No, calvados is a brandy made from generally certain types of cider variety apples.

Berneroy XO calvados.  $30 at Total Wine.  Not bad for an approx. 25 year old spirit.  I've tasted different calvados in the $200-$300 range.  This isn't in that category, however, you can't go wrong for the price and age.

I splurged a bit recently.  I just finished my Master's project paper draft so I bought a bottle of Laubade XO Armagnac and a bottle of Germain Robin Craft Method Brandy.  For when I finally graduate?  I bought the last bottle of Maison Surrenne Heritage 1875 cognac from Caddell & Williams...

Mount Gay Black Barrel.  I'm not sure about this one.  It's rather light for being aged in charred ex-bourbon barrels.  I was expecting a bit more flavor, but it's pretty light in that department too.

Thank you sir.  That appeared to do the trick.  It was set to download Flash in my preferences but never did.  I uploaded the newest version and it appears to have taken care of the issue.

Everyone, thanks for the input.  Yes, I agree the issues with the ISP speed should not be a justifiable issue to bring the Apple store.  However, I had reset my router and tested my speeds and they were right around where they should be.  If it was an ISP issue, that should have cleared it up...

Thought I had things handled on this.  Reset the router, etc and my speed was good.  Tried the Mac.  Nope.  Worse than trying to watch a video on dial up.  So I plugged in my old Dell and tried.  Perfect.  Definitely a Mac issue.  Not sure what the issue is but I'm going to the Mac store this...

Not sure what happened with the above post...when I hit quote it posted instead of letting me add anything. Anyway...this Macbook Pro is using OSX Version 10.8.3. Processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5. Memory is 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. Not sure it matters, however it has a 256 GB solid state hard...

 

Interesting...A number of videos I've watched have major buffering issues.  Mac knows it is an issue as I've seen it posted a number of times on their forum.  Youtube also knows it is an issue.  That is why they are pushing a new non Adobe Flash program (HTML5)  I guess Apple and Adobe have...

I recently bought a Macbook Pro as my Dell XPS literally fell apart and I wasn't having any of that Windows 8 joke.  Anyway, I love my Mac, however, for the price I paid, one would assume the thing should function flawlessly on Youtube.  I guess I was wrong.  It has something to do with the...

Coke Zero for me.  I need to get up by 3 am.  However, I bet one glass of R.L. Seale's rum would help me fall asleep quicker than usual...right?

Picked up some Tanqueray Malacca gin tonight.  A lot less juniper than the usual gin.  

I keep wanting to pick this up.  It's $199 at Total Wine.  Seems it's gone up about $30 since the last time I checked.   Today I picked up a bottle of Angel's Envy and Red Breast 12 YO Cask Strength.

I'll take a looke at LibreOffice.  Thanks again.

They can't even fix it.  They clean the Office Suite from the laptop and do a fresh install and although the first issue was resolved, there are new problems.  I now know the reason I switched to a Mac.   If there are any other "Office" type software out there that is compatible with MS and...

Thanks Christo,   I tried a couple different things to no avail.  I just dropped it off at the local computer shop.  Worse case scenario it costs me $50 to fix.  I didn't want to, however I really need the laptop as this Dell is dying.  A cracked screen doesn't help either.

Hello everyone,   After the pain of transfering all my files, favorites, etc from my Dell on to my MacBook Pro, I thought all was good.  Not so.  When I transferred everything over, it did so in a new account.  I had my regular account that had Microsoft Office installed on, but I could not find...

This past weekend I decided to pull the trigger.  I bought a Mac Book Pro with Retina Display.  It's got a 13 inch screen with 8 Gigs of RAM and a 256 Gig solid state drive.  Since I am a grad. student I got a student discount.  It was slightly more expensive than the Dell XPS I bought a few...

Thanks everyone...   I am going to look a little closer at Lenovo.  That is, if I go PC.  At least I've narrowed it down between Lenovo and a Mac.
