Congrats MJ!! Those are some nice gifts :) Pull Vista off your laptop . . . we've been doing some testing at work and in general Vista slows performance down on average 3x's over the same tasks on XP on the exact same hardware (brand new computers with 2gb of ram). It's a real problem for everyone using windows. I think somewhere it was ranked as the #1 technology disappointment in 2007.

Probably a 1.8 dual core?
Santa brought me a pair of Muck Cikana fishing boots and some gift certs to my favorite local tackle shop. ;D
Amongst the plethora of other gifts, the kids somehow finagled an x-Box 360 out of Mrs. Claus ::)
Now they have Xbox, PS2, WII, Game Cube, 4 Computers, and miscelaneous other electronics. Nah, the kids aren't spoiled Honey, no, not at all ::)

MJ, you must have been a very good boy this year. How 'bout a picture of your new computer?
Me, I got a ticket for a fishing charter in January. I'm still not sure if that means I've been bad or good. ???

SSo , on your way to Hershey,
you will drive by Cabella's,
unless you take the Pa. turnpike,
but I think your best bet is I-78,
anyway, when you see Cabella's,
you will be within 15 minutes from my house.
I like that tide clock, that is great.
