Well, I'm happy to be reporting that my computer seems to be doing pretty well starting just now. Of course, we've been without power...at all...throughout my entire neighborhood for this afternoon and power just came back on line. Wow, you ought to see the way craziness in driving increases when the red lights go blank. They immediately fill up the surrounding side streets, cause they can go FASTER...!! That alone tells you that there is a problem in lalalaland !

BTW..note on human behavior.
You really have NEVER seen basic (in)human nature come out, like when a major earthquake occurs in your area...been there/done that TWICE ! Fascinating and disturbing at same time !!!

Mark, you're not just in the wrong era, you're in the wrong car. You're struggling with a Chevy (a pc) while the rest if the world is driving the new Ford (Mac)!

I'm still using a Vista laptop with IE8. Some sites (including Facebook) no longer support this combination. Tried to "upgrade" my laptop last night to no avail. Looks like a new something is in order.

But first, gotta get my Model A engine fixed. Priorities, donchano.

My Asus laptop has Vista Home Premium and I like it, but as of a few days ago when I go to ebay homepage I no longer get the long lists of suggestions. I miss that because that was one thing good that ebay did. It just says "opps, something happened" or something to that effect. I wonder if it's because ebay no longer supports Vista?

But why would anyone want a NEW Ford?

You can have an old one (much better), or something new that's actually good!
