If there is any interest in the subject, I will put up a web site with some tutorials and white papers on building web sites and/or ecommerce sites.
Please. I am always interested in what others have to say and idsplay to learn from it.
I recommend Skype. Remember, it calls computer to computer for free. If you have broadband it is as good or better than most international phone lines. Also, the cost to call from your computer to a land line in another country is cheap, cheap. Skype will also provide you a phone number for a small amount.
tech for less is a great web site that offers open box, return and factory refurbished tech components for low prices. I have purchased from them and they are very good. Laptops are sometimes one gen back but good enough and you can get a good one for less than $500. Get factory refurbs as you know they have been repaired – IOW, the bugs are worked out.

Ain’t that the truth. Occam’s Razor tells me that we truly are our own worst enemies these days. The level of stupidity leaves me habitually shaking my head. Someone mentioned above that those in their late 50′s might never work again? Why waste the talents of your most knowledgeable and productive? I think some days that the society is undergoing some collective psychosis these days. Millennial disease?
Today, BHO declared a ‘National Emergency’ around the swine flu debacle. My better half works in child care and the kids who are getting sick and visit their doctors or emergency rooms are told they have this swine flu bug if they have flu symptoms BUT without being tested to see if they truly have it. (The test does exist and is definitive.) This is significant and alarming. If the public health authorities are misreporting then that seems criminal.
Also, there was a piece on the “news” on the idiot box that showed hordes of people queued up to get the swine flu vaccine but it was being doled out to the ones most at risk. Now, it seems to me, if there is a contagious disease out there the last place I want to be is around lots and lots of people some of whom may be ill or getting ill.
Was at dinner tonight at a friends house and the man of the house had gotten the seasonal, regular flu shot a couple of weeks before and he reported that he felt badly for days. Now what is wrong with that picture? Of the four of us around the dinner table, none was planning on getting the swine flu shot because of the risks the vaccine seems to carry.
