RE: David S you work WAY

David S you work WAY too hard for a retired guy!! You wear me out just reading about what you do all day long!!! I need a nap, and I JUST got up 2 hours ago!!!


I'm not retired! I'm only 49. Minimum age for my meager state pension is 55. I will have enough years in by then, but the that won't be enough without also having Social Security (yes, I will get both, since I pay into both) and medical insurance would also be a problem until I hit Medicare 8 years later.

My imperfect to rain on my glasses is to wear a baseball cap.

And the other thing that I still forgot I wanted to say when I came up with all the other stuff I forgot was that my sun burn is not too bad. However, I managed to give myself a small scratch with a fingernail, right in the middle of my forehead.

Pin back ears for a good

Pin back ears for a good laugh.

I scrapped an old HP PC this afternoon I hadn't used in over 2 years, and out of curiosity I fired it up to recall what it was. Hehehe.

Win XP 32 bit, P4 2.4 processor, 2Gb RAM, ATI 4870 card :-))) No wonder I took it off line! The surprising thing was an Antec 550W PSU which I had forgotten was in there £60 worth. Then I remembered how power hungry 4870's were needing two 6 pin plugs :-( Anyhow, recovered the card and PSU scrapped the rest.

All good fun down memory lane, all 2Gb of it :-)))

Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Apparently he did say it, but was so embarrassed later that he now denies it.

It is far too profitable to be solved.

And there was a need for only five room sized tube computers that ran at 1KHz.
