You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Just FYI: I got a HP Stream this Xmas, through the extreme generosity of a person (not a Bufffista or relative), because both my old laptops died, and I couldn't work.

I recommend it highly. (I got the pink one, and it makes me happy every time I look at it.) It's about $199 and has Office 365, and works like a dream. Lots of memory in the hard drive and 1 TB of cloud memory, and the keyboard for such a small laptop is stellar.

I adore it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anyone need a 10.6.8 (Snow Lion) disk? I have a spare. Family didn't communicate well...

Due to a strange occurrence, yes. Do you actually have one still, sarameg? I realize your post was weeks ago.

Nephlet is now 18 and got his old computer back. But we age-restricted that thing like crazy and no one knows the password.

Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.

Can't help myself:

There's Snow Leopard and there's Mountain Lion but there's no "Snow Lion".

John, that sort of detail and inability to keep quiet is....so very Buffista. :)

Ahahaha! I was looking at the # to be sure to get it right, no idea how I did that.

I did invent this thread after all. Or someone similar to me did, many years ago.

Ha. I was just paying attention to the numbers because I cannot keep all of the cats organized and properly stacked.

You'd think *I* could keep my cats straight...
