Bottom line - If your business data isn&#8217;t important, go ahead and get that $99 terabyte drive.  If it matters, be ready to spend quite a bit more.
You get what you paid for.  There are good reasons why a Land Cruiser costs more than a Yaris, even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A letter ran in the local paper praising the same legislation that has made S. Hartgen a nationwide laughing stock.  That letter appears here:
This was the response I wrote.  
So if Hartgen&#8217;s bill were to become law, can I say that I felt annoyed, terrified, threatened, intimidated, harassed, and offended by the comments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It certainly looks that way&#8230;  Larry Craig was a huge embarrassment to the Idaho GOP, and as a freshman legislator Hartgen has already ignited nationwide disgust and outrage, but both of these are probably outweighed by outright mockery at how clueless Hartgen (and by association, the Idaho Republican Party) really is.

Maybe NOW some of my Obamaphile friends will start to get why I&#8217;m always talking about why the Federal Reserve, bailouts, &#8220;stimulus&#8221; plans, and Leviathan government are bad&#8230;

McGoohan was 80 years old and leaves behind his wife of 57 years, 3 daughters, several grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Either one would be difficult considering he&#8217;s a couple of thousand miles away.  Brings back memories, though&#8230; that was my very first kit of Ludwigs.  They were [...]]]></description>

As most readers know, Mike Simpson and Larry &#8220;Wide Stance&#8221; Craig voted in favor of this abomination.  Luckily we now have an alternative to Mike Simpson in the congressional race.  I&#8217;m talking about Write-In Candidate Gregory Nemitz.  [...]]]></description>
