For me it is a great idea because I only have one phone line and nobody can get
through. Then again, since I got the internet, there were times I went online
just so I wouldn't have to hear the phone ring and if someone said they called
I had a valid excuse for not being able to take their call. :-)

Where did you get that idea about women? I'm a pretty patient person but not
for lack of interest. I just don't see the point of getting upset over things.
Life is too short for that.

I have never worked for any company around here that didn't have MS some type
of Windows and other MS programs. I noticed they mostly use NT or Windows 2000,
although some have moved to XP. In the job ads they require Office, Access,
Excel and some other MS programs knowledge. I can't get away from it.
