9. Know Where Camp David Is?
I've always been curious as hell. I know I must have been within 20 miles of it a hundred times but I have no idea where, back up in those hills, it is.

6. Yeah maybe
But your artwork is beautiful, especially the stuff you did for the Katrina auction. Better stop there or this post will go on forever about how I admire the things you've done.

7. This is a neat location too
32 08 53 87 N 110 49 30 14 W Airplane Graveyard

I really, really like Opera. It is a slick browser, check it out sometime. The browser is free, no ad now.

17. I've used Opera
Never upgraded to the "Ad free", haven't used it in a while. I'm hooked on Firefox.

11. I have a dumb question
I use Firefox, and I think I have the latest version, but I haven't checked recently. I'm missing the Google tie-in. Are you talking about the built-in Google toolbar in-the-browser search engine? If so, I agree it's really cool (I also like the switchable drop-down box with Wikipedia, ebay, Websters, etc). If you're talking about some other Google product tied in with Firefox, I must go get it.

Thanks.

13. No question too dumb for me to not be able to answer
I went to Google Pack. It may have been there a long time, but I just finally noticed it. Looks like there's other stuff I haven't downloaded.

I am amazed at the speed difference.

16. Me too
and I love the adblock. I know so little about computers, I didn't know you could know that little.

So I try to be beyond cautious about what I download but I've been nothing but happy the with the Fire boys.

18. Google Desktop2? God, I love it! I've been using it since the Beta
and I don't know how I ever lived without it.

(It will slow up older machines w/o much memory)

Here's a link: http://desktop.google.com/?utm_source=AdWords&utm_campaign=US_HA_EN&utm_term=google%20desktop&utm_medium=cpc

You Will love it!
