=======================
	Allo,  Charles.

	Nice of you pop up here randomly, I always appreciate your notes.

 CS> Great Saturday so far. Expecting nasty boomers in here this evening and
 CS> that always means a Tornado watch.

	Nothing of the kind here as yet, still hovering around the frezing point so
the boomers are not developing.

 CS> The Windows pundits are dancing in the street. :)

	Not me, my mantra has not changed ie: the cost of them. Further down in your
message, you mention the Ultrabook, just as nice as an Air, maybe better,
rivaling with the Apple Pro, I would guess. I had a casual look at them, just
as for the Toshiba Thrive but I need none of them, toys they are to me. I have
neither use for a smart-phone, call me old-fashion and I will agree.

 CS> Mac users have become complacent over the years. Even though this really
 CS> isn't a virus, it should be warning enough not to let your guard down.
 CS> As the Mac proliferates and gleans a greater percentage of sold machines
 CS> and usage, the hackers will start to become more active.

	They are not gaining that many more PCs, a Wormy is a PC. They make a lot of
money with what I call toys, iPhone, iPad, ieverything.

 CS> My son sent us a gift card to buy a new iPad. Not sure I really want one
 CS> though but since I have the gift card...

	No, no ! do not sent it here. ;-)  Nice to have sons like ours. I only wish
that my son would have had some offsprings. We only have 4 of them from our two
daughters.

 CS> Have fun and send Louis my prayers.

	In a way, we are having fun, going to the boonies again tomorrow for a week, I
bring a Toshiba laptop and Louise, her Air. We keep connected. Louis is in our
minds daily, I will mention your good intentions to him, I will say that you
are a nice person.

	Having fun too with the W-8 Beta. It runs but it is not complete, I have had
to do some "addressing" to be able to do what I need. It is a quick OS even on
the old P4. I use it just like W-7 even if the Metro screen is destined to be
used on a tablet, touch-screen like, which I do not have here. A mouse is much
better on a desktop. I had it on the Acer before but removed it as it would not
accept the driver for my Vid-card, this time it took it; maybe I learned ! A
nice 1920 x 1080, 1 x 3.777 ratio, very nice too.

	Do not stay away too long, now that I became more civil vis-…-vis the Wormies,
we can chat it up. Still the cost ! ! ;-)
