Re: OT:Need feedback please/Terrie's Computer crash!
Terrie,I can relate to the slow computer problem. Mine was a dinosaur until I upped the RAM to the maximum it would hold. Going from 128 mb to 512 mb has made all the difference. At any rate, I am sure you will find a good system at a great price. There are so many terrific deals out there!Best of luck,Gina[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Belinda, You were not rude!

I lost my Favorites which contained all my animal medical sites so will have to start all over again. Thank god I still have my photos, documents, and folder/files.

I have even been told by some of my rescues how a whole family will come to look at an adoptee making them appear quite normal, only to find out later the pet was tortured again and again until it finally died or was killed.

I just lost him last month to anemia at 11 years of age, he wasn't sick for all of those years. I just lost him in May after a 5 month illness to what turned out to be cancer. He lived, ate, slept, played with, groomed and on occasion had spats with all his vaccinated, negative housemates for all those years and nobody ever got it from him. It is almost impossible for a healthy, adult cat to get it from a positive and if they ever did the healthy adult cats immune system would fight it off. The bottom line is it isn't as contagious as most vets would have you believe. AND FIV is even less contagious and harder to give to another cat as it takes a deep bite wound to for it to be even possible to transmit it from one cat to another.
