I went the sentimental route. I gave her my mom's engagement ring. Yes, it happened to actually be a diamond, but regardless the sentimentality of the gesture gets some good points.
I remember reading in one of your books about a style of notation you used (along with a Dvorak keyboard if I recall) as you wrote and edited your books. It was something a kin to writing in the margins as you felt the need. Has the switch to Star Office and Linux made this easier or harder? Were there any pitfalls you found?
Well, I personally use FreeBSD running on an old P90. There's a great how-to available at DeepFriedPackets.com. Mine also doubles as an apache webserver and runs great.
I'm in Florida, and acutally close on a house next month. I discovered that the net was a great tool for finding what neighborhood's we could afford. Other than that, most listings are out of date with what is still available. I found going to a realtor much more helpful.
Their tools are better and they'll be able to give us specific addresses and more information.
I was given stock options a my last company. Did they mean anything to me? no. The company is private and probably will remain private forever considering the personality and arrogance of the CEO. However, the company seemed to value them higher than I did. When I was offered a raise, I told them, "I'm worth more than that." Their response, "Give back the options and we'll pay you more."
This isn't a wholly new idea. Marvel uses a similar tactic in their online comics. The comics are designed to work like a regular comic complete with full page advertisments. Unlike a regular comic, you can't just skip the page.
It was inevitable, it's new technology adapting to old methods.

Man, I've been asking for that 2 ton laser ever since I was a kid. No one's ever been nice enough to give ME one.

Anyone else notice that cmdrtaco_bids_a_million was the high bidder for at least a moment on the mir pieces? Here's the current bid
Actually with WINE you can. It's similar to the old win32 stuff we used to see on Win3.11. Check out WineHQ for more info.
