scottobearA little light headed yesterday, and the feeling has returned today. Maybe the different dosage / new medication?
When I checked my CD/DVD this morning (to play that music) W2k said it was gone. I rebooted a few times, to no avail.. Something happened to the driver. I reinstalled it and everything seems fine now :)
Sakes, what would I do without that device? Really the only way I install software...I can't recall off the top of my head last time I used the floppy at home.
Plus, I need the cd as a key for most of my games. I suppose that I could download the CD-keys, if something happened.
There's also the thing about watching a DVD on monitor #2 while your working on a programming project in monitor #1... I wonder how Tron 2.0 is coming along? Whoops, that's a video game. I was looking for Tron Killer App, but maybe it's stillborn?
Skipping the seafood fest, because of rain.

Teeth from corpses being sold as new dentures
Police in Paraguay have uncovered a scheme in which teeth stolen from dead bodies are being sold as new dentures.
Thieves raided cemeteries to steal the teeth, which they then sold on illegally to dental laboratories.
Dentists in the Assuncion area were buying the teeth, thinking they were laboratory made, and fitting them in patients' mouths.
The local government has issued a warning to dentists and dental patients to make them aware of the fraud.
Newspaper Ultima Hora warned readers: "Be careful! A good tooth that your dentist may try to implant on you could come from a dead person!"
Aureliano Escobar, manager of Del Este cemetery, said he had made more than 400 complaints to the police in the last few months. Now cemeteries all over the city want more police guarding their grounds.
A local government spokesman said: "It is a very alarming situation and we are looking into it. Meanwhile everyone should be careful when dealing with teeth they think come from labs.
"I say to those robbers, leave the dead alone."

One of my relatives thinks I should be one of the art/painting people at a dental lab. It was a compliment, but I have no idea what to say about that. ;)
