Way OT: new toys
After the ice fell three stories from the roof of our home and totaled our car, we were left with some disposable cash. We decided to get something old and cheap to replace it, since it hardly rolled out of the driveway after I quit working. This left us with some decisions. Save the money, invest the money, pay off that credit card once and for all, put it in the kids' college funds? Heck no! Responsibility took a backseat and I dove headfirst into enablement fun, all the while doing several things I swore I wouldn't do. It's amazing what a bit of cash will do to personal resolutions.

Especially one as deserved as yours. Allow me to rephrase. I'll have a better laptop than the 650MHz Celeron I bought in 2000 and was still using until a few days ago. -- Scott Loveless www.twosixteen.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
