=============================
	good morning, Charles, sorry for being trdy.

 CS> Looks like Texas Summer is arriving early this year. In the 90s
 CS> yesterday and today. I just hope my old air handler unit can go another
 CS> year without replacement. Doggone things run about 6 to 7K $ for a new
 CS> one. No more R-22 units.

	Hey, keep it all south of us, getting too hot here, close to 86øF most days
lately.

 CS> I always warn folks that I'm in contact with to backup those family
 CS> photos and other precious items either on DVD or under their mattress.
 CS> :) It's nice if you happen to have a Blue Ray burner and can afford to
 CS> buy the media. Excellent way to archive stuff.

	No matter how much warning you mention to some persons, they will not follow
you. So far, the Cloud has been steady, nothing lost.

 CS> My son sent us a new iPad with 4G (Verizon model) and right now I'm
 CS> trying to learn how to use the thing. As if a 13" MacBook Air or
 CS> notebook is small enough to see, now I have to try and focus on a 9.7"
 CS> screen and use my fingers! Not good for us older guys. Anyway it's a
 CS> nice gadget.

	Argh !

	I wrote here that I considered a Thrive for a while, after Jeff mentioned that
he uses one and loves it; its screen is 10". But there is no way tht I can
justify it. I do net "work" for at the most 1 hour/mornings and I am too busy
doing other more down-to-earth stuff.

 CS> I guess I need to get in the "cloud". Maybe Alan can give us a cloud
 CS> lesson in one of those great articles he writes.

	There is nix to do to get onto the Cloud. I hear that the Wormies have one
too. Copy-cats ! I redid Louis' Thinkpad this week and had a hard time
convincing him that he would not loose his mail, AB and all. When you do not
know, you do not know.

 CS> Anyway, you have a nice Summer. Good fishing and give my best to Louis.

	The fishing has not started yet, maybe first week in June. I will let you
know. I first have to get my small motors going, a 4 and a 6 HP, twin
cylinders.

	Speaking of Louis, it seems that he has fully accepted his conditions and
makes do. I drove up to his place last Wednesday to fix his G41, I cloned it
back with a master USB device, runs fine now. Thanks for mentioning Acronis to
me a while back. Also, we got Teamviewer running and yesterday, we were able to
change his KB to French as he wanted the proper accents. I had forgotten to do
this when I was there.

	The best of all Summers to you too. Are you in touch with Jeff? I had reason
to bug him yesterday as I was trying to Move/Resize a HD, as usual, he came
through. He had me adopt Gparted a few years ago.

	Do not let this son of yours spoil you with too many Wormies.
