You know you're getting too excited about technology when....
Well, in my case, when...you spend more time emailing tech support than your mother.
But here's some more ideas from the .

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TECHNOLOGY BUT THIS NEWS IS INTERESTING!
There was one story that made news in FOX News Channel [in Hannity and Colmes]. There is the case of a 16 years old Virginia Teenager who is suffering from a form of blood cancer. He received chemotherapy treatment that almost killed him.
He went with his parents for alternative therapies and responded well.
Now Virginia has threatened to take the teenager from his parents and has prohibited the teenager and his family from leaving Virginia unless he allows himself to receive court ordered chemotherapy. This is another example of the system going wrong.
Another News has been that Congress is thinking of tampering with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Dear Dan,
Anyone who lives in Israel as I do or in an Arabic speaking country can easily confirm what was said to Zinedine Zidane that made him so wild. The clues are in that references were made to his Mother and Sister. There two very revolting swears or curses that are used in this region, that curse the genitalia of ones Mother or Sister. Implying that the place from where we all emerge from should be cursed. There is also a similar curse in Russian regarding ones Mother that is widely used here in Israel.
I listen to World update nearly every day at lunch time, and find it the best news programme on the World Service.
Regards,
Leon.
