Yeah, I sold PC's back then, which also meant playing tech support and
installer / service for clients.  While I understood it, it was kinda
like the craze of Encyclopedia Britannica on CD-Rom.  While cool, I
just had little use for it at the time.  Now of course .. looking back
... I'd have invested in Yahoo, Amazon, Apple, etc.. back in the day. 
Did you know if Apple had never split shares, they'd be worth $28,000
per share right now?  Incredible how much I missed.  But I'm content
with the way my life ended up.

 Ad> Oh. Maybe I _have_ used Team View, I just didn't care.
 
Lol, thats ok.

 Ad> Indeed. The avoiding of memes of that type is probably one of the best

 Ad> But, agreed, sometimes additional bits would be nice.

Yeah .. everyone has a hardship story right now; and that one moment
they're trying to share that is positive, with people they type to
everyday without ever seeing them.  Sometimes it would be nice to post
my gardens progress on the fido gardening site.  But this format
definitely has allowed me an opportunity to build on my written word.
