it is approx. 10 ft tall by 23 inches wide. bottom ~2/3rds has several coats of magnetic primer. the entire wall has a couple coats of dark grey chalkboard paint. so we can use magnets to stick stuff to it, or write on it with chalk. both the magnetic primer and chalkboard paint were purchased at our local Menards store.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

I deleted Disk Utility.app for OS 10.8 from my dads laptop because his operating system is OS 10.6 so the 10.8 utility didn't work. I then showed him, in a patronising manor, where to find disk utility for 10.6. it was in the utilities folder.
