Everyone should thank our fine schools here in the United States of America
for making late night segments like Jay Walking on The Tonight Show
possible. :) Anyone see the Jay Walking All-Stars segment last night? The
football player there is a prime product of our school system.
Seriously though, if you work in high school, you're going to be the one
earning the bucks twenty years down the road while the football captain is
still flipping burgers and most of the ditsy cheerleaders are slinking
around from boyfriend to boyfriend.

Wait a minute... you only had to pay 30 dollars for a college course?
Around here we have to pay upwards of $200! That includes books as well as
tuition.

Why is the server down? What does it all mean? Is the world coming to an

Here's an interesting story... Poor Ox64 has ISP problems so for the whole

Because of his ISP, we missed the first airing of Late Tonight. :(

Windows 2000 does not have the general software support for most programs.
That means if you install a game or image editor, there's a chance that some
incompatibility with Windows 2000 will goof it up. Another reason why XP is
"a good upgrade". If you want some good information, wait till you get a
program that requires XP to run before you upgrade. It might save you a bit
of money. After a few months you can search for deals on operating systems
and get them cheaper sometimes.

Doesn't windows 2000 run on either file system? You lose features if you go
with Fat32, but you shouldn't need them anyways unless you're some sort of
IT guy.

Freedom 2 Surf: http://www.f2s.net/
Don't count on 24/7 uptime though. It goes down about once or twice a month
for a day or two for some reason.

If you want a domain name to yourself, go to zimcity.net. They offer domain
registration for cheap as well as hosting for 10 bucks a month I think.
