Register for SOBCon now, the presentations are content-rich and interactive.
I wish I had more time to read all these topics. But I do. Liz just gave us the whole weekend. Why do we want more and what is wrong with wanting more time? Nothing really, but it is a good question.
Since my time is limited, I decided to read a little at a time. I read Rajesh Setty’s comment on “The real cost of your computer.”
Having recently purchased a new computer, I can relate to this post. I am always leary of the ad that promises “Brand New Computer for $999”. When you start researching you realize that the price does not include many software programs or extras.
I didn’t need the expansion base, new speakers with woofer, or tv capability. But they sure are nice to have.
Hi Carma!
What a wonderful comment! My time is crazy too and that’s exactly what I do. I take a few minutes every hour or so to check in on the blogs I read!
I’m with you on those computer ads. Uh-uh!

Hi Liz
Thanks! (But you know what goes around, comes around 😉 It was one of your post that ‘stewed’ this).
Enjoyed ‘the real costs of a computer’. How true, but as Carma mentions: software also costs, and one of my computer trainer friends always says (and has made her business catch-phrase out of it): if you want real ROI on you computer, ACT (her business name) now and get proper training on the software.
(She’s a very good teacher also).
Hi Karin!
Good morning!
it was fun to see where the thinking took you and I’d be interested in the rest of the story.
What a great marketing slogan your trainer friend has. 🙂
Ah good morning computer mavens … thanx for including my pumped up primer… Now that you’re fit and fueled… always most welcome guests.
Happy weekend all
GP who knows all too well that “running mode” as well as her horse 🙂 Ah… sometimes you just have to slow down to go faster
Hi GP!
Happy Saturday to you as well!
Glad to hear that everything is in great running order! 🙂
GP checking in again here after riding the western pleasure horse alle. I’m loving her more and more though Such a ying and yang between her (collected show horse) and Picken (thoroughbred race – operative word being race – horse).
Arm is healing from unfortunate collision with sheet of ice last month. Yowey.
But in the “we are the world segment”, just processed an online reservation for a couple from Merry Ole England. How fun
GP in Montana
Hi GP
Thanks for checking in!
Sounds like you’re getting more and more of that riding in while were back here in the city. . . . 😉
