Sigh..and all the good toys are illegal here in California.

"IMHO, some people here give Jeff far more attention than he deserves, but obviously craves. The most appropriate response, and perhaps the cruelest, IMO, is to simply killfile and ignore him. An alternative, if you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post, listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02 worth."

Just send them a California Button to install before shipping to you.

No can do. Has to be "approved" before sale to California.

So Im stuck with the M1A and their clones...and Mini-14s...snicker...

Far too expensive for the one..and far to crappy and inaccurate for the other.

Actually I thought it had to be on the banned list, or it could be sold.

Its on the Banned list. FN-FAL and variations.

While the rest of the nation gave up the Assualt Weapons Bill a few years back..California had their very own..and they keep adding to it.

You know that most handguns are not able to be sold in California..not even NEW ones..high quality ones?

Every weapon that is intended to be sold in California, samples must be sent to Sacto for "testing". Now if the weapon is changed in ANY way..new sights, different barrel length, color, stainless over blue rather than blue over stainless...a sample of Each must be submitted to Sacto, along with a fair amount of money for "testing" before it can be sold in California.

One cannot buy a new Kimber here, they told California to f*ck off. Same with many other manufactures. Even Ruger.

Which of course has had some ramifications for law enforcement here.....manufactures are not selling police replacement arms to match those already sold. Many are simply telling California agencies to f*ck off. Barrett did, as did many others.

But hey..its California..a state run for 45 or more years by Demonrats...and #3 worst economy of the US.. One time of course..it was the 7th largest economy in the world. No more.

I read about that and the law clearly exempted private sales. So while you may not be able to buy the non-CA tested handgun at a retail gun store in CA, there was no restriction on privately importing one into CA.

Actually..you cant import a handgun into California without going through a FFL...and you cant bring in a "non approved" or prohibited firearm of any kind to California.

1. I am moving into California and I own several handguns. What are the new-resident registration requirements?

You are considered to be a personal handgun importer as defined by California law. You may bring all of your otherwise California-legal firearms with you, but you must report all of your handguns to the DOJ within 60 days as required utilizing the New Resident Handgun Ownership Report. PDF logo [PDF 518 kb / 2 pg] You are not required to report rifles or shotguns. You may not bring ammunition feeding devices with a capacity greater than ten rounds, machineguns, or assault weapons into California.

(PC sections 12001(n), 12072(f)(2))

Have a fun time reading this bit of trash....

Its worse than the US Assault Weapon Ban was. And its never going away. At least..not until all the Leftards are dead and bulldozed into mass graves.

Oh..before I forget... Handguns "certified for sale in California"

List of "good guns"

A list of those that have lost Certification..

It should be noted that several Glock models are not on the Cert list..but are allowed for Law Enforcement carry..of course. As well as virtually any handgun on the Removed list.

And No handgun NOT on the Good Gun list may be imported or sold...except to cops.

The price at DSARMS.com was $1150.

I got my Acer delivered from Walmart today. When I ws taking the mini-tower out of the foam wrap, I heard a clink, clunk, rattlerattle. Popped the side case off and found a loose motherboard. 2 screws loose, 1 tight, and TWO FELL OUT. Whew, I'm sure glad I didn't just turn it on and watch the magic smoke disappear.

What's the best way to xfer all my proggies and data from the XP box into the Windows Vista Business box? I haven't done this in a long while.

I'd make a crossover network cable and connect them directly together. "Share" the XP C:\ drive and Bob's your uncle.

There's a utility to do this, MS supplies. To go along with, assuming you don't have a home LAN or the like, various manufacturers supply a USB interconnect, $20 was what I paid from Micro Center. I used the utility at work to go from XP to Vista, it more or less worked for data, I still had to reinstall programs. The days of just copying program files over are GONE. I think MS calls it something like the File and Settings Transfer Wizard or some such. Haven't used it for a year or better, don't remember the details.

I was forced into Vista at work, I hate it. A lot has to do with the way the LAN honchos have stuff locked down, but things that used to be fairly obvious to change are now buried, sometimes beyond retrieval. Only benefits I can see are for remote management of large numbers of machines, not home use.

After digging some more, I believe it's called Easy Transfer.

I have a guaranteed update to Win 7 Pro with this new box, so I'm going to wait to xfer the stuff over after doing a wipe of Vista and clean install of W7Pro, probably with a 16gb thumb drive and Easy Transfer.

Pull the disk out of the XP box and plug it into the Vista box.

Better still, boot the Vista box off the XP disk and trash the Vista disk :-|

Heh! Yup.

Ain't no guarantee that Larry's new machine has any PATA ports. Prolly SATA based. Maybe buy one of those PATA / USB converter cables, if he really doesn't want to network the two machines together.

Nah, I can do a clean format and install of a real operating system. Why waste a perfectly good hard drive? I understand that upgrading from Vista leaves tons of nasty DLLs and other crap on the drive.

Everyone I've talked to about Vista hates it. Techs despise it, saying Win7 is the debugged version of it. I'll be doing a clean install of Win7Pro shortly (once I get the "free" guaranteed upgrade mailed to me on my nickel), then using Easy Transfer and a 16/32/64GB thumb drive to swap old goodies to the new box.

Thanks, guys.

It's an Acer Veriton in the small box, so it doesn't even have room for an extra hard drive. It's whisper quiet, though, and 2.5GHz with a couple gigs of mem and 7,200rpm drive, so it should be fast.

I don't know if Ubuntu Linux supports SATA drives yet. You may have to install XP. :)

I overwrote a Vista notebook computer with XP. Only thing missing was a sound driver; I was able to download and install that afterwards. Worked great!

Roger that.

The old box had XP on it. The new box gets Win7Pro, TYVM. I may put another mama in the old one and put up with the hiss from the old monitor just long enough to load Ubuntu on the old one. Speed wouldn't matter so I could get a used mama cheap. But I won't do that for my main comp.

I avoided several intermediate versions of DOS, Win 4.0 (and other .0s from then on, Win ME, Win NT, and (almost) Vista. I loved Win 3.1,

2000, and XP so far.
