By Cliff Millward, Editor cliffm@xmission.com Barbie is a Geek? You can now purchase a Barbie Computer Engineer Doll. It comes complete with laptop, iPhone and bluetooth headset. However, in my opinion, the doll seems a bit too good looking to be an actual computer engineer. Coffee Anyone? A coffee store in Eau Claire now features a brand of coffee called Kopi Luwak. It is known as “cat poop coffee” because the beans are harvested from the feces of a Thailand cat that eats coffee cherries.

Laplink PCmover Professional, Part 1 Connect Your World - HIAWC By Don Nendell Happy December 2010 and Best Wishes from sunny Las Vegas (although today is cloudy and a little chilly, which is more unusual than not) ;-} Since I’m writing this in November, my birthday month, I’d like to share with you some photos from my new camera Donna gave me (see graphics).
Topping the list, however, is the overall totally unnecessary added expense of the complete metamorphosis itself, (you can just hear from here those cash registers dinging like the incessant bells of a Casino gaming floor (See graphic), even as we speak?

I’ve got two (2) more days before I’m contacted again, but, I’m sure it still won’t get fixed in time for the publication date of this Review.

Before We Start A little upgrade background info is in order here. Here’s what “they’re”saying out on the street. Windows 7 (Win7) is touted as a stable mature product, so there’s no reason why not to start migrating away from XP into Win7, that is, unless software (which I have an abundance of) is not supported (ditto) or is not compatible with Win7 (which we’ll definitely see first-hand for ourselves, now) at all.

say in Thailand, we’ll just call TS tomorrow and get all this straightened out nice and easy. Amazingly, when I clicked the Error Message off, the whole thing started running like a champ. “Hot damn, ya’ll I swear!” “This time, we made it, didn’t we girl?” “The music is pounding in my ears, will success spoil Rock Hunter?” All sorts of hilarious, gleeful, happy thoughts were flying around in my brain. But wait! Houston, I’ve just realized I’ve got a problem.
