I still think that money, measured against a fixed scale,
such as gold or hours worked, or even pounds of cars, has
gotten steadily lower in value.

I think that for most things the ratio is 10-1 since the
1950s and about 1,000 since the 1890s. Except for things
that didn't exist in the day, Bill Gates is poor compared to
the Vanderbilt family.

This is a discussion not for this board really.

I'll just say that usually, as the dollar increases in value against other
currencies, Gold will decline and as the dollar declines, Gold increases.
In other words, precious metals that at one time appeared to be a good gauge
have become too volatile and as a measure, because they react to the value
of the dollar, in and of themselves I consider them a poor gauge.

Conversely, you can get some idea of the value as you seem to be measuring
it by doing some price comparisons. However, such comparisons can fall
short as well as they don't take into account income today versus "back
then." Inflation slowed to a crawl in the 1990s. Hence, if you use price
comparison as a value yardstick, the 1990s don't look very good compared to
past periods but taken based on the level of inflation at the time along
with the rising dollar value, low interest rates and low cost of energy,
even modes gains in income proved substantial, at least in the context of
that period.

It should be remembered that the Vanderbilts not only made their money at a
time when costs were significantly less but also at a time when there was no
income tax. They also began before the big trusts and monopolies were
outlawed and broken up. Gates made his money in a much different
environment. That said, Gates' fortune is largely on paper. His fortune is
tied to the value of his stock. This is not to say the Vanderbilts and
others didn't own stock but their fortunes had a larger capital component
than many fortunes today.

Not sure I want to have children at this stage of my life so I suppose I can
rule that out as a factor! :-)

When you take that out of the equation, then I only need one woman who
combines the qualities of the teenage beauty and the wise mature woman (I
hope with a nice little girl quality within) and I have all I need or
want! :-)

| Actually, I rather like the fact at this stage of my life,
a woman in her

young to remember some

Whatever the case, it was darn foolish to do while president, especially
under the glare of all that publicity and with so many people looking for
any opening to topple your presidency.

Very. I was reading some find law stuff a few weeks ago and
think there are some real problems out there with lawmakers.

In most states it is legal to have sex with a person over 16
but it is illegal to have pictures or video of a sexual
nature of a person under 18.

Yeah the CONSENT law is interesting at best. Funny part is she can CONSENT
then afterwads change her mind. hmmm, very scary indeed.

There was a very badly done sci-fi movie about 10 years ago,
it had a scene with lawyers negotiating one-night-stands in
a bar, to verify ages, benefits and other details. Very
funny at the time. Did you ever think that the reason that
actor spent $50,000 on hookers was because that was cheaper
than a California palimony suit. LOL, a heck of a lot cheaper.

Problem is so many presidents before him were just as foolish just lucky
enough to not get caught. He was foolish to do it simply because he spent
his entire presidency under the spotlight and magnifying glass.

Oops.. Lost that bet..

I thought it would be another week or two before wojo went insane.
Now WHOM did I make that bet with... hmmm...

bigshay8695,

Your post leaves much to be desired. We have no idea if you are asking this
because your PII 300MHz with 128MB RAM seems slow or if something has
happened. How about a little more information added to this thread on the
newsgroup?

Sorry about my english.
You get a big problem like all the people using MS software ( including me).
Windows is a big virus, resources waster system.
MS focuses on ease of use but forgot computing speed. They make focus in the role of "The system help you and make tasks for you" against that the people wants. The people wants that the system do the user orders.
One recomendation is to use an old OS in new machines, like Win98 (never use WinMe) or if you use the PC to work, use Win2k.
This kind of system OS are serious faster than WinXP.
Specially faster and stable is Win2k. It have the base core of WinXP without the skin and services it runs.
I hope this can be useful for you....
Or move to linux like me.....
Bye...

There may have been a time when your slow PC ran quite nicely, when windows would boot up promptly. Just figure out the date. It might have been 1 week or 1 month ago. Perform a system restore back to the time when it was not so slow, of course after saving all your critical data. If this sounds too drastic then run msconfig and disable all the startup items and services and reboot. If your PC still takes over 15 minutes to bootup then ensure all critical updates are installed, run adaware, run antivirus scan, perform disk cleanup, defag your system harddrive and then run the network wizard again ensuring that the correct options are entered this time around. Check your device manager is not reporting any hardware that is not installed correctly and ensure to update the drivers for each entry which is reporting a problem. Also check to ensure the IDE channels are set to DMA. Finally uninstall your anti-virus/firewall especially if it Nortons and then reinstall DirectX. Finally, if all else fails, reinstalling your OS from a reformatted drive and reinstalling you applications may be quicker to do than trying to discover what is causing the problem in the first place.
