Paul - Re: "call a plumber or an electrician - see how long ot takes them to come to your house for an "apppointment"."

Reminds me of the high priced trial lawyer who had a stopped up sink. He called the plumber. The job took 10 minutes, and the plumber presented a bill for $250.

The lawyer was shocked. "That works out to $1,500 an hour!" he said. "I'm one of the most famous trial lawyers in the country, and I can't charge those rates!!"

"Yea, I couldn't charge that much when I had my legal practice either. That's why I switched to plumbing" the plumber responded.

Yep - call a plumber or an electrician - see how long ot takes them to come to your house for an "apppointment".

Not every contractor lives in the SV and is vested with stock options! Some actually do work for a living and are responsible.

Besides, I don't imagine many contractors would want to make a call at your house.

Sure - everybody prefers AMD's flash because it is..well..from AMD !

Suffering from a little flash envy? Sorry I asked.
