Ed, you can sleep good tonight knowing that I wont be disappearing at all. Yes, you heard me bud, im here to stay. No need to send that ancient P.O.S Hewlett Packard out for a fixin'. I come in the door today and pops says "Go look in your room" so, I come in here, do a little lookin' around and see a Compaq Presario 'puter all hooked and ready to go complete with DVD CD and a partrige in a peartree on my desk. Boy I was happy as a lark!! Early Christmas presents are great I tell ya!

See ya
Grant

Kewl...now take that old P.O.S. to one of those places that accepts useless junkers, non-working puters, etc., and donate it to them. They will fix it up and give it to someone who can't afford to buy their own box of aggravation. I'll be clearing out some of my old clunkers soon, and takin' them to Peoria. I just know that there are people down there that don't have enough aggravation in their lives. Merry Christmas!!

Ok Steve you won, being that I got this present on the spur of the moment yesterday never had time to grab the documents so it's time to start hittin' the sites hard and re-saving my pics and whatever documents I had on the stone aged $2,000 piece of plastic (geez, imagine that! 2 grand for a big hunk of PVC) and this new one was a shade over $1350...all Compaq Presario and one neato flat screen monitor.

Now I cant use the expression "I'm gonna jump thru this thing and get'cha" (those who hit me on messenger and e-mail and I dont know who they are) because I cant fit. Oh well, technology wins, it'll be ancient by noon today anyway LOL. Cant 'puter stuff stay "in" for more than a day?? I dont get it? Guess ole' Bill's on his high horse still comin' up with "new" junk for us to buy.

2 grand for that non working P.O.S, $1350 for this new "state of the art" (this week) setup, You do the math.

See ya!

At the thickest point its 4" thinnest point (which is about 90% of it) its maybe 2" or less.

If you want one check a local Best Buys store out, thats where this'n came from.

See ya
