Hi Peter.. I dont' drink,, so booze isn't an option...LOL Though, I do drink coffee and eat my donuts.. sitting here at my computer... and what would we do without.. "canned air".. Great for getting crumbs out of a keyboard..(not my new one.. but many times, with my old.. LOL).
I'm just a bit discouraged.. but I'm trying to put it all in perspective.. Hearing the news today, and reading the paper.. People were killed on the Staten Island Ferry(in NY).. and I guess. this is just a computer.. and not Life/or Death.. and I have to just deal with it. and think about it - in those terms.. But thats not to say, I'm not still very annoyed at Dell.. for their lying.. . I"m giving Dell.. one more chance to make it right.. They are shipping me a new tower. and new monitor.. and I'm hopefull.. that my troubles will be over.. with the new one.. (knock wood).
