I got Empire Earth II, a game, today when I got off work. It cost me $42.00 and I did not even look up what the employee discount would be on the item. Now I find it has a problem with my computer. I will have to play it some other time when I get an a new computer.
I had to put the price out today on a lap top computer. I forget the make. I think it was the HP Pavilion zv5450us. What a great looking computer. The price was $1600.00 for it. I did not look up the employee discount. My guess is that I would get about $200.00 off the computer. But I would want to take out the extra protection plan and I expect it would cost about $200 for it.
Ken was checking a printed guide for apartments last night. He said that he does not think we can pay less than $900.00 for an apartment unless we want to live in Homestead.
I do not want to live in Homestead. Ken does not know this yet but today an inspector came out an did an inspection of this apartment. I suspect that the apartment has been sold. He was wanting to live here until he gets hired by the FAA or until he is too old be hired and then we would make plans. That would be about December of this year.
I want to live in Fort Lauderdale. Oh this weekend they got a free air show in Fort Lauderdale. I have never been to an air show. They used have one each year in Belton MO but I always was working. I would be at work and some of the aircraft would fly over Research Belton Hospital.
The U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds will be at this air show. I wil try and listen to the air show on my scanner.
I was talking to a young guy at work today. He is the software sales guy. I asked him what he was going to school to study and he said English. He said he wanted to be a teacher and a writer. I asked him if he had a blog and he said no. I told him that he should have a blog. He said he knew that he should have one. Then I told him that I invented the blog. He looked at me a bit funny. I waited to see if he could call 911 or if men in white coats would show up and take me away. But none came and I made it home OK. Smile
It looks like the BBS: A Documentary will be sent out very soon. I ordered a copy and I see he is sending a free copy to all those that he did an interview with ...so I am going to get an extra copy.
I will have to decide what to do with the DVD. I may just send it to LaDawna and Aaron. (They went to the pre-showing of the movie with me.) I should start having a contest here each month and give a small gift to the winner each month. The DVD set could be the prize for one month.
The guy that did this documentary did a real service for us old BBS people. Not just the SysOp people but you that were part of this history. It was a labor of love with him. It cost me a lot of money. I do not think he can ever make back that money. If you want to help him out order a set of the DVDs. Order a set for yourself or for a library. I have met the guy two times. I can tell a nice guy and he is one of those super nice guys.
