Just last night I downloaded Firefox for the first time ever, and I LOVE it. I noticed the Beta of 3.0, but I went with the regular version 2.0.0.14, as I will let others be the guinea pigs.</p> <p>The add-ons for Firefox are great.

we were on the north west coast of Ireland, in Co Donegal, where the water is crystal clear, we were not looking for artifacts but lobster! but on that coastline and close to where we were some Spanish ships from the Armada, 13 in all sank in storms, only a few have been located, one was The Girona, lots of pieces of eight,spanish gold and so forth were located by a French diver and his team, they hid the items in an underwater cave then when they presumed they had collected nearly all they announced the find, they has licence to search but were wise enough to wait until all artifacts were recovered as they knew other divers would turn up, which they did, but only found a few pieces, funny you should show up tonight as i was looking at wet suits this morning in my local shop, did not buy!</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29617 Sat, 17 May 2008 02:25:29 +0000 robm 29617@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>K8 thank you, the program worked well and your instructions about the program and registration were excellent. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3185/page/5#post-29616 Sat, 17 May 2008 01:55:16 +0000 Paulga 29616@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>maizeydaze........i am still uploading photo's to Divishare and as a result of how you could see that guy at the castle and see his watch i just added "Tea Break" shown before but now you can see what i was eating?<br /> <a href="http://www.divshare.com/download/4516462-549" rel="nofollow">http://www.divshare.com/download/4516462-549</a></p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3185/page/5#post-29615 Sat, 17 May 2008 01:53:48 +0000 scubaguy 29615@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Paulga<br /> Thanks for the reply,and I'm fasinated by the info you have given.It's hard to believe that more divers haven't dove the area just off the castles edge.Even at a depth of 100 feet and with poor visibility I have found many items.Some of them I've kept for my own collection,but if the item has historical value or importance they were turned over to local historical society.Most of the items I've found are from ship wrecks,but it sounds as if much can be found just at the waters edge of the castle.<br /> Although at that depth and low visibility,it takes a trained diver with a hardy attitude to make the dive.<br /> The amber color is most likely due to tanic acid from the vegitation,as you say the possibilities would be <strong>mind blowing</strong>. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1450/page/21#post-29614 Sat, 17 May 2008 01:11:55 +0000 jableader 29614@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>how about Natural reader from <a href="http://www.naturalreaders.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.naturalreaders.com/</a> it costs US$50 </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3185/page/5#post-29613 Sat, 17 May 2008 00:12:55 +0000 Paulga 29613@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>copmom.......that should read, yes do start uploading?.......must be sunstroke on my part.</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3185/page/5#post-29612 Sat, 17 May 2008 00:06:15 +0000 Paulga 29612@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>maizeydaze..........WOW! i just had a look at the castle in full size! this is a fantastic facility, opens up new ideas, watch this space?

As for artifacts! there have been lots found but tons of stuff still there, and i do mean TONS, one of the islands i visit often (uninhabited) they found the largest hoard of viking gold in europe, that was Hare island on Lough Ree, only 5 mins upriver from where i live, we had a viking battle on the lake with about 100 ships, most sank, as many again were lost in a big storm, none of these have been found, only one diving club in the area, a small club, mostly dive for bodies, boat accidents,<br /> the deepest i have found on my sonar is just over 100 feet, the water is peaty, amber in places, artifacts have been found on the shore when the water drops, swords,daggers,cannonballs,amulets, crosses,so whats below, mind blowing. </p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3297#post-29611 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:24:55 +0000 Paulga 29611@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>funkymom....i just clicked to that site and they have just changed to a wiki-style and now its the 120+ software categories available to all users......just goes to show how fast the pc world changes.</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2541/page/15#post-29610 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:18:48 +0000 Paulga 29610@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I like you...i LIKE you...i like YOU.......sorry got carried away, but i like it Rob!</p> <p>An old Lady staggered into the police station and said to the duty officer....i have just been Graped.....after a long pause the duty officer said....you mean Raped?.....Graped said the old lady, there was a bunch of them!</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3175/page/5#post-29609 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:04:10 +0000 Paulga 29609@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I know its just a list compiled by four people and supposed to be the "most read" and i was surprised not to see Gullivers Travels,Ivanhoe,Black Beauty, and perhaps those books were classed as "read when young" however as i read on average two books per week and have done so for about 50 years i was still surprised to have read 15 on the list, and i note thats about the average amount so far from those who made comment, that would indicate to me that its a pretty fair list, my reason to credit this was because over the years i have looked at other, Best Read, Most Read.....and so forth lists, and usually only have read one or two! what i would be interested in finding out from the forum, what were the books we read that amounted to 14 to 16? anyway my books were as follows<br /> The Great Gatsby<br /> The Prince<br /> Slaughterhouse<br /> The Republic<br /> Brothers Of Karamazov<br /> The Catcher In The Rye<br /> For Whom The Bell Tools<br /> The Picture Of Dorian Gray<br /> The Grapes Of Wrath<br /> Brave New World<br /> Call Of The Wild<br /> Swiss Family Robinson<br /> Catch 22<br /> Lord Of The Flies<br /> Bluebeard</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3215/page/7#post-29608 Fri, 16 May 2008 22:20:08 +0000 Paulga 29608@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Gwai.........glad that you don't care, because none of us do,and if you stick to this thread you may go around the bend,i notice you just joined the forum, hope you stay with us and welcome! its not that we care, but welcome.</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1450/page/21#post-29607 Fri, 16 May 2008 21:27:48 +0000 delenn13 29607@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, I really don't remember as to why the Op requested it, harpo2448.
