 Good Morning Everyone,it took me some time to get my father´s PC up and running again, being 8 years old, it urgently needs replacement. I think it is just great, that the grand old man still participates in the world of the internet, that deserves a [tup]Zoe,  make that a coffee in my LKAB mug, fried eggs, sunny side up. buttered toast and fried bacon, thank you, m´am. Folks, it is of no use to dream of something that I will not be able to put into reality in a foreseeable future. If I´d  keep on just dreaming, I will probably not start anything. So it will be much better to boil things down, but have some, even if only little, MRR activity. OK, this is what my brain tells me, but my heart says, go for the Salt Lake layout, enjoy watching those long trains  [}:)]I am confused. [:(] Lee - I have not been to Haiti in my traveling days, but I have been to rural India and Bangladesh. $ 5 in that region of the world means the difference between life and death.  Actually, the majority of those close to 7 billion people we have in the world live under circumstances we would most likely not survive for a week, yet we take notice of this fact only, when there is a catastrophe like the Haiti earthquake to be reported.I have lost my job and my house, but I don´t have to live on the street. I live in a small, but still nice apartment, which is being paid for by society - out of taxes I also contributed heavily to. Petra and I get about $ 900 as monthly allowance to pay for our living, i.e. food, clothing, electricity, telephone. Now that´s not much, and living off that is not really comfortable, but it can be done. There is no room for extras, but I don´t have to worry about our basic needs. Medical bills are also being picked up. OK, after 30 years of hard work and paying much more taxes compared to what you are used in the US, this seems to be not fair. But what is it in comparison to what the people in Haiti have to go through now? I wish I were able to donate more than those lousy 10 Euro-bucks..Have a good day, you all!
