how I spent my economic stimulus check
Bah: an unanticipated new garage door opener, but I have to admit that it's nice to have one that a) works, b) is quiet, and c) has a working light in it. For the record, the Genie brand isn't so good, says the dude who replaced it.
Yay: a long-anticipated new 'pooter. The desktop that I'm typing on right now is over ten (10) years old. Oedipa's been a good machine, but she's awfully long in the tooth: Win2K, which many peripheral vendors no longer support even if MS does; USB 1 at a whopping 12 MB/sec; and her now-anemic 80GB of hard disk is twenty times what she came to us with.
Yay: My check was bigger than most of yours because I have a Wendling.

I was just wondering!! You got a check large enough to buy a new 'pewter!! I got practically nothing!
