    Good gods why? (Vista)

    The clever ads were only the first barrage. MAC ATTACK! There may be something "different" with the Intel drivers and that's why it doesn't happen with other RAID cards. But still, the OS should never allow this to happen.

    I think there were maybe 10% "other" in my class. Almost all of them were from outside the US. Mostly the middle east but also europe and asia.

    To meet state Phys. Ed. requirements everybody played a sport. There was no PE. I remember some of these guys as AAAA football state champs and touring with the select ensemble. We were good at everything.

    You've gotta work toward something even if it seems unachievable. And It's ok to live in the reality of your situation while working for change. I've had to learn that. I don't understand the intent of the first half of your second sentence. Most IT products attempt to meet a need.

    I still have wireless issues. There is not an easy way to attach to various wireless networks. That is, the new network tool would work great if it worked for me. The range is severely reduced if I use anything other than the basic tool. THAT is the suck.

    You do not need an agent at all. Unless you signed something, you can switch agents at any time. Generally another agent would not take you on out of professional courtesy. Even if you did sign something I would say she has already broken the contract with her behavior.

    I like traveling and experiencing things I've never seen before but I'd never go by myself. That is, at the end of the day I'm there for the social interaction new or old. Finishing the race is a matter of completion. When you set long term goals you kinda like the satisfaction of finishing.
