600 page manual
Well, Julio at citiegrafix has printed my manual, and it will cost nearly $20 cdn to have it shipped to me! Wow! Maybe post would be just as good? I mean, that's 50% of the cost of printing it. USA Expedited Parcel (10 days) : $12.85, according to Julio. Another mail has been sent back to Julio.

In the meantime, Sam got his Kinko's to print it 2-up. I'm a bit jealous. And then, he's offering to print it for others for $25 + shipping - here

Virus checking and more...
Last night was our yearly parish post-Nativity dinner. That was good. One of my dinner-mate's computer had stopped working correctly. Another member of our parish, an IT guy, took a look at it. Well, person #1 didn't use anti-virus software, no firewall, etc. The IT guy said: your computer has several viruses, spyware, hijack-ware, etc. I freaked a bit. I went home and downloaded the kasperksy virus checker. They said my download would freely check for viruses, but if I wanted them removed, I'd have to buy the virus-checker. Fair deal.

Result? Well, the scan took about 8 hours on my 5G 500MHz machine. I had about 8 different viruses 56 times. Alarmed, do you think? Actually, not. Kaspersky checks your outlook express dbx (folders) files. Within those, yes, I had many emails which had virus-laden attachments. I don't open attachments. No. Never from anyone I don't know. Never from something on an email list. Rarely if I know the person.

exercise
Yesterday I walked 2.3 miles in 50 minutes. I have some arthritis, and it really didn't help the arthritis, yet. I went to work on my web assignments in the school's computer lab, but left after being in too much pain. Bone pain I understand. But my left thigh muscle hurt. Hungry, tired and in pain, I went home. I almost didn't make it to the parish dinner.
