READ THIS BOOK. READ THIS BOOK!
If you really want to know and to understand what the old west was like, and what the young men went through in those days, then We Pointed Them North by E.C. (Teddy Blue) Abbot is the book to read. If you ever think that you've got it tough, then read this book. You'll never complain again.

Well, you know, when you reach 80, there's a lot of papers stored up, among other things. I came across some notes, when I got screwed out of $1,500 by them when they were working for FOX Broadcasting back in 1988. Joe Honig and Steve Wilson were preparing a program, and they called upon me to do some research on art law for them. They had a program: Howardehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08351528710887312354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517935.post-1105088116404651792005-01-07T01:38:00.000-08:002005-01-07T00:58:10.560-08:00NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE'RE JUDGED WRONG!
Did you see how quickly we were criticized by a UN official in the aftermath of the tsunami, when Pres. Bush stated an amount that we would donate to help in the recovery efforts in the far east?

A friend sent me an email and asked that I write CBS or NBC, whatever, about an upcoming program about Jane Fonda as one of the 100 Great Women of the 20th Century In checking on this, as so often is the case on the Internet, I found it to be erronious, as that program happened in 1999, five years ago.

In my view, it was criminal conduct when Dell Corp. kept installing Windows ME in their Dell Dimension computers after they began getting complaints about it as an operating system, but if you cannot fault them with that, then not to notify each and every purchaser of the problems is a complete betrayal of their customers.

What do you think that Dell would do?
Do you think that they'd have the gall

Whether you've had a change of mind
And changed awful Windows ME,
Replaced it with Windows XP?
