A few more things.

1) A day of hardware failures.

My desktop failed. My son's laptop's DVD drive failed and one of his games refused to open. CDMA wireless PCMCIA card on my laptop failed. Can we have more things failing on a single day. Fixed son's game. Other things will hopefully get fixed in couple of days.

2)Started reading Freakonomics.

Once again broke my self imposed rule of "no more general stuff". After few pages, the impression is positive. Review in 3 or 4 days.

A friend's take on envisaged 100$ laptop.

More later.
