Mine is not anything special, version 11, I think. My computer is a decent Surface Pro 3 but also nothing special. Using the headphones it came with, with a USB adapter for the two plugs to go in. Spent 4 minutes teaching it my voice with john F. Kennedy's inaugural address. Done. I bet you would like it.Quote:

Surface Pro 3 and 4 are both plenty powerful for it I'd imagine. Most of my computers for work are pretty poor by modern standards, but other than this they don't run anything that needs more. My personal one is screaming fast, but I knew I'd need it. I7, SSD, 16GB, but the other ones are really undersized for the task.Quote:

What's a rice weevil look like?Quote:

This is the i5-4300U CPU, 2.50 GHz, 8GB RAM, 256gb SSD Surface Pro 3. I did not upgrade to Windows 10, so it is running 8.1 pro. At least early results are very promising with the headphone and dictation software.Quote:

I'll explain more later, but it boils down to a decision to fill corn hole beanbags with rice.
"Florida = Discount Australia"
My son was in a wedding recently. The groom gave all of his groomsmen handcrafted, absolutely gorgeous cornhole sets. A few days ago, the bride (I coached her in elementary school--I am OLD!!!) asked my son if he noticed anything--insects, rats, whatever. Apparently her husband filled up the bean bags with.....rice. And if there's something you're supposed to do to the rice to make sure there are no issues, he didn't do it. All over his bedroom. (He doesn't live at our house now, but it's still "his" bedroom, and that's where the game--and rice bags--were stored.)Quote:

Indeed, they got tossed.Quote:

Hope you were test driving a Go-Kart.
Nah. Slow old man run thru neighborhood. Surprised it was this hot by noon, and thought I had beaten the worst of it. I didn't.

Wow, you guys have gotten as exciting as watching paint dry.
May have to merge in the PG-13 joke thread to get this thing going good again.
A minister, a duck and a rabbi walk into a bar. Bartender says "what is this, some kind of joke?"
No wait, come back, it gets better.
WD-40 is really nature's ointment. I'm convinced of it.
If it sticks and shouldn't, WD-40.
If it doesn't stick, and should, duck tape.
Does a man really need anything else?
A knife, and fork as well as a pack of matches would be nice to have
Mrs. BEvans is the same way. She carries a sweater with her to put on whenever she's in a store/movie theater/restaurant/etc.Quote:

I get some residual cooling from the hallway, but it's a balmy 79 in my office right now. So I feel your pain, but just in a different way.
I'd probably learn to dislike that, but for now, I'd like to trade...Quote:

Here's a shot of our backyard when we were down there in May. It's amazing the difference in sand like 20 minutes apart.

Have stayed at Perdido Key, it's a very nice place. Right up my alley on quiet and relaxing.
Funny thing--we stayed at Pensacola Beach. Probably 20-30 minutes from McGuire's, too :).
(Maybe not quite that long, but not exactly next door to it, either. Probably 15 minutes.)
Add my steak to y'alls backyards and we have got one fine get together.
Awesome photos of the beaches guys.

Breathtaking.
I am hoping to take Grammy to Fort Walton Beach for our anniversary (November 1).
It has been too long since I have been to the Gulf...
