I used to be married to one of them Canadians too. She told me that they didn't
count as furriners because they speak English, sort of, and their only agenda
was finding enough Molson's, eh?

Generally, you always determine this by just running the computer for
a while. You get to know what it will do under different conditions.
You can find charts of maximum CPU temps online, but it's unlikely
you'll get anywhere near those before the thing just shuts down.

The driver's license for opening bank accounts is required by the USA PATRIOT

In a digital society, where the SS card is now mandatory at birth...id card
and id number still have the same effect as a national id.

Recently for Military service and other things we have been asked for
the actual SS card, not a copy or a duplicate.
If you were to change jobs they might ask for the original SS card.
I know we get hung up on the number but the SS administration will
tell you it is an official US document. N
> It has become a defacto federal ID card.
Well, a little nitpicky, but not so much "ID card" as "ID number". I've -never-
been asked to provide the actual card as an ID. (I lost mine decades ago and
have never bothered to replace it--have
never needed it.)
Most newer electronics do not come with manuals. It is either on a
CD or on line. I prefer downloading them to my computer that way I
know where they are.

Yep, a mention of Retrevo is actually what started this discussion. Thanks.

I discovered it back around February when I was looking for a manual

P.S. - It is one of the things I always liked about the Apple web site
all the manuals, but
I agree it has become an ID number. I always have laughed, though,
because when I was younger the Social Security card used to state on it
that it was NOT to be used as an ID.
