That's about all I've been doing this whole week! I've been remoted in lots of places: Portland, Seattle, Manila and Mexico! Most have never tried to use their home computers and laptops to VPN into work... Fun, fun, fun.

Actually, PDX is not my kind of area at all, but I DO like to see plants that are actually green! I've only lived in Vancouver, Camas and Troutdale up here after being paroled from Kalifornia after 40 years (born in San Diego, moved to Orange County when I was 24). My goal is to get something going where I can become wealthy with only an internet connection (i.e., without having clients!). Working on that now... Then I want to move a bit farther away from cities. Somewhere in the mountains that's quieter, with a lake or a river, but not too high up so I don't need to deal with snow. My "REALLY BIG" dream is to create a resort for those that need an escape. I have a LOT already thought about there. Someday!!!

I definitely buy a lot from them and have never had any issues!

Sorry to hear about that Bob!

If Bapu is a hoax..... then where the heck did all those posts come from??!!! ?

One of the actresses in the actual movie was my lab partner for two classes when I was working on my PhD (Tony Attell, she played a mime in the movie!). No, I've never seen the movie, so I have no idea what her role entailed! LOL. She also was Robin Williams' acting coach at one time.

That's worth $1! ("END TIMES" can be recombined to spell "TEN DIMES" you know! ? )

Coincidentally, this made me realize that everything I type in these forums sounds the same too! (Tick, tick, tick... tick, tick, tick, tick, tick... ) ?

Don't be a pane Ed. ? (You should have noticed I used plurals - multiple Macs for multiple Windows. Duh. ?)

?

Macs now support Windows!!! ?

Not sure which one that was. I had three different Korg's (including both the keyboard and rack versions of one). I liked my Korgs! ? An N5: And an MS2000 (and MS2000R - the rack version): And this little guy:

*Crowd* "Play Vivaldi!!! Play Vivalidi!!!" ? ?

Good to hear they "saw the light" Larry! I'll stop looking for my password now. (Which would have definitely only resulted in my making one flaming post before I was banned as well! ?)

Which part? ?

Man I like that song! ??

F***ing lowlifes!!! I just received a tech. alert email that ransomware attacks on hospitals has increased dramatically as [those that need to be tortured and dismembered] are taking advantage of the virus! Unbelievable! ? As far as I'm concerned, that makes them all guilty of murder (or, at least, attempted murder) and they should be hunted down in the same fashion...

Then, when they think you're not looking... They post in your Facebook account! ?

That is true. I'm hearing that, outside of the elderly (especially with preexisting conditions), the most at-risk groups will be smokers (of any kind) and the obese. However, I'm also hearing that the panic created will cause much worse issues than the actually, highly survivable virus. Just combine all the current over-buying with a lack of production and the inability to replenish stock due to lock-downs (potentially between states, which is being considered here), and your basic idiot will be off the rails in a couple of weeks. That said, even if it does somehow make THIS scary list, it still won't have as much of an effect on the World's population as War and Politics has had.

*PA Voice* "Paging Jim Roseberry, please come to the Q&A booth!" ?

Well, as Stalin said, "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic." All I know is that, if I'm five times more likely to die from a snake, AND I was one to freak out and had to be ultra-prepared, I would be doing my best to have anti-venom on-hand and avoiding any place where there's the slightest chance of a snake being. When you're dealing with something that has a worldwide survival rate of 97.2% (practically 100% if you're young and/or healthy), then I have FAR more important things to worry about. Yes, SO FAR, less than 6,700 people have died (who knows how many would have died from other reasons within a few months - most were elderly and already sick), but that's since November. This is only about 700 more than those who have committed suicide over the last two days! I'm pretty sure an alarming percentage of those were teenagers who have given up hope. As far as I'm concerned, THAT is a much bigger issue that people should be trying to fix!

Those are too holy to work on. ? (See what I did there? ?)
