Christmas Letter 2008 Sent

I finally got around to sending the Christmas Letter.  Unfortunately, I sent it from my newly acquired 2.7GHz Optiplex.  I have Outlook 2K and I had it set to RTF format.  As a result about half of my Family & Friends received the infamous Winmail.dat file.  Microsoft should be taken out behind the barn and …………………………   No, I will not say it!

I installed Opera today just to see what it is like.  It has a nice feel and has some good features.  That is good because my Firefox is locking up every time I select eBay and do a search on a given subject.  When that happens my CPU usage goes to 100% for about 15-30 seconds and FF locks.  I have to use the Task Manager to kill it.

I have fiddled all day trying to get my email all in one or two spots.  I will warn you not to try to use Windows Live to consolidate.  It simply does not work.  I also tried to link all my Hotmail accounts and that does not work either.  Evidently they were making a few mods today as the “Account” function is no longer there.  Now how do you link all the files?

I ordered SAM’s Christmas presents today.  I am glad that is done.  I hope the presents are appreciated but I am not hopeful because if you turn a geek loose in a store what does he buy?�
