John, Paul, George and Jimmie? On June 3rd, 1964 Ringo Star having collapsed with tonsillitis was hospitalized. The Beatles on the eve of their tour of Australia were in a real pickle. George Martin suggested using a stand-in dummer and he recommended Jimmie Nicol. Jimmie had been on a session that played Beatle covers titled Beatlemania so he already knew the songs and their arrangements. John and Paul accepted the idea but George out of loyalty to Ringo threatened to pull out of the tour. George: "If Ringo's not going, then neither am I. You can find two replacements." George caved. With a quick rehearsal at Abbey Road Studio, Jimmie packed his bags and 27 hours later he was on stage playing in front of 4,500 Beatle fans. Nicol was given a mop-top hairstyle, borrowed Ringo's suits and his black pearl Ludwigs (see photo). Jimmie played a total of eight shows with the Beatles. Ringo rejoined the tour on June 14th in Melbourne. Jimmie Nicol was a great drummer who came along and played Ringo's parts perfectly and then quickly faded into obscurity.

Facial Recognition By 600 Law Enforcement Agencies
T&C replied to ICanSleepWhenI'mDead's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Its not just Iphones... my samsung has facial recognition. Their newer ones are basically an Iphone that runs on android. -
The beginning of the best years... if this doesn't get you moving you are already dead. Enjoy...

One of those I can picture the face but cannot name the name deals here.
-
Hehe, not him... the guy with the aged face and white/blond hair. I think its on CBS.
-
The dude from Dateline? Can't remember his name.

Mid to late 60's... unknown photo.

Could be that they had to leave their comfortable place to work on the mono version of Pepper.

Late 1967? London? Mick having tea and smokes, no idea who the chick is.
-
Ha! I don't like to keep these hanging around too long so someone else can have a go... but, that is Debbie Harry... Blondie. Call HER lol.

A "small" learning curve could help her out, it keeps the brain active. My Dad, who lives in Covington... not that far from Atlanta, is 84 now. Got him his first smart phone a couple of years ago and a smart tv last year. He still uses his phone book lol. I'm not up there much so he goes with what he knows. At least he can still follow the Bills and NFL action.

I didn't mean to turn the corner on the thread topic... are you considering a new laptop for her? It will make her more mobile... but I don't know the full situation either.
-
Hehe... George Harrison told me that. 92? God love that woman. Best course of action is probably to get her a laptop for the best one you can get at $400 or so and get a remote mouse so it is kind of similar. She might like being able to move around to other places, or outside, to do what she does. I had a tower forever, like since the 90's and a laptop changed my whole way of thinking about it a couple of years ago. Looks like I'll do the same... new laptop. Walmart usually has good deals on them. BTW... how are you liking the Aldi?

Think I saw a Tyson punch there...

All things must pass...

Abbey Road parking lot, 1967. Taken by a fan who still has this. They didn't look happy at that time.
-
Won't be any pain lol... I'll just go get a new one. Funny how laptops are 1/3 the price of phones nowadays.
-
Thanks for that. I wasn't elaborate enough in my initial post. I have ad blocker pro, 10 bit malware... run Spybot S&D once in awhile, and a couple of other things. Should be no problem to post here, no? If it turns out to be a problem I'll clean this one back to factory settings, donate it to a school, and just go buy a new one.
-
I've known about this for quite awhile but let me ask you this... what exactly happens? I get that there are no new updates but if someone just browses the web... here, a couple of other boards, youtube, Bills/Sabres games etc. does it really matter? Its not like I'm trading stocks or banking on this thing. (Acer laptop running 7)

Same here... saw them at the Aud in 1976, ticket was $6.00... still have the stub. Shame I don't remember much of it though, we were plowed.

You're getting warmer...
