HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA !!!

Semper-Fi

I hope our Northern friends will correct me, but I think you are on the right track.  If I remember correctly the Constitution of Canada was signed in 1867 which like our Declaration of Independence paved the way to freedom from British Rule.  We managed it with musket balls in a fairly short time frame, whereas Canada remained under limited political control of London until 1982 when it became a fully independent Nation.

Edited to Add:  Although it might have been more proper to say "limited political control of The Crown", I used London kind of like we use Washington to indicate the seat of Government.  My Apologies to the Qeen, no offense intended.  Uncouth Colonial that I be.

Yeah I've been meaning to talk to you about that "Threadkiller".....

It happens that if your comment pretty much "says it all" folks either agree, or might have something to add.  But if it is the former and answers the question or topic, you done good!  So feel good about it.

Welcome Aboard!

I'll second that motion! 

Thanks Amy!

What I do is choose the "print" option on the song and select "print to file" on my printer menu.  I then save the result to a folder in "my music" and name it [song/title}.PDF..... that format makes it possible to view or print a copy with almost whatever document viewer you have available.  The file tree is alphabetical so it is easy to navigate with just a click or two, and easy to edit or add notes or comments to, such as certain effects settings etc.

Hi BJ, From what I gather from the Linksoft website, it can import songs in Chopro format from "any file sharing" depository..... I'm guessing that you would have to basically copy your Chordie songbook into such a depository in order to "grab" them into the Songbook App. 

Chordie doesn't "have" any files to "share", so dragging songs directly from here to there poses a problem.  We are just an indexing site (with all the music strewn across the web) that makes it easier to find the music and display it in a consistant format..... kind of a specialized search engine.  An answer to an easy way to accomplish your goal is most likely to be found in the help and support pages/portal of the Application Home-page.

Sorry I can't do you more good than that;

Maybe we should open a "Geek" thread..... or is this it?  The topic kinda says it anyway so I guess we'll just keep on.

Amy, (and other interested parties) we mentioned the SSD drives earlier and then "Hybrid" drives vs our old reliable "spinning rust" hard disks.

I'm trying to find a simple way of phrasing this for both clarity and brevity.  SSDs are power thrifty so you'll likely have one in your tablet or notebook, also no moving parts so getting bashed around while running is not a big issue either. But they are not cheap (yet).  Hybrid drives are for the most part the same mechanical drives we are all familiar with, with the addition of a fairly large on-board cache where files used in a particular application can be stored rather than devoting RAM-space, The Cache is usually dumped when the application is closed so it can be made available to the next application you open.  Some will remember a similar function that does not use dedicated memory to do that was referred to as a "swap-file".  The goal is to save the time it takes to find and use information stored on the hard drive.

Conventional hard drives kind of come in 2 flavors.... 5200 and 7200 RPM, the slower ones usually in laptops (to save power) and have average "seek times" around 10Ms or so.  7200s seek in around 6-7Ms, and are the staple of desk-tops and workstations.  They are on mains power so saving a couple of amps is not an issue and the few milliseconds difference in seek time is nothing that most folks would notice.

Where SSDs shine is in something like Solid Works.... where you have literally thousands of little files (like lego blocks of every shape possible) strewn across vast expanses of disk space. Every time you make a modification to your shape/part/whatever, you have to go hunting down the necessary "blocks" to rebuild it...... saving 5 milliseconds on each little piece will add up to seconds or minutes watching the little hourglass spin. Money falls out of the equation and yes you should have that kind of drive for that kind of work!  For us normal folks though..... I got time, (I hope).

Nela buddy, get 'er fixed, get in shape and keep on strummin' (phishin' too)!!

There's too many fun things in life to have to lay around being in pain.  Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery!

You might try running it through chordpickout.com and see what it can come up with in the way of chord voicings.

Hope that helps;

You did say it was a laptop right?  And yes that would have "integrated" graphics unlike desktops that usually have an PCIE socket for installing an "upgrade" video card.  Once in awhile you can get a corrupt driver though, which will sure act like a failing graphics chip.  I know that HP had a whole batch of theirs come out of the factory with bad solder on the graphics "board" (not really a board per se)..... I had one of them and wound up having to buy a new mainboard (with the defect corrected), cost about $100 and a couple hours of tedious work to dismantle the thing and get it changed out.
Naturally it was out of warranty by the time it manifested. Been working great ever since!

+1 on Amy's recommendations.  I have used different but similar tools with good results, and those are user "safe" as any out there.  If you have installed and uninstalled stuff over time I would likely expect registry errors, but even just updates can "snarffle" things up over time (2 years is a good run without having to fiddle with your Windows install).

Surely worth the effort Russell.  I should also add, that you are a cautious surfer, so security essentials would likely serve you well.  You have to manually allow the install to run from your "Windows software preferences (options)" as it does not automatically install itself (even though "crap-ware" does) when installing a new Windows OS.
