For years my saying has been, "There's no such thing as a painless upgrade".
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

I like to compare 'puter ownership to BOAT ownership.....
The best two days you'll ever have with it are
the day you BUY it and the day you SELL it.

Too bad computers don't keep their value as well as boats do!
Hey, Ogg, tell the boy happy birthday for us!

We just got a new Dell laptop, with a wireles card,
highspeed internet through the cable company,
and a wireless router, so our son can play x-box 360 at the same time we are online!
Now it takes only 3 minutes from powering the laptop
on to being online, whereas my son's laptop
with dial up was at least 10 minutes.
*cus the Jefferson's theme - 'well we're movin' on up!

Yay' wait till you get the bill that will be new too.
When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal that wins out unless good men & women stand as a vanguard against abuse.

We got DSL recently and what a change! It takes much less time for us than it did when we were on dial-up, and we ged so much more (goofing off) done in the time we spend online now.

I only look up Rush and other very important worldly matters.
Right you are, Soupy!
