Your school provides weather and webcam updates 24/7?

When I was in high school, internet was just out, and we did not have internet facilities in school. Lucky you.

BC High has really revamped their technology program in the past year. So yeah, we have three computer labs and 24/7 weather monitoring, plus a lot more :)

LOL.
I believe most active SillyDog701 members would know the "who else" answer for my desktop. ;-)

FrankoSport, Was That You?

Postby FrankoSport » Thu 08 Dec, 2005 7:43 pm

Greetings ...

"A Boy and His Dog" was found in a 1950s magazine. It was part of an ad for Kodak color film.

I am uncertain if the pooch is an "Arf, Arf" dog or an "Urp, Urp" dog.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

FrankoSport,
Thanks for the information. That "boy" would be in his 50s or 60s now...

The character in the wallpaper is none other than Agent 47 from the excellent Hitman computer games.
