Ridiculous.


"640k of memory should be enough for anybody"

If you haven't already, don't waste $$$ on MS Office 2007. Also, when
you add programs, VISTA asks you every time if you really want to do
this. You can shut this off, but you ought to leave it on for a few
weeks so you have an idea of some of the intracacies of the OS.

You still have my file, but you have done a poor job of keeping it up to
date. You are slipping Krause.

BTW, any pictures of your 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat?

Lots of pictures.

Rockville, Damascus, Gaithersburg...one of those crowded 'burbs, right?
I mean, I can't tell them apart.

I didn't make the BAR-Robbins connection until you revealed yourself as
the "self-made" IT go-fer.

You should be ashamed of your self. Old age is very unkind to you. Did
you get your afternoon nap today?

Gosh, Harry! Bert and I have been talking golf for ages. I'm really
surprised you didn't make the connection.

You and Krause should be ashamed of yourselves for letting a "pretend
marine who soiled this newsgroup" to fool you for a couple of years.
Some other "pretend marines" and an army doggie figured out who I was
rather quickly after I changed my from address.

Actually, Bertie, you spent almost the entire time in my bozo bin, not
because I thought you were Bertie, but because your posts were just like
Bertie's. Therefore, all those posts you posted that were aimed at
me...why...how sad...I never saw them.
