WestCoast said:whoa Merrily, I'm doing the same thing this weekend.
I'm now the fleet captain here, and we're going to have a fleet meeting/drinking at the club this Sunday.
calicosine said:merrily, i run both systems( mac and the evil microsoft) and i will have to say that for music stuff and graphics the mac wins every time, try using i-tunes. . ..you cant beat a i-pod for ease of use! Terry[/calicosine]
Terry, we bought the Mac because we couldn't get photos to load on the PC. The Mac is good because it actually works, but it is even less intuitive than the PC. John uses it constantly and so he downloads the Laser pictures. I sometimes think that all computers, like politicians, are a necessary evil. As for an i-pod, the wallet is not bottomless. I'll keep it under advisement though. Thanks!

Merrily said:Nitty-gritty language lesson.
This is a pet peeve. Since I started reading sailing stuff, I have never seen so many people choose the wrong word between lose and loose, as in "loose the race."
If native speakers mix it up, how's an English as second language guy supposed to choose the screen name that he intends, as in LooserLu, when he sees it constantly wrong?
So here's the lesson--loose means baggy, easy, or runny. Loose, looser, loosest. Here's the nitty-gritty part: Clothes, women, or bowels can be loose.
Lose means to come in last. Some people are so competitive that if they come in second, they feel they've lost. It's lose, lost, lost.
A loser is a person who has come in last or someone who tends to fail. If you mix the words up because you've given it no consideration, your thinking is loose, but you are not a loser, just sloppy.
