I've still got the MSA 76 Classic lacquer (walnut) we talked about before.

Lloyd is playing a guitar set up Day. Pedals 123 are then 321 and left and right knees reversed if e's are on the left.

Yep that looks like a well kept Classic XL D-10, a little newer than my 76 Classic. I believe MSA used to put the E's on the right usually back then, which means this a relativity unmolested guitar. Worth more than he is asking, IMO.

Larry, I'd say give the teacher a try for a few lessons and see what happens. You can make a lot of beautiful music with that
guitar.

Much ado about nothing

Ok Erv, I'll play the staightman.
Whats a Henway?

Looks interesting. Of the 3 major BSD versions Open BSD tries to focus on security. FreeBSD is very stable and handles heavy loads (like high bandwidth servers). There is also pcBSD that tries to be a little more desktop friendly. It sounds like KARL is coming to FreeBSD on the next release 11.1 sni...

That exploit was in one of tentacles of the octopus called SystemD :twisted:, a started by a couple of Red Hat Linux developers that think the thing to do is make all linux distributions alike. Thus allowing software vendors to write just one version for all the linux systems and be done.The bad thi...

Gary, here is a link to a PDF copy of the original MSA owners manual. The new and the old MSAs are basically different companies. If you need parts check out Michael Yahl's website http://www.psgparts.com/ for MSA as well as other brand parts.

I wouldn't. I've had my 76 D10 MSA Lacquer for about ten years now. Never played C6 for several years, Eventually I started experimenting on C6. Until then I just laid a small towel over the pickup area to protect the strings (and my arm). My guitar just sets at home, so I don't have the problem of ...

Here is a link that discusses Linux and virus'. There a few reasons why Linux is less suseptible to virus' then say Windows. https://www.linux.com/learn/myth-busting-linux-immune-viruses 1. Almost all Linux distributions set up a limited user. Windows, by default sets you up as an administrator. Wiz...

If you use Firefox web browser, they have an addon for that.

Here a link to their site.

Got it, Thanks again Dick

Can't sign into one drive. Don't have a Microsoft account any more. I can't remember my hotmail password.

Jack, not arguing. It's not about better, its about security.

The sensible thing to do is leave windows forever. Microsoft knows how to write a better operating system. Years ago the marketed Xenix, a Unix clone for business purposes. I think they licensed the Unix source code to do it. Windows has never been a secure operating system, and apparently they don'...

"It appears that you are an administrator level USER. That is the default configuration of a new install of Windows" Thats what allows most of the exploits to work. Most people that have a computer don't know the difference between account types. Click on a bad link, or load a contaminated...

I started out back in the 90s with Red Hat, I've tried Suse, Gentoo, Slackware, Knoppix (one of the early live cds), Ubuntu and then Debian ( which Ubuntu, Mint, and a bunch of other distros are based on) I stayed with Debian since the early 2000s, But lately have started using a derivative of Debia...

Actually, Open Office started on Linux as a fork From Stsroffice, and then came a Windows version. Libre Office is a fork of Open Office due to some disagreement on the open source license. I believe Libre office is also available for windows. Other great Programs that are available for both OSs are...

I am all in favor of people using the brand of guitar, amp, picks, bar, and brand of operating system they want. As I said there are a few programs that I boot into Windows to use because the Linux equivalent does not do want I need. But for most everything else, Linux works for me. I run it Linux o...

Microsoft users tend to say "If I started using Linux, I would have to learn how to do things all over again", never realizing that is exactly what they do with each new version of windows. Change for the sake of change? Linux does tend to be more secure, because most of the nefarious type...

Yes, pretty much. I had a friend that was set up to boot win 98, xp, dos,and 3 distributions of Linux on the same computer. Remember, to back up everything you can't stand to lose before you attempt the installation. As Randy and Scott suggested, try one of the "live" cds or dvds. It will ...

I've been running Linux since the late 90's. Currently running a derivative of Debian Jessie called Devuan. I use it for most things, surfing, email, audio and video, also use GIMP for picture touch up. Libre Office handles everything I need to do in word processing. I also dual boot with windows, b...

I had right hip replaced (Anterior) in 2011. No problems playing PSG. With the procedure you had, there is less damage done to the muscles. The only problem that I have, is I can't quite get my foot up on the opposite leg to put my shoes on in the morning. The doctor said there was less chance of di...
