I see it, clicked Amazom Prime link and it is indeed in the right margin...I missed it first time. I found it on Goog too. My point is, it is arguably the most weighted deciding factor of the transaction, why isn't it stated plainly ri

Thanks, I understand it is buried somewhere, I found the price by Googing it. Sounds like a great deal. However, I vote with my dollars, and I am less inclined to give them mine when they treat their customers like marks in a confidence gam

I get plenty of compliments on my "Geek On" shirt. Of course, something more subdued and pro would be nice...maybe even a collar? I've been down on their services the last few years, lots of headaches and noticeable lag in sh

I looked at the offerings & they seem pretty expansive. Sounds great and all but I could not locate a principal factor that is important to the equation: PRICE! I clicked help, get started and even searched... I do not want a free trial

As I said in 1st post, I mitigate my risks as well as I know how. Check my 2nd rant above. Also, my step-father died a short battle with Endocratic cancer in 2012 @ 63yo. He smoked on tour in Nam for < 2years. 42 years later his death wa

I cannot deny I wish I had never gotten hooked. That doesn't mean I do not care or am making flimsy excuses. I am personally responsible for every choice I make, whether I like the results or not. To benefit my health I live a very non

Cannot locate the item right now, but didn't the entire brain-trust leave with him, too? Sucks working for an org that ignores the results that don't suit their ends.

This is the reason I stopped going to malls. The olfactory assault emanating from some of those stores is quite unpleasant and will give me migraines. Applies to the weekend bar scene, too, but I was never wont to hang around drunk people a

The apathy is not a cigarette/e-cig problem, sounds more like a personality trait. A little mindfulness would do our culture good(real practice, not the Time magazine version). I posit the militancy is a possible result of persecution.

Actually, less than four when they stopped selling XP. My point is, if they extended sales are they not obligated to extend support? "Sales of Windows XP licenses to OEMs ceased on June 30, 2008, but continued for netbooks until Octobe
