I hope that your dentist is as good as mine, and doesn't cause you too

I've long suspected that you really were in New Jersey, and faking the
whole
UK thing. Now I have proof. Everyone knows there are no good dentists in
England.

Actually, there doesn't seem to be a lot of 'em - s'true. I have however,
been very lucky with mine. He is a proper BDS, and I have been going to him
virtually since he graduated. He still has as much enthusiasm for the job
now, as he did back then all those years ago. He really does 'live'
dentistry. It's not just a job to him. It's his life's passion, and he is
superb at it. Over the years, I have pointed many friends and colleagues in
his direction, and I can't think of a single one that has ever had a bad
word to say about him. I dread the day that he ever retires ...

New Jersey ?? Where did that one come from ... :)

The old Internet "wisdom" that the 18 year old bi-curious well built
blonde California beach bunny, whom you just met in a chat room, and would
love to come to your home with her equally good looking girlfriend, if
you sent her your credit card number so that they could buy airplane
tickets is really a 50 year old bald guy with a beer gut and a 3 day
growth of beard, sitting in a basement in New Jersey.

They also inhabit dating sites some of which claim to screen their members.

Don't forget, He most likely has nothing on and hair all over him!

The word is 'losing', not 'loosing'. Sorry for being a pedantic fuck,
but it's a pet peeve of mine.

Guess how many donations I've made to charity over those 8 years?

Michael, you are to be congratulated for this. I'm trying to do
something similar, as I'm good as mixing & matching old PC parts to make
working systems, but it's hard to get them to the people who can use them.

Contact Veterans groups, and local agencies that deal with the
disabled. Also, your military when released from active duty so they
can look for jobs. You can call local schools to find needy families.
Give them to nursing homes, or just offer them on Freecycle or Craigs
List if there is a local group.

Older computers with limited memory and tiny hard drives will be
going to a day care center where they kill a lot of Windows 95
computers. That is better than sending them to the landfill, and they
don't need a good modem or network card.

This is interesting. I have done some of the same type of thing. I now
refuse most of that stuff or direct it to a few recyclers or it piles up. I
can't afford the real estate for that kind of storage. I hope no one is
offended, just an observation, but people who receive retirement or other
benefit, even independently wealthy, tend not to work toward a return on a
financial investment because the pressure is off. Although I have helped
out at the local church, I find that if I donate too much of my labor, it
depletes resources that could have been more useful, such as HIRING
Veterans, Handicapped, Unemployed and Homeless.

BTW I would hire someone off the street, face to face before wasting time
wading through a million e-mails.

And since when do nursing homes and day care centers need to play with
computers when they should be changing diapers and breaking up squabbles and
kissing playground boo boos?

Granted though, the Internet is more informative and entertaining than the
boob tube.

What does that have to do with keeping electronics out of a landfill,
and giving it to people who couldn't afford to pay anything more than
the electric bill to run it? Who is going to pay your 'Veterans,
Handicapped, Unemployed and Homeless' to do work that generates no
income?

A computer can help the elderly keep their mind sharp by letting them
write letters and do other things that keep them from vegetating.

The day care center uses the older computers for preschool age
children to teach them to read, and do simple math. The one I have in
mind can not run the software they use on NT/XP/linux based systems, due
to its age.


Granted though, the Internet is more informative and entertaining than the
