I'll have to "Google" Nietzsche in a few..., [I get out a lot, so I don't read much ] I did spend a great deal of brain cells and time on varying sigs at one point. When I upgraded systems, I didn't bother transferring all my sigs (built a new rig eons ago just for "house-keeping" because I had a screaming machine I had built once upon a time to satisfy all my gaming urges (I'm a Lara Croft PC player junkie) only to have that gaming machine fried by a former room mate the very *day* before their new system arrived by mail!!!! So this rig is lame by my standards and certainly by today's standard needlesstosay, but "it gets me there and here"). I have enough spare parts from my former Sys Admin techie days (way back in 2001 that came screeching to a skidding halt due to a "human" error of laying me off before the company could afford to lose their on-staff techie) still and a really nice router plus a few small hubs to aid in me mum's computer communications..., However, she won't let me help cuz her "dial-up" email address is so overly linked because of her genealogy involvements that she refuses to let me upgrade her..., Heck. I could likely launch rockets (or at least load the Farscape game I don't have yet) with all these parts..., just haven't had the "down-time" to devote to my passions. -- Ms T ever changing calm .
