LOL!

I'm not in the hospital... I'm in Alpharetta, at home. I just have one of those hospital bed trays, with folding sides, that is just the right size to hold a laptop. I got it at a swap meet for $5.00.

I can sit up, or lay back, and tilt up the base. There are 3 cables running from the side of the port replicator to under the bed. One for LAN attachment, and into the Internet, one for a phone line (in case I need to dial into someone's router) and a power cable.

When I get up in the morning, I unplug the laptop from the port replicator, and slide the tray and cables under the bed.

Since hooking this up, I don't go sit at the computer that used to be in the home office any more. I just come home from work and 'go to bed.' Then I get out of bed in the morning, and go to work.

Jack

Are You Next?
Edited by Jeffrey Davis
"Just a few years into its evolution, the commercial Internet has
delivered impressive rewards to its earliest adopters--stratospheric
market capitalization, millions of electronic customers, unlimited
virtual partnerships, and skyrocketing online revenues. Radical
change is already underway in electronic markets for books, music,
computers, and software.

Behind the scenes, however, tectonic shifts loom for many more
industries soon to face the Internet's full impact. Physical
distribution channels are vanishing. Boundaries between buyers
and sellers are breaking down. Dozens of industries, reluctant
to adapt for many reasons, are suddenly pondering an uncertain
future."

Debunking Certain Myths Surrounding Mutual-Funds
by Jonathan Clements
"Mutual funds are like teenagers. The older they get, the harder
they are to understand. Over the past 10 years, fund assets have
ballooned 600%, index funds have soared in popularity, and mutual
funds have adopted more-focused investment strategies. Along the
way, some old investment rules have lost their punch and new
misconceptions have sprung up.
