Walt, it's good to see that you've been doing more than your
share to help support our ailing computer industry. I bought my first
computer 20 years ago, and haven't in those 20 years spent as much as
you have in the last year and not quite a half. And every one of
those computers is still in my home and works.
I know I should really do more to help prop up the economy
and help fill our landfills with last year's computers. And speaking
of landfills- I could have saved at least one of those cute little
iCubes from such a fate! I feel awful- I'm going to dig out my debit
card and order one of everything Apple makes right now. And just to
make sure I'm never solvent again, I'll put the balance of my assets
in Apple stock!
in best humor,
Dyna
