At least I don't have this problem. My office is a totally separate structure about 35 feet away from my home. Only problem is commuting. I have to walk to work every day, rain or shine.

>>the woman was a photographer<< Really? I thought she used a mild expletive, then made him take a shower and put on a tie!

>>perks of being 60+<< All right, KC, you win. That's 20 things I can't disagree with you on! The only thing I CAN say is that my personal favorite isn't on the list--NO MORE PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES!

A woman from the deepest, most southern part of Alabama goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is written. The obit editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word. She pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then, let it read,'Billy Bob died'." Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor says, "Sorry ma'am, there is a 7 word minimum on all obituaries." Only a little flustered, she thinks things over and in a few seconds says... "In that case, let it read, "Billy Bob died - 1938 Pickup for sale."

I'd like to have an exercise bike as a desk chair. That would certainly help avoid the tax season gain I seem to get every year!

Good luck, and let us know how it works out for you. I'd certainly try to make it work, since no doubt the Win 7 will eventually no longer be supported, just like they are doing now with XP. I loved XP, but find now that Win 7 is working fine, and does have a few new features I like. Remember, I did not give up DOS until my tax software give me no choice! Then once I got used to the Windows XP [i hung back so long I skipped everything Windows before XP] I realized how much great stuff became available that DOS just could not provide. I'm happy with Win 7 now, but somewhere down the road, if I make it that long, I am sure I will move up to some other platform. Maybe Win 9 or 10?!
