Hi,

@AmigaED,

What part of Pensiltucky do you live in, I live in a little trashy city called Wilkes Barre, where when you call the mayor and ask him how do you get rid of a water bed in this city (trash collection is really ridiculous) he says cut it up in small pieces and put it in a blue plastic bag (size of a 30 gallon trash bag).  This seems to be their answer for getting rid of mattresses, toilets, carpeting etc. Wonderful city to live in. At least in Parker Florida (where I used to live) they had good trash pickup, but it was sort of hard finding the mayor, he took off with $350,000 never to be heard of again.

By the way all of you Amiga.org people, don't come to Wilkes Barre smerf hunting, us smerfs are hard to find, and know the sewer routes well.

On Jay's little talk there. These words of wisdom are very true, I see to many young people taking off from work because they purchased a new game. Come in late to work because they were up late playing a game or not coming into work at all because of game playing. How many times today have I heard we can't do that the computer is down (come on to make a deposit in a bank? or buy a burger at McDonalds? ) You ever watch any of our young people hand out change, or how about kids playing outside? Just ain't happening today.

Hi,

@AmigaED,

Wow, your only an hour and 54 minutes away by MSN travel. I didn't think there would be another Amiga owner anywhere near here. We may have to discuss getting together sometime in the future.
