Bill, sorry to post publicly but I am in Miami typing on an interim laptop until I set up my machine.
My wife tells me that since you are consulting with JBoss Group as an independent you can declare this as a loss against income earned and if you buy a new one it is a business expense. Don't forget January 15th/16th tax quaterly tax filing (trust the woman, I do :) really sorry to hear about your loss, but it is a good excuse to upgrade, now if only you would steal mine like we discussed earlier, it craps out on outlook only, cheers, marcf ______________________________________________________________________ View this jboss-dev thread in the online forums: http://jboss.org/forums/thread.jsp?forum=66&thread=6328 _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
