Activewords. If you're a keyboard banger like me...no, wait
a sec...keyboard pounder...I'm going to stop right now.
Anyway, I don't like reaching for a mouse.  I'd rather just
type something in, hit a function key and have something
happen.  Lauch a program, do a spell check, etc.  I've used
it for a couple of days, endless in the shortcut dept.  It's
~11 megs so dl it late at night or on the weekend.  Best I
could get was 2.5k/sec on a Saturday night.  You have to
join lockergnome.com pre-Nov.20.  Chris Pirillo, lockergnome
guru, sends out a newsletter (freebie) about 'geeky' stuff.
All kinds of free stuff to be found therein.  He drives an
Altima :)  Anyone who can navigate a keyboard efficiently
will find this a major time saver.

I have absolutely nothing to gain from this, nada, zip.
Just a happy camper :)

On to SAC...someone was wondering about the 5k costs of
ownership.  My 87 5kq (2.5 years in my possession) has cost
me ~$900cdn a year in parts and some labour (I don't like
doing brake lines anymore).  It is the most expensive car to
maintain that I have owned (around 15), so far.  However, it
is the most enjoyable highway driver I have ever owned, and
I do not intend to part with it until it rusts out...or it
costs me more than $900 per year to fix :)  Just kiddin'.

MYPSSHABW (something like that)  Phil P. might remember.
