Love the tradition.

I like the senior Bush, but I don't understand the idea of naming ships
after people who are still alive. It seems weird to me.


To the person it's better than waiting until your dead I suppose.

I dunno. Reminds me of a line in a movie in which one of the characters
says "I check the obits in the morning to make sure I haven't died."

:)

BTW, your bravery with VISTA convinced me to toss XP off my Apple Mac
laptop and install a fresh VISTA in its place.


I'll tell you, I was not looking forward to a new computer with Vista having
heard all the horror stories. I even considered a less powerful, smaller
machine that had XP installed.

But now that I've been using it, I really like it. It hasn't hiccupped once
and I've been doing
a bunch of video editing, DVD burning, etc. that consumes a lot of RAM and
CPU time.
When I go upstairs to get a file or something from the older XP machine, it
feels old fashioned.

Knock on wood.
