ugh…my machine went down hard last week.Â Problem turned out to be a bad stick of RAM and is fixed now, so I should get stuff back up.Â Still recovering because some system stuff was upgraded during the bad memory time and now some things are hosed.Â In the meantime I got me a new friend, a MacBook.

FLO! Glad to see you're not too bummed about Germany falling to Italy! Wish I could have joined Rick on his World Cup watching adventures, but c'est la vie!

As to France and Zidane, I'm with you - what a story that would be!

Rick,

three things ...

1.

/me ha-ppy ha-ppy ha-ppy haaaa-py

/others sa-ad sa-aaad

:-)

2.

re: your world cup predictions ... never underestimate the Italian defense. Cannavaro, Buffon, Zambrotta rulez ...

3. I got a MacBook too. I like it although it's a little hot

4. Want to catch up with you and your world cup stories around a pitcher of beer.

cheers

Marino

Fed up with beer ruined by warm hands? Then use BEER TONGS brand beer tongs, for a more satisfactory beer drinking experience (ad parody)
