Well folks, I have a full time job. Along with teaching an adult basic computer skills class at the local library. I have learned I cannot allow myself to get bored, when I do I end up doing something stupid.

I went to visit the rehab hospital where I was after the injury and talked to the P.T. staff and showed them the progress I have made. They were pleasantly surprised. I told them about the site and they are going to recommend it to newly injured people.

:lmao:

Oh, and I just built a new computer! (phenom ii x4 965 black edition, asus motherboard, 8 gigs of ram, 1 terabyte HDD, 1 gig radeon hd5650)

You have to admit that getting consumers to do the alpha and beta testing for software they have paid for hasn't been a bad marketing ploy. Just wish I'd have thought of it.

I agree GB, the man is a genius when it comes to making money and having a product that turns $ due to software being obsolete when an upgrade is needed, doesn't make the product any good though for those who know different.

Couldn't agree more Jerry, the one thing us techs are sure of is windows failure and there is plenty of money to be made so I think ole Bill should be thanked....
