Merry Christmas to all! Thanks for a great year of conversation, help, and the occasional swift kick to the buttocks (Zurf) to keep me in line a playing.

I hope you all get to spend time with your family and friends during this Holiday season and, of course, play your guitar(s).

J3, try NOT playing for a week or so. I've often read this helps and, in fact, I just completed a week-long hiatus due to a business trip sans guitar. And when I got back to playing it seemed as if it was all new but I was actually better?

Beamer,
I have a travel guitar. For this trip i new there would be no time to play. In Munich, on my way home. I should have guitar in my hands Saturday morning.

Zurf,
I didn't mean to imply a MAC would solve this problem. But mine has solved many of my headaches.

I've never fooled around with any Photoshop product. I simply don't have time to edit photographs. My MO is to capture the best image I can and move on. On the other hand I know many people who edit, edit, edit. I don't have the patience.

Unfortunately my attempts at writing fall prey to this same MO. Despite, the evidence to the contrary that most, if not all, successful (good) authors spend at least as much time editing and revising as they do writing. Again, I have no patience and little discipline I suppose.

I hope you are able to solve your dilemma.

Zurf,
Your frustration is palpable as I've been there myself. Who hasn't? I switched over to a MAC this year after working with PCs since their inception. I did this because I wanted a computer that worked every time I wanted to use it. I was weary of having to "tune-up" my computer every time I wanted to use it. And this seemed to be the requirement with PCs. I don't want to work ON the computer; I want to work WITH the computer.

Unfortunately I am required to use a PC for work so I have the whole bifurcation issue to work with. But the MAC is a Godsend!

I have experienced the same thing with "free" being better than " purchased".

Good luck. Don't pull all your hair out.

Might have been the player?

Bunbun,
I write this with one hand because the index finger of my other is touching the tip of my nose.

I just think the seller is full of crap, pardon my Latin. He seemed like a nice, honest guy when I met him but his $200 post is crap. I know it. He knows it. But it's not my concern and I do not feel compelled to call him out on this.

Actually I considered buying the guitar back (at $150) but have sense moved on with another small-bodied guitar and really have no need.

The only one I remember was Dash Rip Rock! He would play the guitar, sing, and dance around on his tip-toes. But alas I think he was actually Fred.

Excellent answer to your boss's question by the way. Wished I'd thought of it.
