Big Bear Mountain [where can i buy ski gloves?]

I presume you mean Big Bear out of Los Angeles. Most sporting goods stores should carry gloves at this time of the year, even in L.A. If you've got motorcycle gloves, they'll do. I presume you're going for the first time. Hint: If you're snowboarding for the first time gloves will be more...

Why do banks not give you access to money deposited after 2pm?

Banks sometimes treat deposits made after a certain time as being deposited the next day because when you deposit a check you start a collection period time schedule running. The bank into which you deposit the check has only a limited amount of time to present it to the bank on which it is...

where can i look up certain laws that were just passed?

Well, we're in Troub City right off the bat because you don't mention the jurisdiction you're interested in. If you'll stop and think for just a moment, where you look up a recent law depends on whether it's a state or federal law. And, if it's a state law, which state. Answer that and we'll go...

What is there to do in Oakland ?

I can see why SnakesnFrogs has a bag over his head. Probably should be a white hood. :( If you're into shopping try Piedmont Avenue or Lakeshore Avenue. I happen to like flea markets and Oakland has two that work on the weekends. Not as large as that commercial deal down on Berryessa (sp?) in...

Athlon Power Consumption?

I have searched in vain for a table of power consumption for the various Athlons. I know I've seen these things. I looked at the AMD site but it appears that they want to avoid the subject. They do have a self-serving little blurb about power consumption can be as little as two watts. Help please.

I am going to look at digital cameras....which ones to look at?

I have an Olympus C3040 and love it. I have three comments about buying a digital camera. (1) Do an on line price comparison. I got my camera for $600 plus change out of New York. That's about $100 to $200 than what I would pay for the camera on sale here (SF Bay Area). (2) Check out the battery...

Battlefield Earth

L. Ron Hubbard, the author of the book, started out writing science fiction and then went into Scientology. In the meantime, science fiction stories had become much different than they were in the 40s and 50s. Ron reportedly wanted to do an old fashioned science fiction book. I picked up a copy...

Outlook 2002 (XP)

There's a book out called "Outlook 2002." It is one thick sucker. I didn't know it was possible to write that much about Outlook. Stroll to your local book store and check it out.

Any Vietnam vets here at ATOT? I'm doing a school project. Anything will help.

I don't often indulge myself by writing about Viet Nam and I'm not sure what I want to say now. At the time I saw your question here, there had been no responses filed yet and I didn't want to leave it that way. Ultimately I probably have only trite things to say, much like a baseball player...

ATT@home cable modems.....

There is an extensive discussion of this in the Hot Deals forum. RCA, 3 Com, and Motorola all have these specials available on their Web pages. Most of these pages have an @home URL and a Roadrunner URL. I believe (but don't know) that AT&T intends to offer this to all it's users but the Web...

What are the best classes you ever took?

Certainly the best, in terms of "most useful" was typing. And I have a doctorate.

Anyone type using the Dvorak layout instead of the QWERTY layout?

Even without Windows you can usually find a utility program to remap your computer. The commentators who say that QWERTY was not adopted to slow people down are correct. I've used it and it went back to QWERTY. My problem with it was that any time I sat down at a non Dvorka machine I started...
