FP & C and D

Sorry to hear that the garage kit co. Fantastic Plastic (FP) got a "cease & desist" from Lucasfilm in regard to their starship models paying homage to the SW movies. Luckily for me, knowing the GK market I bought the ones I really wanted. In the GK world if you hesitate you can definitely lose out.
But FP has a number of other kits based on movies, concept vehicles, or other sci-fi. Check 'em out at www.fantastic-plastic.com .

Random thoughts and a friendly warning.

Hi again, despie me saying that I would post more the fact is that I have not (duh). My latest problem involved the supposedly helpful program Ad-Aware. Fact is that once you run it, it installs a program called aaservice.exe that runs in the background all the time. As it runs it uses between 70 to 99% of the CPU! As you would expect the PC runs super slow and it even crashed my email program multiple times. Thankfully I was able to rid my PC of it. If you have it get rid of it. If you want it - choose something else. My internet security is now with www.CA.com .

Some friends knew that our heating plant died this spring and how we've had to get a new one ($$$), just recently my car started giving up the ghost. And with the Cash for Clunkers program I was finally able to unload it. Even tho I'm happy that the govt is allowing us $$ for our old cars it burns me a little that the $$ are from our taxes.
So they make a big deal about giving me some of my own money back! Anway I did manage $4500 for an $1100 car.
