Could've been a little more helpful in your request.

I'm gonna guess THEY SUCK so I don't have to google to find out what you
wanted to know but were too lame to have done all by your lonesome.

I gave the brand name and the type of utensil I was inquiring about and I
wanted to hear from someone who actually has some of their stuff and has an
opinion based on experience and not just advertising hype. Is that so hard
to understand???

I'm gonna guess that you do a little SUCKING yourself and I didn't have to
google to come to that conclusion either.

Well, ain't you just a ray o' sunshine!

You didn't give the material makeup. You didn't give any advertising
information that you spoke of. Plainly you didn't do any homework.

Andy this reply seems a little harsh. I thought it came across as a
simple request nothing more. Perhaps these fry pans exist where the OP
lives and are not readily available elsewhere. Google while good
doesn't have references to everything. I'm looking for a set of dishes
to complete an 8 piece setting. I won the first so need the second.
I've searched Google high and low yet nothing. I just need to know
where to buy them in Canada. I know they were bought recently so should
be available somewhere. I don't mind helping others with this type of
thing either.

Thank you ~patches~ for the moral support. The nice thing about a news
reader is you can list messages by sender, date sent, subject etc etc.
Whenever I get a reply that I consider harsh or rude, like Hank's was, the
first thing I do is list all messages by sender. This groups all the
messages by that sender in one place and I can see what the general tone of
their replies usually is. So, when I get one of these put-down type
messages directed at me, I usually respond in kind.
In sharp contrast to Hanks rely, I see that your replies are civil,
helpful and a pleasure to read. Its people like you that make these
newsgroups so valuable. Thanks again.

I often ask for help that may be available online for the simple
reason that my computer denies access to many websites. It gives me an
error message that makes me exit my browser and sometimes have to shut
down totally and restart. I've had several people tell me fixes that I
have tried to no avail. Since I can't afford to get a new computer, I
count on some of you here. This help is appreciated very much. I know
"Google is my friend" but sometimes it doesn't work for me. Sharon

Thank-you for your very kind words rq. I don't know the brand of frying
pans you are looking for but here's my experience. Lagostina makes nice
stainless steel pots & pans and non-stick fry pans. The non-stick fry
pans have a cephalon coating. I have two of them. They are heavy and
quite durable. I have Lagostina stainless steel pots that I really
like. I have one copper wrapped insert bottom fry pan that is good but
I bought it at a liquidation place so there is no name on it. I can
post a pic of it if you would like. My favourite fry pan is cast iron
for things like frittatas. As far as pots and pans go I prefer
stainless steel. I would highly recommend Jasi or Mirro for aluminum
pressure cookers or canners and Fagor for stainless steel pressure
cookers. We bought DD the Wolfgang Puck pots & pans last year for
Christmas. They are stainless steel and she loves them. Someone else
here also likes the WP I just can't remember who right now. We bought
DS a non-stick name I can't remember set that were equally as expensive
as the WP. He loves them. What I would recommend is staying away from
pots or pans that don't have that bottome wrapped inner core as the
single layer stainless steel burns a lot easier. My stock pots are like
this Good luck. I hope you find someone to give you a personal
experience of the pans you are seeking.

I ask for help too. I'm on dial-up after being used to high speed but
hs is not available here yet. Until just a couple of weeks ago anytime
I was online the phone line was tied up. Once those Bell workers got
off strike and started catching up I finally got a second line. There
must still be problems as my modem will suddenly boot me offline. I
really appreciate it when someone can point me in the right direction.
Google is great but for some of us it is difficult to get the answers
from it when we need it. It's very frustrating not to be able to get a
simple answer when needed IMO.

Sharon, have you considered reformatting the computer? There isn't any
reason to buy a new one when it sounds like you got some weird bug in your
current one or your Windows Registry is corrupted. Reformatting would mean
wiping the drive clean and restoring it back to factory settings. If you
bought the machine new from a major manufacturer, there should be some
system restore disks that came with your system. You just have to back-up
your important information to CD or something and then wipe it clean. It
runs so much faster when you do this, too!

It's an old computer, using windows 98. I can't afford to pay
someone to do it and I'm too computer challenged to do it myself. I'm
hoping by next summer to be able to get a new one. We're on dial up too
and that doesn't help. No chance of inprovement there because of where
we live. Thanks for the good thoughts.....Sharon

That's overkill. There is software available that will make repairs
automatically, like Clean My PC Registry and PCMightyMax... a whole lot
better than wiping a hard drive... like whaddaya gonna do, ripe your
hard drive for every little glitch... you'll be wiping your disc more
than your crotch.

Yeah, it's true, Sheldon, you're right, but not all those programs do the
trick. There are some stickler hijackers out there these days that just
keep returning every time you turn the PC back on. I just reformat about
every 4 months or so.

The software is updated regularly, just like virus scan software. Some
repair programs can be put on auto-pilot, then they work in the
background, continuously... some repairs take place instantaneously,
other repairs take place every time the PC is rebooted... you won't
ever know unless you check the software's history page. I don't see
the point in reformating the entire hard drive over tiny glitches that
can occur on a daily bases but can be taken care of as they occur, and
with no effort wahtsoever. The only reason I can understand for
someone not using the repair programs is the few bucks.

One time cost, $35: http://www.registry-cleaner.net

Before you take Sheldon's word for spending your hard earned dollars,
(SPAM) do search for some serious comparisons.

Someone like Sheldon who purports to know everything about everything
should not be trusted where your personal interests and finances are
concerned.

Imho,

Do you have to make an effort to be this big a jerk, or is it a
natural talent?
