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.

Most of us spell intricacies correctly.

You still have my file, but you have done a poor job of keeping it up to

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
