"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.

Just so you know exactly where I stand vis-a-vis today's polarized politics, let me recommend this organization to you.
 
 
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.
 

Now, go buy some books.

The latest dispatch from the front...

*sigh* I've got the old 233 up, running and connected to the Internet. I've loaded Opera and am upgrading the OS to 98SE (upgrading!!). I'm gonna put my old HD in and pretty much wipe it so the machine will have about 6 gig of disk space. Hopefully, I'll be able to get Firefox and a couple other of my critical programs loaded and running.

Then I'll get the even more ancient Micron P-II 150 kicked up and on the network. I figure I can us it to run things like MSOffice and such. The only problem is that it doesn't have USB support (it is currently running NTv4sp6). Now, if I could only upgrade the old CTX laptop with a half-way decent processor and reasonable memory I'd be halfway back.

Now I have to give back my wife's laptop and make do with my older machines. I'll report on that as it goes. Oh yeah...my son says he can get a good deal on Dell machines through work. I'll have to see if he can beat CheapStingyBastard...
