Hey guys,
Just wanted to come back & reply so you wouldn't think I was blowing you off. Had to go out of town late Sept, my mom was hospitalized so had to return. Arranged home care, got her sprung and settled at her house. Stepped off her front porch to go home, landed with an embarrassing splat on the driveway & broke my foot. (I'm a klutz )

Anyway, it's so good to see even more familiar faces! Greetings jerry, Bistro and Doc! This place was 'home' for so long, didn't realize how much I miss it! (And Bistro, I wanted you to know I was feeling a bit burned out awhile back, needed a good laugh, searched high and low for your "travels" online but couldn't find them. I used to read that saga and belly laugh my way through it. Are they still kicking around somewhere? )

Thanks for the info on Dell & Macs, Doc. I've been a Windows user from day one, but do enjoy tooling around with the Macs on display at Best Buy, so I'll not rule them out altogether.

And after some of the latter comments, now I'm very intrigued by Micro Center. See there's one about 40 minutes from me. Off to check their web site. Sheesh, I'm so behind with technology I don't even know what I need at this point.

P.S. I wanna see Bistro tanked up on Jolt. If he trashes your cardboard abode in the process jerry, I have a nice appliance box with some decent square footage I'd be willing to donate as a replacement.
