they told us that 710 is good and that anything over 750 is excellent. those #s are on the Experian Vantage score which goes 501 to 990. it is the universal scoring system that they want to replace the 3 ficos. Ficos range from 300 to 850 I am 774 and Bill is 806

Julieboo, this is one of many font identification sites I found. I think you just have to upload a picture of it and they'll analyze it. Good luck! http://www.fontexpert.com/fhelpe.htm

Thanks Hukd!! Never knew about that site!! It did not match the font for me, but came close enough where I think I can use it and alter it a bit...

Okay, I have a question - hopefully someone can help me. My friend had loads of old music albums that she wants to put on CDs. Where do you bring them to do that? She lives in Staten Island, NY. I can't seem to find any information.

She's better off buying the CD of the album. But if the album is not available on CD then check this link out for an answer: Link Fixed link <24>

Probably 90% of it she can find and download a copy of them from usenet for free. Since your friend has already paid for the music in the first place, I really don't see a moral dilemma about downloading a copy for free. Unless your friend actually wants the sounds of crackling from playing old albums? (some people actually do like that sound) I have found copies of all of my 70's and 80's albums on usenet, but 50's and 60's are there all the time, too. PLus, your friend could pick and choose and maybe just download the hits from the albums instead of the whole albums.

Ginger, my sister just bought a gadget from The Source that hooks up to your computer and allows you to play your LP's while burning it onto a CD. Not sure exactly what the price was but definately less then $100.

Also, if your friend still has a turntable hooked into a stereo receiver, all she needs is one cable (double male ended 3.5 MM) and hook one end into the stereo headphones place on the receiver, and the other into one of the "ins" on their computer sound card. Then use whatever program you wish to record.

and Julieboo, we'll have to agree to disagree. I feel if I can make an mp3 out of the copy I bought, then downloading a copy to save myself the trouble is no big deal.

Ginger, there are tons of products these days that will let you plug your turntable into your computer and rip the LP to mp3. Ask at any of your electronics shops and you should find what you're looking for. Alternatively, you can also buy USB turntables these days, that will play your LPs directly.

Identifont suggests Rodchenko Condensed. It looks pretty close. http://www.identifont.com/list?1+id+0+RT+15+4BW+5

Kady, it sure does look like it would be fun. #2 and family gave me their itinerary this morning and I saw Duck Tour and had no idea what that was. Now, I do know what BASEBALL means on the itinerary. lol

I have never been on a duck tour, although I have been plenty of places that offer duck tours, and Bigdog and I always joke about "taking the duck." I suppose we better do one of those one of these days.

You betcha! Psst, congratulations on NOT getting kicked out of this thread. Probably should have asked this question in the travel thread... Walk The Freedom Trail?
