Was nice & peaceful, here.
With Landru finding himself nursing the nurse who *somehow* came down with a cold on xmas eve.
I'm somewhat suspicious though, as there aren't many people who enjoy being waited-on hand & foot quite like this woman of mine does.
The era of Clintonism has really ruined me, ya know; never been any more cynical than I am now. ;^)
I've been trying to wire-up a new computer, today.
So?
Before I eeeeeven get to turn the power on?
I find the thing's minus a *Network* card...I mean how'd I know my cable modem would need one.
I'm a relay-guy with common contact output the most *high tech* stuff I ever worked with.
Now, wouldn't ya think a $2k state-of-the-art Pent4 2GHrtz machine would come pre-equiped with a steenkeen net card?
Geeehezz!
Good thing I left the old Presario 144MMX (soon-to-be Bass boat anchor) hooked-up in anticipation of using this snazzy new software product called, 'Intellimover' (made by some outfit called, "Detto") which supposedly loads *all* files, settings et al from an old computer, to a new one....just watch; this thing'll frag Landru into the ether.
...hey, there's a bowl game on momentarily; so, you know where I'll be!
Accentuate the positive, my cynical FRiend...a NEW COMPUTER?! Awesome!!!!
