Hi Carol,

Glad to here it is doing ok again... that is definitely no fun.

Yeah, it certainly helps having decent system :)  When I made the switch, the
author of BBBS sent me 64 bit beta version of BBBS - had to drop back down to
the release version though when the internal modem in this new box started
giving me problems.. just wasn't sure what was causing the problem initially.
I'll probably go back to the beta 64 bit version next week.. Now I'm running my
USRobotics modem off on a new serial port we bought for the Dell, so I really
think the problems were with the driver for the internal win-modem.. didn't
like linux (bg).

We have our days here.. we were lucky that weekend I think.. Sometimes the heat
and humidity soar over here in the summer, but in general we're not
tremendously hot :)

Yeah, we're dropping at night as well.. may hit 60 during the day.. it did a
few days this week.  Now I just have to get used to the weather change :)

Same here.. what happens is when it's up, and the grandkids are here, the dogs
get 'overly' joyous and rambunctious :)

Understand that one :)

That's neat :)  Ron's been busy working with our fence in the back yard.  Indy
keeps climbing it, and escaping :(  Ron should have that taken care of in a day
 or so though (thank goodness).  Sophie comes running in whining when Indy gets
out so she's our 'alarm' system (g).

Yeah, that Italian restaurant wasn't the greatest - I loved the Chinese place
we went to though.. great food there.. I'll have to scout around when we start
getting close :)

Take care,
Janis
