No spare, I've only got my LCD with my main rig. I think I'll buy the cheapest available 17" LCD I can find. I'll get some extra room at least.

Well, it looks like I will have to create a new bookmark on my school computer. Since I might see a necessity of stopping by in the morning while I am putting together my lesson plans for the day. And I need all the caffeine I can get when dealing with teenagers all day.

Lord, you can tell I'm getting out of touch with old technology in a hurry. I actually had to look up what CRT meant, LOL.

Flat paneling and going HD for a few years and you forget your roots.

I drove up to New York yesterday to have dinner with my mom, brother and sister-in-law Michael and Liz, nephew Peter, and uncle Avery. One nephew (Joe) is away at Georgetown so it was just Peter. He is 16 and is a champion swimmer, one of the best in the country in his age group. He is also very bright and taking college Physics and Calculus in his junior year in high school.

Hehe, how soon we forget. Quick, what's an album?

(@ shreader) Hey shreader, congrats on the rank promotion. Does the Betas Team have two administrators now (as far as I can tell kd1966 still is an administrator)?

(@staff) I dig the new Digg this icons on each topic.

Hi ya'll......... I'm back from my new (temp) job and it's definately a high pace environment....... Thanks John for reviving the coffee room thing - about the only time I get a chance to take a breath on the weekdays is EST <6am>7pm............. I'll get used to it eventually though.....

Thank you gries818
Graham is a good persuader.

Yes Kevin is giving his 110% as usual.

Hi folks...well I'm into my second cup of pure caffeine and it's heading past 5.00 am here. Got a lot to do today and hopefully we finally get my brother-outlaws wagon sorted out so that I can use it to cart building material. This needs a trip into central Johannesburg this morning (after the rush hour LOL) to pick up some part or the other (differential oil sensor? ) It's been in for a major engine overhaul and has taken far longer than we thought, what with pistons having to be ordered from the UK - crummy imported Ford motor Par for the course I guess when one is reliant on a country workshop where time or urgency seems to mean nothing much to anyone

This is what's really neat about this lounge. I knew the time difference was pretty big, but it's weird to think you guys are getting up when we're about to go to bed. In a way, it's even stranger to think it's turning into Fall down there, while Spring is in bloom here. Or maybe I'm the only one who likes to think about that sort of stuff, who knows. LOL

Good luck with that engine Graham
