If I could figure out a way to telecommute evaluations for crazy people, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Nothing that I'm actually capable of getting. So I'll get whatever people give me...I like giving gifts better anyway.

I don't have a landline phone at home, and with my credit rating they will ask for a substantial deposit before connecting me. Add that to the price of installation, and the cst of the PC and I just don't have that sort of money kicking around.

Saving is on my list of Responsible Behaviour for 2007, so perhaps it's not as much of a fantasy as I suggest. Except I'd rather start with a holiday

Sundae, it won't take long to get there I have every faith in you.

Hmm....let's see.......the new Terry Pratchet book; 'Amo Amas and All That' intro to Latin; winter coat.......and a new desktop computer with dual core and lots of juicy features!

I can see why that would raise concerns

I have a digital camera which has a video setting. So I can film anywhere, I just have to be at work in order to get the film online.

I'm at a desk Mon-Fri, then on a laptop in a shop Saturdays (& occasional Sundays).

I like the Viking swords, and the Roman ones.
