need it for music as I have probably close to 40,000 songs on here. I want...

I didn't find anything overtly political in the piece, so I'm going to go with the idea it's okay. We have lots of discussions about music rights in this forum as it deals with classic TV on DVD/Blu, so I thought this might be an interesting read for y'all...

I'm watching Quantum Leap a few months ago with my brother in law. I don't remember the exact episode, though I'm sure I could google it. Sam Beckett is in charge of a radio station being shut down for playing rock and roll. Everything is going fine until they show a close up of a record he is...

It's been happening on and off for ages, but it's decided to go crazy tonight. I rebooted my computer, opened up Media Player, and it won't even show me half of my music. I close it down and it won't reopen. I rebooted and it does the same thing again. No matter how many times I click the icon...

...you are scheduled for an MRI and all you can think of is this: I am happy to report I am, obviously, alive and doing well!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's website has been adding heretofore unheard "new" Hank Williams material. The sound quality isn't that great on most of them, but it is vintage Hank. Most are live recordings from the Opry and Louisiana Hayride, but there is what appears to be the...

My son left his computer when he graduated last year, a nice Windows 7 machine I'd like to sell locally. He has it password protected, and I can't even get in to restore it without his password. I hit F8, go to repair, and it prompts for password. I don't have a Win 7 CD to restore from either...

RIP, Mel Tillis. Another great one gone!

I woke up about 3AM with a screen I've never laid eyes on before telling me my computer would not restart. I let it check the computer twice; it kept giving the same message. It then came up with the standard options of System Restore, Command Prompt, Image Recovery, etc. I tried twice with...

Fellow Home Theater friends, my parched lips come once again to the pool of knowledge for a drink! I have an older computer, an Acer I got about 5 years ago, and it still does great. I'm on it right now typing this as a matter of fact. Every few days now, it will come out of hibernation mode...

I don't remember this one. Watching another program of that vintage, I saw a commercial for it. Who owns it? Looks like only 23 episodes were made. Anyone remember it?

I'm sorry, guys and gals, but I must once again come with a dumb question! I ripped a DVD (not anything copyrighted!) to my computer, and now my uncle wants a copy. I'm trying to run off a copy, but WMP says the files are too large. One file is approximately 3 1/2 hours and the other one a...

iPad Air 32 GB, not quite 3 years old. I noticed several months ago that it was not holding a charge like it used to. I did the customary, obligatory steps of reducing brightness, deleting some apps I don't use, and having it "time out" quicker. It finally came to a point it wouldn't even make...

Approximately 36 hours ago I was unceremoniously logged out of my Facebook account with a simple "we noticed suspicious activity." I think I know what they considered suspicious activity (nothing bad I promise!), but that's not the point. I was told to confirm my account by clicking a link and...

I have two ruptured discs and a third one setting up arthritis. Automatic pain pill prescription; between the back issues and some headache issues, I wound up on Tylenol 3 for a year or better. Two weeks ago, I got down to my last pain pill, and I decided it was time to kick them to the curb...

We got word a few days that my ex's hubby has cancer. He's only in his 50's. Stage 4 liver cancer with a life expectation of only 6 months to a year. Heckuva nice guy, even if we butted heads a time or two. Truck driver in his 50's with what I assumed was a long life ahead of him. Up until last...

As of January 1, I look to be cancelling my subscription to Netflix. There'll still be a little bit of classic TV, but it looks like anything associated with Universal is a goner. Emergency!, The A-Team, Battlestar Galactica, The Incredible Hulk, and The Rockford Files are all leaving. They've...

This might be off topic, but this is something I think on all the time. My nightly viewing lately has been My Favorite Martian, a show that premiered a good 10 years before I was born; heck, my parents were teens!!! Everyone knows what a nut I am about The Beverly Hillbillies as well as other...

The last update was August 26th of last year. We know now that The Beverly Hillbillies S1 has been redone in HD obviously. Are they not announcing anymore or what?

I have an older Dell machine, one of the small compact models, that runs Vista. It's a nice little computer I picked up several years ago and I love it due to the fact it has an HDMI output on it. Beautiful picture for Netflix and other streaming applications. The screen is stretched too far...

Up until a few days ago, my app for my iPad Air 32GB was working perfectly. Now it hasn't updated since around the 25th of February. Has support been discontinued?

I bought one of the combo deals with a DVD player/recorder. The DVD side isn't bad at all, but the VCR just isn't what I'm looking for. I know you'll never get HD, but even professional tapes in SP mode just look crappy. It introduces noise in tapes I don't remember being noisy on my last combo...
