    No, they didn't fix that. :mad: That proposal died in committee.

    You gotta be in it to win it...

    Why are you taking the annuity, GF? If you can't double that money in 20 years, something is seriously wrong...

    A question on taxes

    Marriage will cost you if you both work. That's becuase the "double" standard deduction doesn't do the right correction for staggered tax rates. I figure being married costs me about $3k on an average year. They take less money if you make below the threshhold for the "earned income credit"...

    McKinney implies Bush knew of Sept. 11 plot

    The thinking people in Georgia (all 6 of us) know this is bullshit. However, her constituency includes most of the dyed-in-the-wool communists in the Atlanta area, so they'll keep sending her sorry ass back to DC. Every freaking year.

    You gotta be in it to win it...

    Forgot to buy a personal stash, but I'm in the office pool. I figure it's 2.4 million take-home if we hit.

    Summertime here. I'm running all mine stock, since we're cheap about the AC bills.

    Monitor Question!!

    I usually leave the refresh rate at optimal unless it's creating a problem (fuzzy image, etc.). About the image difference, it's hard to say without knowing what the old monitor was. I've seen some darn good no-name P&P montiors in my time.

    Iraq cuts oil in Israel protest

    Oil prices go up, oil prices go down. With the embargo on Iraqi oil already in place, the effect should be minimal. Of course, Exxon et al will still use the excuse to jack up gas prices.

    An odd letter!

    Do you own a small business? The usual scam here is to get your accout number, and ANYTHING on company letterhead. They then blank out your letter head, use it to request a draft form the account, and clean your butt out.

    Another Pentium lover just turned AMD!!!

    Most customers who test drive an athlon buy an athlon. Things may change later, but right now AMD is the only way to go.

    Cool! Does that mean my AMD stock is now in the S&P 500? :D
