Where in NC Don? Our place is on Lake Keowee, in the NW part of South Carolina. The lake is also at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains. We're in an unusual position, we're on a point of land and there are only eight lots there. They took the other lots off the market till the market improves. We'll be there all by ourselves for a while <chuckle> We have a dock in, the boat in the dock, and 1/3 of the house framed <G> In the mean time, we're renting a condo at Keowee Key to use as a "landing pad" while the construction is going on. We'll be back down there late next week. I understand it's been raining like crazy down there the past week or so. I agree on AShampoo as well. All their products are being discounted. Another one is AVS software. I have to chuckle........I too am subscribed to Gizmo, DotTech, and the GAOTD lists. Thay are my "candy" sources <G> Regards, Bob -- the "Keyboard Cowboy" ,,,,,,,, Õ¿Õ¬ -----------<========<<0++0>>========>----------- Desert Mountain -- Scottsdale, Arizona The Cliffs, Keowee Falls South -- South Carolina NRA Life Member Photos: http://keyboard-cowboy.smugmug.com/ -----------<========<<0++0>>========>----------- This email was sent on 4/6/11 at 10:19 PM <timezone> by Keyboard Cowboy. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of recklessmaverick@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 8:31 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: testing I'm sitting in our vacation home in NC as I write this. A bit chilly but not too bad. We love the Blue Ridge Mountains! AShampoo has been especially aggressive. Giving away or deeply discounting a lot of "previous version" packages in hopes of getting some upgrade orders. I follow Gizmo, Infopackets and DotTech to get great freebies and news of discounts and special offers. WHEW! I just visited the website for the Cliffs.

I admit life has taken many swift and challenging turns of late. My wife has retired.....and started working part time as a consultant. We sold our home in Cincinnati and made our second home here in Scottsdale our primary residence. Next, we bought a lakefront lot in The Cliffs at Keowee Falls South and are building a second home there. Consequently we've been traveling back and forth to check on the construction progress. The next 9 months will be very intense to say the least <G> I have been watching (from a distance) and apologize for being so quiet. I can say, if you all want to buy software...........I've seen some pretty aggressive pricing in the last few months. I suspect many little software (and large for that matter) companies are struggling in these economic times. As an example, Corel is offering a deep discount on its photography software. ACDSee just brought out a major upgrade and it's discounted too. Again, thanks for the kind words..........hope all are doing well!
