They have no mouthpiece as they are bellows blown.

I get questions like:

Are those run by batteries? You aren't blowing them up. I answer "There are 4 D cells in the back of the bag. They seem satisfied with that. I wonder why they never notice that my right arm is flailing away blowing the bag up?

Have a look at...

That was a pretty good infomercial for Linux. I may switch myself.
Have you tried a MAC?

A MAC? Does he mean a Big MAC?

Obviously he is already gone because he hasn't replied yet, and knowing him, always conected, he would have replied by now!!! I wish I was in a vacation myself, but it has to wait at least 'till sept.
Just in case MC, even though you are already gone and having fun ....
I WISH YOU A GREAT ONE!!!

Yeah I saw that post just before I found this one (I was surfing both boards at the same time) I doubt that it'll get a lot of replies probably just fade away.

Thanks! I wish I was already gone. Nah, I gotta work for 2 more days. I was sleeping all day because I pulled 2 nights on, and tomorrow I have to work for 2 days on, so I was trying to switch my schedule. Now I have to try to sleep some more for about 5 or 6 hours before I go to work. Crazy schedules sometimes.

Thanks everyone, and I recieved a few emails so let me clarify:
I'm not really leaving linux OR LQ. Just vacation to see my little brother and sister graduate HS.

Cool

Even though you may not see this for ten days, I hope you have a good vacation. If I know MasterC though, he'll check in from a cyber cafe in a day or two...

BTW where you going?

Absolutely! I've gotta squeeze in a post at some point, I just won't have my solid connection here like usual I'm practicing speaking binary, it's not as easy as the modems make it seem (bwww eeee bwwopp mrrnrnrrnrnrr)

BTW, I'll be going to Salt Lake City, UT (my hometown).

Also, I just found out one of my friends there just got a cable connection, so that might mean I'll be able to spend a few extra minutes here while on vacation!

I don't leave til Wednesday though, so I'm squeezing in every moment I can. In fact, I work in about 4 hours, but can't sleep so I'm posting away It's an addiction, worse than anyone can imagine (well, other than my fellow LQ Addicts of course )

Cool

God I love this board!

MasterC - enjoy the break - I'm fairly sure my system will keep working if you're not there!

Fancypiper - I hope you have a lot of fun. I noticed your break with tradition, though. Normally your posts end with 5 links to sites to do with the question, but what do I find....not a single link to beer pages OR bagpipe pages. I feel strangely let down.

Trolling on Windows forums - hahahahahaha

my apologies, fancypiper, but I come from a scots background and automatically thought of the mouth pipes.
