Thanks for the kind words. I've now got one of my Brother's and his wife online with 3 maybe 4 pc's, too.

I have some wireless now. This lappy that's doing so well for me is on a wireless connection, and, another lappy is also wireless, as well as my KJAM.

I have an access point and a wireless/ethernet router, next I'm looking for a wireless print server or wireless printer with a bunch of features, then I'll get some wireless cards for the desktops.

You're right, the focus is on the medical and human benefits, the points are just for fun and additional motivation.

Why do truckers contract anything? Our lifestyle sucks. LOL We are constantly and consistantly subjected to toxic fumes, we live in an enclosed atmosphere with poor ventilation systems, we eat fried crap 3, 4 or even 5 times a day (some of us), we're in a seated position being thrown about and slammed up and down for hours and hours on end, and we're so beat when we finally do come home-we don't even feel like working out, going to the doctors' office, or planning for a healthier future. And to top it all off, most of us get treated like dogs, cheated out of our earnings, and cussed at so much, we get depressed and lose our self esteem. Other than that, no reason in particular. LOL

I've been blessed. I've been able to cope and overcome and succeed, and not let most of it get to me, but many, many, aren't so lucky.

Anyway, I see that we've moved up, gained on several other teams, increased our cpu's and team members, and we are on a roll! WooHoo!!!

I'm working on using two consoles on my mp boxes. That could help up my job counts a lot. I better get back to it.

Thanks again,

:O)

Oops you're a wireless guru TOO. LOL If you don't mind my asking, how does a truck driver like you get so involved with computer?

Might've thought the trucking thing through... no surprise at all. You pretty much have to spend whole days in the car... and I'm guessing that with the recent regulations that truck drivers be given at least 8 hours of off time between shifts (or along these lines), you spend even more time away from home.

Trucks are annoying on the road (though they can't really help it, I'd rather anger a few random drivers than my boss)... but I see regular car drivers treating them much worse. If a truck tries to merge into the highway... *everyone* speeds up along the lane so they don't get stuck behind a truck. Or, alternatively, people will speed and pass a truck, then as soon as they've passed a truck, they go back to the right lane or slow down, without any respect for the laws of physics that it takes truck drivers much longer to slow down. That's just plain mean.
