Library Cataloging
Its time for a new computer for our home. Ours still works, but the kids' is just too slow and old. Cora and I are getting a new machine and the kids are getting our current one. Any suggestions? I think I'll pass on a modem, haven't used one in a few years and I can't see going back to dial-up. I think one DVD/CD-RW drive would be enough. Or should I get a blu-ray drive or 2 disc drives? What else don't I need anymore or should have just in case? Monitors have gotten much nicer in the past several years. Any suggestions? What would be a good general purpose home machine? I'm not into on-line gaming, so it does not need that kind of power. I might watch video downloaded from Netflix or Hulu. Thanks.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my auto accident. A good deal of my time and effort this past year has been to get well. Doctor visits, shots, tests, pills and physical therapy still continue. My life is now back to normal in many ways. I can walk...
- Timex Data Link Watch
An appeal for help. My Timex Data Link watch can no longer receive info from the computer. The bar codes begin but then the screen is minimized and breaks the transmission. The watch is an older technology, but it still works for me. If any one has a...
