You won't think in that same manner when you see the young men that you will
be wanting to scrape off her...

Quixote <-- Been there, done that.

Just make sure to survive through the children, and eventually you get to
grandchildren, which make it all worth while. I am on my 3rd grandbaby now.

But I think they put that on there with the thought that, your mouse will
have one, and they don't want you accidentally spinning it.

Yeah, I don't use them as shift buttons.

At work I've got a Dell Cheapo workstation (Celery 2.56GHz I think,
512MB memory), with a Dell Ultrasharp 17"er. For coding and document
editing, and for the first time ever, I prefer portrait mode.

The monitor carries it off fantastically with only a barely perceptible
sideways discoloration, which is a first for me in a portrait mode TFT.
Powered USB ports at the left/top and the back, tiltable, turnable,
rotatable. I basically want one.

Quite. I actually made it a practice, much to my daughters' dislike, to
show my gun collection to their new boyfriends. It always seemed to make an
impression.

Yeah, probably not.

Hey, that pistol-grip shotgun is becoming more useful by the moment!

Heh, I don't live in an area where there is any french being spoken.
You're more likely to hear any other language around here besides french.
