Where do you find all this stuff, Gayla?! Never mind - just glad you do. Made the decision after reading this article to get off my behind and step it up BIG time. Thank you!

PC Magazine has a long, very detailed group of articles concentrating (as you would expect) on the PC side of things. Theiar "editorial" attitude several times repeats the "major crash not expected", but the details of their analysis (if you study their example and their words) doesn't back up their optimism.I think we need a word for that behavior: burying your head in the head in the sand while speaking foolish words of optimism = ostrichism.
