You start out dead, and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in an old age home, feeling better every day.
Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.
Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.
Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're too young to work.
At college, you're a free spirit: you drink alcohol and party.
Then you go to grade school, become a kid, play, and have no responsibilities.
Then you become a baby, and then...
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then...
You finish off as an orgasm.

XP users can log into a Mac as an osx user, and read and write that user's files!

OSX: System Preferences > Sharing > Services > FTP access > Note IP address at window bottom

XP: Start > My Network Places > Add > Next > Next > enter Mac's ftp://IP > Next > Uncheck anonymous > Enter Mac's username > Next > enter name > Next > Finish > Enter Mac's password

This sharing of a Mac's files to a PC is the easier direction, because OSX comes with a great easy ftp daemon (turn it on with one click in the sharing system preference panel), OSX has a clean model of user permissions (just log in as a given osx user to access all their files) and XP comes with a great easy ftp client (a one-time setup of 10 clicks and several text entries give you easy access to an Explorer-like window allowing bidirectional file copy, move, deletion, and renaming). The opposite direction is tougher, because OSX lacks a graphical ftp client, and XP lacks an ftp server, requiring you to instead use msb, with its Windows-like insecurity, clutziness, and requirement of rebooting.

This last month both of our two Dell desktop computers failed to boot. One of them started beeping instead of booting when we pressed the power button. The other one displayed a "bad disc error" instead of booting. I'd heard Dell had low quality, and I was now a believer, but I'd also heard that Dell had great service. Still, I procrastinated calling Dell, fearing that I'd have to spend a day boxing up our two desktops and running them to the post office. (Dell is exclusively mail order and doesn't have stores.) On top of that, I wasn't sure our PCs were still under warranty.

Finally today I got around to calling Dell. What a pleasant surprise! Toll free number. They picked up in less than one minute. (I ignored all the incomprehensible Japanese prompts to "press 33 if you have a computer being fixed today" and whatnot.) Our desktops were indeed under warranty, so Dell would fix them for free! After I told them I could probably install a new hard disc, Dell promised to mail me a new disc, and two days after that send a guy to our house to pick up the old broken disc. No trip to the post office! On the phone the Dell guy diagnosed our beeping computer with bad memory, and walked me through pulling out the memory and then pushing it back in, which, incredibly, fixed the problem! Woo hoo!

A healthy replacement for ice cream.

Peel 1 very ripe banana and cut it into chunks. Freeze uncovered on a plate for at least an hour(or overnight). Blend until smooth and creamy. Sprinkle chopped nuts, or place on a bed of pureed raspberries or strawberries.

Always a favorite at parties. Lately I've been breakfasting on it, as part of a serotonin-friendly diet.

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix ¾ cup sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, and 1 tsp dry ground mustard. Heat long enough to dissolve sugar. Cool. Add ½ cup onion, ½ cup oil, 1 tsp poppy seeds. Chill overnight.

Toss 10 oz spinach and 1 pint strawberries with dressing. Add ½ cup toasted sliced almonds just before serving.

Spread cubed fruit on wax-paper on baking sheet. Freeze 45 minutes. Blend with apple or orange juice, a little lemon juice, yogurt or ice cream, honey or sugar. Serve in chilled glasses.
