Just minutes ago I made this rating in SETIB in my average credits: 2,006.20 . Yippeee, it feels great to make this rating. Now, I've got to set my sights on becoming a Grand Master, although I don't know what that ranking is. Have to look it up. Bobby Fischer, watch out!!!

I have the computers because I need to update my business machines every three years to stay ahead of the software bloat. And I hear that when Vista comes out, it'll make most all computers obsolete.

You have 250 computers of which one per month is replaced. So in a little over 20 years they'll all be replaced. Seems like you'll run out of time. I like my model better: Buy new every three years, needed or not. But then, I only need four computers up here in Maine, not 250. Tom Johns The Maine Team The Way Life Was Meant To Be! ID: 4726 ·
