Yawn

You can stop the endless deliveries of flowers, get well cards and chocolate, I'm almost better.  What, you hadn't sent any?  Shame on you. If I could import one law from Britain to America, it would be the one about no obstructions bigger than 10mm in

eMac

I've found the next computer I'd want to buy new, the eMac.  Price needs to come down a bit, and it could do with 20Gb more storage, but it looks like a serviceable machine.  And it wouldn't need to be FDISK'd on

Places to go

Work in progress

I'm planning to comment on Star Wars: Attack of the Clones soon.  Seen it twice now, some things need to be said.  Yard work all weekend, managed to excavate the rusty bench sat at the foot of one tree, chopped off at least two other trees.  Why do

Independance

I'm commenting on a comment on an article.  This is based on an article in the Independent, who said: The harsh truth is that for all the platitudes we hear about how shared values, heritage and interests make Europe and America partners for all eternity, the glue that
