altivoToo tired to make a real post I am. Oh, it's Wednesday again, no wonder.
Looks like we need to add memory to about eight machines at work in order to get around some limitations in the new version of Userful software. Fortunately, they're old Pentium III class Dells, all the same model, and the memory upgrade will cost about $18 for each machine. That I can do without busting any budgets.
Their tech support has a hard time understanding why we don't just buy new machines. After all, these are "so" old. But they still work just fine, and it shouldn't be necessary to use some turbocharged overpowered equipment just to fetch catalog records. The difference between $150 to upgrade eight machines' memory or a minimum of $8000 to replace those machines is not insignificant and especially not in the current economic climate.
After I said the foliage colors were disappointing here this year, today I drove from Woodstock to Harvard on US14 right at noon with the sun out and the sky clear. There was a lot of color on that route, plenty of reds, oranges, yellows and rusts. Missing were the pinks and purples we sometimes get, but still the display wasn't bad at all.
Trip to Ohio is in the balance due to a vehicle failure (not mine.) We may still be able to go, but if we take my car, then the desired cargo definitely can't fit. It will be just the two furries and luggage. To be decided...

I think they broadcast over the web if you want to listen.

They got a picture gallery and "news" stories, too.
Actually, it was my longtime enjoyment of their program that led me to realize I was suffering from a schizotypal personality and to start analyzing how insane I really was. Now these little things amuse me, but I don't give them any weight as far as merit goes.
