Duly beaten. Ouch. 
Wow, I've never seen a W+B on that plane. The only one I remember was a CRJ-200 going from ORD to OKC - there were a couple of people who raised their hands to volunteer, but I was in row 3 and therefore the closest and easiest to accommodate. :-:
owwwww...
My office-mate had the aforementioned nasal septum job the week before Thanksgiving. I'll see him tomorrow for the first time since then - all I heard was that the first day was MISERABLE and even a week later he was still a little woozy. Sounds wretched.
POTC referenced the Donner Party. Very depressing reading if you aren't familiar.
ALCO got overnight VDBed in YZF (I think? or could have been some other city starting in Y) and positioned home in an, err, alternative fashion. He was pretty gleeful.

If Dante was alive today, he would rewrite The Inferno with a tenth circle reserved for those who don't know how to properly use the reply all function in their e-mail.

^ I don't think I will be able to do it. I have a client dinner I need to attend from 7:30 on, and probably won't be done until 10. Then I will have prep work I need to do for the next day ... However, ALCO and Windwalker: PM me your cell numbers and if I get off earlier, I'll call you and try to at least have a martini with you.
Bummer; I'll be cruising in the Caribbean ..... aaaaah!

I was very skeptical initially but amazed at the performance increase once I used Microsoft Gold Certified TuneUp Utilities on my XP box - Costco had it free after rebate one week. I do have one more license and could dig up the CD if radonc1 wanted to try ...
I am going to buy the RAM (4GB for $160) and install it and see what happens. I do need to clean my computer of the trash that is on it. I will PM you if I need the utility.

Morning, Box. Been away for a while like a few others.
Spent a few days in BNA with a bunch of my wife's family, and had a pretty decent time, aside from the getting there and back. 1.5 hour traffic jam on the way there in KY, and driving while under the weather on the way back.
icurhere2, I don't remember which institute of higher education you teach at in the BNA area, but there's an outside chance it's the same school my brother-in-law is teaching at.

The other place I was going to recommend closed last year, which shows how often I go out in Center City.
