Hello all.

 

I often wonderd if I had a spare £5000 what that would buy me? I would at least get some thing I would be proud of owning :D Then I found this, come on know how many of you would spend that amount of hard earned cash on a blade like this. I know I have only just started but am I missing some thing with this blade :dunno:

This is suitable for martial artists, long-distance lorry drivers, squaddies and disgruntled scoutmasters. It is not for sale to miners or those involved in the coal industry. Amen.

 

To our fair English friends, what's a Squaddy ?

 

The rust is in excellent condition.

The ancient Chinese Samurais believed that the sword was the soul of the Samurais. In Japanese the word Katana means "sword shaped" and it was used for chopping off your finger and took years of practice to master unless you were Tom Cruise. The unique tempered construction and the trademark wavy edge show that this piece is the work of an ancient master, and the signature on the puntang of the blade tells us this is Ooya Fukanaka. It was probably made for his lord or "Mitsubishi" or maybe for a friend or colleague or customer maybe. This is suitable for martial artists, long-distance lorry drivers, squaddies and disgruntled scoutmasters. It is not for sale to miners or those involved in the coal industry. Amen.

 

Yeah..umm...right.

Chinese samurais.....finger cutting...puntang?? isn't puntang something else?

:oops:

Wow...that has to be a joke, right? :doubt:

Hi Milt,

 

what browser do you use?

I remember I had that bug once using Internet Explorer. Try Firefox instead. I don´t think it has anything to do with your OS.

 

cheers,

Or simply use a working OS ----> Mac OSX 10.4

 

together with a macBook Pro. I love it. Used Micro$hit over 18 years but now I am getting older and it is no kick for me any longer to beat all the bugs. I enjoy more to switch my Mac on, work with it and switch it off, switch it on work with it and switch it off..... continue....

 

Instead of: switch it on, new Hardware found, new update installed, please reboot, new virus information available, please reboot, Bluescreen, Boot in save mode, deinstall driver, reeinstall driver blablablabla... :rant:

 

 

Try it, it is different, it's hard at the beginning but when you simply do what the mac tells you your workflow is sooooooo smooooooooth!
