I mean, sure, all the spam about 'buy this' and 'free that' and the two spam emails in a row offering to either enlarge my breasts or my penis... Okay, they're just making sure they hit all the bets. Whatever.

But when I registered my iPod Mini with Apple (the iPod I won, in a company picnic drawing), apparently this meant I had mucho spare bucks. Apple just sent me an email to tempt me with their new desktop system -- only $3300. ::shakes head:: We won't even discuss the fact that I've been using Microsoft Word for 21 years now, or that I understand the logic structures of MS programs well enough to navigate new program menus with only minor problems. I mean, I wouldn't turn down a souped-up MacMini, just to get used to Apple and see if I want to switch, although honestly, I probably won't get one myself. Why spend the money when I was the only person in my company who ever handed an Apple computer back to Information Resources and asked plaintively for a DOS 3.1 system back, please, because I could make it work....

$3300? Who in the world did they think they were sending that too?

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by ... some of them are golden only because we let them slip by. - James Matthew Barrie,

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream by night. - Edgar Allen Poe

I often warn people: Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.' - George Carlin
