OK so I made my next order, I kept going back to it and changing. I wound up with:

Thug juice
Hawk Sauce
Ecto Cooler
Peanut Butter
Whipped Cream
Sticky bun
Lightspeed - is a reorder
Rainbow Sherbert

I ordered these in the 30 and 50 mil sample bottles, maybe they will last more than a few days.
I keep thinking I still missed adding something :(

Got my order yesterday and dove right in as I always do.

Blue Moo - Yummy!
Banana Cream Pie - Yummy!
Root Beer - Yummy! This tastes more like the "root beer barrels" hard candy, than soda.
Peanut Butter - Blech - straight to the steep bin
Whipped Cream - Pretty good, albeit subtle - steep bin

got a few others that I haven't tried yet.

Okay all you smarty pants. I downloaded Ubuntu on this xp machine. 3 hours later it led me to agree to terms
after I read and thoroughly understood, then sent me a confirmation email, then it went to a page where I burned
to DVD, twice, then puter shut down. When it restarted it booted up windows as normal. Am I to ASSume it
downloaded Ubuntu to the DVD's and I have to load DVD's to install?

Depends - if you installed it on a new partition, you would have to boot into it. During startup does it give you the option of which partition to boot?

Did you really install it? or just download it - then burn it?

If the install isn't starting on boot with a DVD in the drive - you may have to change the boot sequence in the BIOS, by putting the dvd drive first.

Correct. Is this going to be a dual boot machine? And did you download the live DVD? Try booting from the DVD first before installing.

If you have the live version then boot from the DVD and it should give you the option to install or load the live version. Load the live version first and play around with it. Make sure it functions with your hardware.

Downloaded and burned it. Problem was I used an external DVD drive, and had unhooked it by mistake.
D drive doesn't work.
Should I burn it on the C drive if that's where windows is? It is the only option and I want to still be
able to use both right now.

Don't do that. Hehe

Can get it to install fine, just waiting to hear if it should be installed on C drive where the windows is also
installed (there is plenty of room). It is the only option it is giving me and I want to be able to use both.

ideally - you would put it on a different drive. You can partition the drive though...splitting it in half (or whatever fraction you want) and install it on C. Make sure you have at least 5GB free to do it...more is better.

On the physical hard drive, sure. But not on the C:\ partition. If the physical hard drive is not partitioned, you should create a partition and install it to that partition. Windows will assign a drive letter to the new partition.

You can create a partition in Disk Management. Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management. From here you can create another partition on your hard drive. Ubuntu shouldn't need more than 20-50 gigs of space depending on what you want to do with it. Once the partition is created it will show up as D: or E: or F:, etc. That's where you will want to install Ubuntu.
