Dealing with large companies such as this story has become such a nightmare . . . and it seems that nothing can be done about it. Perhaps if all of us customers complained by letter they would sit up and "notice".

A very nice assortment of British cars. I missed seeing the Triumph TR3 and a Morgan.

Well, yes and no. Looking at the statistics from BackBlaze, they are reliable, but SSDs seem to have the overall edge. SSDs do wear out after a certain number of writes, though. An HDD will keep working unless something breaks. As I said above, I am using some that are ten years old.
What should one look for to know if you have a failed backup drive?

Maybe if we had more women running things there might be more peace.

How did an upstart like Amazon manage to create such an apparently efficient system in such a short time?

At my age (89)I feel that I'm entitled to an occasional unintended typo. As a retired printer who worked for a major newspaper all of his life no one is bothered more by many typos than I am . . . but please folks . . . "give me a break".

Rosie, her Dentist, and the DeWalt!!!
Can a horse dentist do work on humans? I'm still in shock at the prices my local dentists want for me.

This is one of the most beautiful places my wife and I have ever visited. Thank you for the beautiful photos that we can all share again.

I've had a love affair with Citroen since mid last century. Mostly the DS21 Pallas of 1950, 1960 and 1970 vintage. It has been called by many highly qualified engineers the "car of the century" for the very advanced engineering that went in to it at that time. If it was not for scarcity of parts and mechanics that know how to repair it . . . I would be driving one now.

The Delage, Delahaye, Talbot-Lago (all French) and the lone Italian Bugatti always grab my attention. I consider them among the most beautiful autos ever made. Just look at that,Tom...the Gina Lollabrigida (in her heyday) of automobiles. Beautiful captures.
Don't forget to mention Citroen (also French) in that group. I believe that in cars beautiful function equals beautiful car!

I ordered a computer from Costco and I was told it would arrive today by 7pm. I stayed home all day and followed tracking... out for delivery at 9:15 am today. I have not received any notice of change in delivery. Regular UPS delivery truck was here at 10:30 but no pkg. Calling did no good, they just told me it was out for delivery.
It is now 8:11 pm and nothing... I am not pleased!!!

Nobody is perfect. For me 1 day late is really no problem. If it arrived 10 days late when it was promised the next day . . . that might be a problem.

Just think, if everything was mail order and there were no stores, we'd never have to leave the house.
We wouldn't even have to go to a destination to get a souvenir, just mail order one.
Think of all that gas we would be saving!!!!!

Mail order delivery may mean a lot more to people who are handicapped . . . and to those of us who are old and need to make a major effort to go anywhere!
