    And - who will be the last man to die - just before the immortality pills go on sale?

    First, I'm rather amused by the 'N' number on the side of spaceshipone's fuselage
    What? You have never heard of "CALL LETTERS"? The "N" by the way started with US Navy ships.
    I am N3IQA.

    The earth curvature on this one shows just how close they got to space.
    Let's see...to be technical, Earth is "in space". Therefore, as an Earthling, I have been "in space" since I was born. Therefore, I should qualify for the prize. (snicker).

    Existing WordProcessors are already so feature rich I can't imagine wanting ever to buy a new one.

    Let's see... Microsoft updates the OS this year, next year, and in a few years, abracadabra, your Word no longer functions. Then you are forced to buy.

    And consider $495. for Word vs. $2/month, $24/year for IBM Word.

    As long as it reads and writes .doc files, and works like Word, I would go with it. Remember StarOffice - as soon as they started charging for it, it went away. People of faith have more in common than not.

  5. Re:Is there a real solution? on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 1

    Open up the Task Manager, and take a look at the 40 or 50 processes that are running in the background. Which ones do I want and need, and which ones are spyware or other viruses? I dont have a clue. What I need is a book or website that lists all of the Microsoft operating system Processes, what they do, and what I can delete. I am able to edit my registry and delete the bad guys, if I only knew who they are!
