I got a Hamilton-Beach version for my friend, Dennis along with a selection of
K-cups, a tall insulated mug, a pound of 8 O'Clock French Roast bean coffee and
an R2-D2 grinder. Sort of overkill - but, he is by best friend and has been
since high school ... over 55 years ago.

I like the black English breakfast tea once in a while. Or just some plain old
Tommy Lipton Orange, Pekoe and Pekoe steeped until it's very strong. No sugar
or milk. And once in a while a cup of Brown & Bigelow's Constant Comment ....
wups. It's just Bigelow Tea Co. these days.

I was told that support for XP was going away as of 30 Sept 2013. But, I still
get updates, malware removal tools, etc. once in a while. I have W7 on one of
my boxes and after putting the "Classic Shell" on it I have been working on
getting used to it. We'll see about the W8.1 on the new laptop - which I have
yet to fire up.
