So you have three dogs. How many cats? I've been meaning to ask you for an inventory. Now that DOW is down over 200 points I might as well forget about the market for awhile. Just saw an ad in The New York Times for Gateway PC. If you buy one of their PCs you can upgrade for FREE in 2 years. We have to buy new PC soon. The new PC will run LINUX. It will not run Windows. Housemate's PC at work runs LINUX exclusively. He is no longer dependent on Windows. He thinks the system is great. Also, it costs much less than Windows. You can download LINUX for free over net but that is not the easiest way to go. Think housemate spent around $100.00. He has a complete office suite. MSFT charges quite a bit for these suites. Housemate paid $50 for CD, manual and 30 days of technical support. Also, I believe his office suite has more features than MSFT'S. [Sue had a T-bone last night and left quite a bit of meat on the bone. I gave it to Peanut and that kept him busy for awhile.] I bet the bone was bigger than the cat. (giggle)
