    My name is Matt Kabel and I help run the Buffalo Bills Backers in New York City. We have over 900 members, most of which are ex-patriates from Western New York. I have been following the budget crisis in Erie County, and have been updating our members. Today I updated them on the story that the two of you approached the Buffalo Bills about the money Erie owes them for the lease. How dare you take it upon yourself to make a move such as this that would affect million plus Bills fans in Western New York and around the country. You politicians have almost destroyed WNY with your corruption, and its now boiled over. Leave the Buffalo Bills out of this. They are tops among the organizations that have kept the community strong, unlike the politicians such as yourselves. You want to save money? Cut out the kickbacks and patronage, at least then the city will have a chance to rebound.

    Where's the standing ovation smiley when you need it?

  2. And it didn't really bother me, but does anyone else wonder whether Jack's Arab "helpers" in tonight's episode were written in to counter some of the negative stereotypes perpetuated by the rest of the show's portrayals (except perhaps the complexity of Behrooz)?

    I'm sure that's why they did it. It's been written in several articles that they are writing the show as they film it. So it's easy to change a character here or there and even alter the story as they see fit.

  4. I dunno guys, the way this thread has been hi-jacked by the mods talking about where it's going to bounce, I'm really considering bouncing this to the customer Service forum.  :blush:

    Deleteing a few of the posts about bouncing, then stick it to the PPP forum, will get it back on track.

  5. thanks a lot, I plan on getting season tix this year..just wondering if I should just get them outright at the ticket office..or try out this select a seat and see what it has to offer

    I can put the ticket office in touch with you through the Blue Coat program. What they will do is call you and you can set up a time to come out to the stadium and try out the different views without needing to wait till Select-A-Seat. Send me a PM for more details.

  6. And you remember those roaming numbers too, eh?  And that booklet you had to keep in the car full of different numbers... thank goodness those are gone!

    I took a trip from Syracuse to Indianapolis one time and gave the person I was going to see a list of the roaming numbers so they could track me down during the trip. I think there were about 8-10 numbers I had to look up.

  7. Umm...  What's a bag phone?  :devil:

     

    (yes, I'm only 29...  And my parents never had any cool gadgets aside from computers)

    Took me a while to find a picture, but this page has a picture of one. Think of a purse with a full size handset inside.

     

    The first cell phone I ever saw/used was in my uncles car, in the mid-80's. Antenna on the roof, big box under the seat, and the handset mounted between the seats in the front.

  8. Currently, Acer Travelmate 735TLV

    P3 - 650

    256Megs of ram

    12 Gig hard drive

    DVD drive

     

    Was top of the line when I bought it just about 5 years ago. Though this week I'm going to place my order for this HP at Staples. I'm going to up the memory to 1gig, and get the DVD burner with Dual Layer.

  9. That's accurate.  Analog handsets max at 0.6W, while the new digital handsets max at 0.06W, giving the older analog units better range, ie, better distance from their respective towers.  An old "bag phone" unit has 3.0W max, and were absolutely dynamite back in their day.

    My first phone was a bag phone, I think it was either 92 or 93 when I got it. I could take that anywhere and not worry about reception. But this was before nationwide coverage was the norm. So if I was out of my home area, you would call a number in the area I was in, then dial my number to reach me.

  10. Two other cableladies and I just got our new Season Ticket assignments !!

     

    Section 123 Row 7 Seats 15,16,17

    I'm disappointed in you. You did not contact me for your seasons. I bet you called the ticket office directly, instead of going through the Blue Coat program. :)
