Chang Mai is supposed to be very nice.  Malasia as well.  Singapore, I find
¨boring and expensive.  Looks good on paper but not as much fun stuff to
do.  ¨Sometimes, I dont even bother to leave the pier when there.  I'd
never pay ¨money to visit there.

BF> DVD burner so it will be easier to bring it with me instead of this he

I know the feeling.  I will probably bring my 'big laptop' but have to get
¨another external floppy drive for it.  Old one seems lost.  Not sure how
that ¨happened but it did.

Dunno but it's not endemic to just USA folks.  I've had some really
miserable ¨times with Michiel who was just as bad.  Hasnt happened in a few
years though ¨since we've gotten used to one another.

I drive him a little batty because I can and DO change my mind sometimes,
just ¨seldom on the things he wants me to change them on .
