Good comment...

 > I pay Over $100.00 for a BP and NOW you sell them at $25.00 a piece?  No
fair!  :)  No problem, either.  Now that I am an author, I can afford it.  And
I am happy to support the Club 100.  I think most people in my situation would
be a little miffed, but I'm not.  Call me crazy.  Or call me autistic.  That
may be part of the reason.

Gee ... I'd better clear this one up.  Yes but your first BP was "normal" and
these are Just RAM.  Also, your first BP cost "me" over $100 each, and these
cost ... a lot less!  Most would be a little Miffed?  Only if they never took
economics and business courses.  Sure, I get someone now and then that complain
about pricing policies, but I make it a point to ask them if they've always
been Mr. Paycheck, having never had to make their own job but rather leach off
of someone else, then complain.  You know, like the auto workers who just went
on strike.  They earn over $80,000/yr (salery and benefits and retirement).
Who the hell are they to complain?

I understand you were just teasing ... and thank you for the support.

 > What is the status on that long ago mentioned M-100 backlit?  I have always
been (and still am) interested.  Recall I *was* first to ask for it.  :)

It doesn't work.  Something is broken in the circuit.  It's torn apart and
setting in a box on a shelf out in the warehouse.  If I ever get the time (fat
chance) to get into it then I will probably keep it for myself.

 > Also, how do I oder the DeskLink?  I think that would be a kewl thing to
have.  Someday I will be going back to college.  And I think I would prefer the
M-100 to a fancy MS-DOS laptop.  The screen would get in the way of my seeing
the blackboard.  Good ol' Model T, great for taking notes!  :)

Yeah ... DeskLink seems to be the trick, now, especially on the newer, faster,
hot rod Pentiums.  Just order it up in the (8)ClubStuff area.  I'll take it
from there.

Back to school?  You're going back to school?  Lucky stiff! :)  Gee... I
remember when I have nothing better to do but to hang out on campus, play
around, learn some things or ignore the world all together.  But allas, it was
short lived.  Back to work...

 > Sorry I haven't been around for a while, been traveling around the world and
seeing the sights and beautiful women.  Hawaii sure is GREAT in December!  :)

Oh ... go away!  I don't want to hear about that.  Last time (first time) Paula
and I went to Hawaii was back in 1984.  And since then, we haven't had a
vacation, let alone see "the world!"  You lucky stiff ... get out of here ...
go back to Hawaii!  :)          -Rick-
