I myself am disabled, and on a       fixed income, dealing with medical bills for surgeries, procedures, etc. right       now. So, I don't have extra money to throw around.               In that regard, Comcast Cable called today with a telemarketer having a       heavy foreign accent, trying to get me to take advantage of a new special,       which would cost me more. I finally told him "I guess you don't understand       English. I said I can't afford to upgrade my cable service, and may have to       reduce what I have soon, due to medical bills...good day", and hung up on him.               Believe me, if I wanted to upgrade, and could afford to, I would. That       applies to OS's, cable TV setups, etc. Also, when I purchased my copy of       Windows 7 32-bit from Amazon, I likely got it much cheaper than what Microsoft       originally sold it for...I think I paid around $70, with shipping.               And, I've never been one to download the OS when it first came out...the       bugs still with it made it have more holes in it than a pair of old       underwear...and it stinks about as much. :P              Daryl              ---        * OLX 1.53 * Cartoonist found dead in home.
