kathy, thx for the travel spot tips. Booked tix just a few hrs ago and now will be flying in and out of the same place - SF. Been doing too much lately, took the simpler route (was intending to go in to SF, out of LA). Solvang -- the town of olives! Only town I know priding itself on variety of olives. Harmony - cool place - rem to add "+1" to the population sign post when visiting - have a photo from a visit there a few years back. And if you include wine tasting, you may see that population grow quite a bit larger. Visit is including a vc (venture cap in this case vs. video conf) co, one start up co, and hopefully, fvcx and to see another person I've spoken to on the phone and by e-mail when the person was at another company. Yes, there will be much relaxation - especially after the presentation on Monday (have a few more nights work left to do on it - was on the laptop -arggh). Wine country is a must. Hiking would be great. Restaurants in SF area? Where else within few hrs drive worthwhile? Will be going to Sunnyvale and Mountain View - only been through there once and I wasn't driving, so wasn't paying much attention. Any "special events" going on in the surrounding area next week or weekend? Tony Bennett's to be in town, I hear. A pumpkin festival or something in Half Moon Bay (squash the shorts). Monterrey, might just do that for the town - the underwater life in the Caribb is unbelievable and uncomparable, imo. Way I approach visiting places is to ask , what's N,S,E,W, etc , throw down a bunch of ideas, then do some / all of them. Any help appreciated. Tim, if you read this, LA is somewhat unlikely at this stage as I'm tied up 'til mid week on one item, then Thurs/Fri is when I'm doing the biz visits (all in the SF area, unfortunately). Only shot might be wknd of 23/24, but a gal I know takes priority.

Any of y'all in Techland seen this --> This is taken from an actual request sent to Microsoft Technical Support: Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Pokernight 10.3 and Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I can not seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1.0 but un-install does not work on this program. Can you help me? Signed, Desperate User Here is the response from Tech Support: Dear Sir: This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a ?UTILITIES, ENTERTAINMENT & GAMES? program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. You can not go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than original system. Look in your manual under Warnings - Alimony /Child Support. It is recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Protection Faults GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur. The best course of action will be to push apologize button then reset button as soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance. Good Luck, Tech Support Systems Analyst
