    I'm in the process of moving all of Mrs Boomyal's data from her old Toshiba Laptop to her new Dell Laptop. I cannot find the directory where all of her Outlook Express Inbox emails are located. I assume that once I find and copy them I can just paste them to the same directory on the new...

    Rechargable battery question.

    Can you mix the use of Ni-MH batteries of different mAh values. Example, I have a device (LED light) that uses 3 AAA batts. I have two pairs of AAA Ni-MH batts. One pair is 900 mAh and the other is 750 mAh. Obviously I cannot select three of them with identical ratings. <br /><br />So d'ya...

    Washington State Dems get their greedy little hands slapped.

    Immediately after the last state election, the Democratic legislature hiked, by a hefty amount, the sin taxes to pay for their new pet programs.<br /><br />I am not sure how much a pack of cigs went up but the old half gallon of generic vodka went up from 16.5$ to 20.5$'s. The last I checked...
