I DIDN'T NEED A FIX!! Somebody decided to "upgrade" my system without telling me. I don't hate computers. But that buddy of mine, Little Billy Gates, better watch out...

He turns to the Irishman and says, "Do you have a word like that?"

"No," says the Irishman. "We have no word to describe that degree of urgency." (--Stolen from Mar.)

My favorite word today is cat (again). N., in a hat. Def.: A puzzle for which there is no solution. (--Hazel Nicholson.)
