Its not the hardware that worries me, its the SOFTWARE. Ya'd a thunk that Microsoft wrote the operating system for these "yak-heads" (wife's comment) who drive for miles with a cellphone stuck to the side of their heads, not paying one whit of attention to their surroundings. Wrapped up in their little world, they don't seem to care about others or what is around them, right up to "oops, BSoD!!" (blue screen of death to the non-"computer geeks")

Oh.....I guess that is why I ride a bike...I LIKE seeing what is around me.

Hmmm....guess I need to buy a Mac now or something....heh. Nah, I'll just go for a ride. Actually using the Sprint for business use now, when possible. Nice to be able to write off a toy!

Guess that patient did need his/her eye examined.
There's one restoration you'd probably want to contract out.
I'm glad nobody got hurt.

Retro, funny thing is, she was comming for her preop for her cataract surgery!

At least she wasn't a post-op patient, that would make me look bad!
