Saturday morning greetings! After a couple of days of cooler, less humid weather, summer's coming back to SW Ohio. Pretty soon we'll have to close the windows and turn the AC back on.

It's hot out there. And I had to work an hour in it trying to get the Bountiful Baskets put together for pickup. It's an interesting setup, and I don't know if any of you use it in your areas. But you pay a flat fee -- this time it was $15 -- to get a basket of fresh fruit and a basket of vegetables. You don't know what you're going to get, but in this two times I've done it, fruit has outweighed veggies by far. I ended up with three honeydew melons, a cantaloupe, grapes, blueberries and peaches today, plus broccoli, kale, tomatoes and romaine lettuce. Now, to find time to eat all that. I may turn the kale into a soup that I can freeze or use for lunches next week.

The talk of Dell and Windows sends shivers down my spine. It's all here, in the very early days of this discussion board, my hatred of both and my final stomping to death of my Dell computer after their tech in India effectively nuked everything on my hard drive. I literally put the thing on the ground and killed it. And then asked the question here would I have to learn all new skills with Apple. And people said I'd have to learn new things and it might take a while - then I said, "here's what I do - I go on the Internet and I write in Word." At that point, everyone said GO, make the move, it's simple as pie. I bought my first Apple Powerbook laptap and have never looked back. It was SO easy and I got Word for Mac and I was up and running and happy in minutes and the only thing I had to unlearn was the endless keystrokes it took to do anything on the Dell. With the Mac it was one click and you were there - and it's only gotten better with each new Mac product I've gotten. I'm on my fourth laptop (the Macbook Air) and my second desktop. Their tech support is unparalleled.

Found it - here's one thread and if you go to the day after you'll see I made the purchase and the Mac Powerbook G4 was going to be shipped. I'm sure a few days later it was here and I was in heaven.

TCB I am sorry I didn'nt intend to leave without saying goodbye -- my machine was hijacked by some damn Windows update - just suddenly shut down on me and started running updates so I went off to bed

Deb, you might want to go back and proofread the sentence beginning with "just suddenly..."

Just sayin'

no that was the right word....

Breakfast Ed? Is that where you learn to eat a healthy first meal of the day?

DR Cilla thanks for answering my question. If you hadn't I would have figured you missed it or didn't care to, either way I was fine.

I haven't followed the trial too closely but from the beginning, emotions and horror at what happened aside, that is how I saw it & still do.

I've had several Dells, mainly because my past employers used them. Despite all my problems with them and their frustrating Indian help desk I keep finding myself going back to them. Next time though, I'm really going to have to consider something else.

We also have something the equivalent of "Bountiful Baskets" here, linked with the Saturday morning Farmer's Market. It's within walking distance of our home, so it's a shame not to take advantage of it, but I just fear that we won't be able to use all of that food before the next batch arrives.

Around here it's called CSA - community supported agriculture. Rob and Mary Linda have a half share in a KY farm and they get a box or bag of produce every Sunday from about May-October. She has had to get very creative with Swiss chard.
