ISP Question — Net Zero or People PC?

Hey Guys,

My Mom would like an inexpensive ISP for retrieving e-mails. She has asked about PeoplePC and Net Zero — Anybody have any comments or information that they can give me? Or even a better solution…!

Thanks,

P.S. I wish I could give you all 10 points – but I promise to review all the answers and give the points promptly!

 

What Task/Job could you do Better than Anyone, if given the chance?

We’ve all said, “If I had the chance I could do a better job than they are, I could do it better than anyone!”

Well, now’s your chance! (Well at least to tell people about it) — What could you do better than enyone else? It doesn’t have to be a job, it can be a task, a performance, a trick, a story or novel, an invention, a joke, anything!

Think about it ! Impress the world (Or at least those of us here on Yahoo!).

-Sorry about the category, it was the best fit I could find-

Hey JPR,

I am pretty sure that I could do a comic book better than a lot of others. Either that or I would like to be the person that sits in a jury box and pulls the lever to give ’em juice! (I know, they don’t give them juice in the jury box… but please follow the analogy!)

Why do so few people use Spell Check?

I am surprised by how few people refuse to use the spell check option in Yahoo Answers. It takes just a second. I think that it is just rude! Any thoughts or ideas?

 

IS HE GUILTY? In Florida, a man was robbed of $15.00; He kills the robber, is he guilty of manslaughter?

In Court right now, A restaurant owner is held up while in his car. The robber points a gun to his head (later, a pellet gun) and demands money. The owner has $2,015 (but is able to hide $2,000) — the robber takes him inside restaurant but owner is able to lock robber out. Robber runs away. Owner calls 911, but then gets in car and tracks robber down 4 blocks away. He runs robber over and kills him.

TWO PART:

(A) Is he guilty of manslaughter?

(B) Would you do the same thing or something else?

 

The Decade – What Has Society Done Lately?

A Supreme Being has come to the Earth in an effort to destroy it. In all this Beings infinite wisdom, it has allowed us to defend our existence in this Universe. It points out the good we have done early in our history, but the Being adds, “So what have you done – lately?” Ok Defense Team…. What do I tell the Being that we have done to further good in the world during the last 10 years in an effort to save our World?

I’m requesting a data dump of James’ content to share here.  Some of the quotes featured came from Yahoo Answers, so losing James’ wisdom from the past would be heartbreaking.

In the Mood ?

I thought that you might like this one:
A guy is meeting his friends at a local bar…
After he sits down, one of his friends asks how his rocky relationship with his wife is going…
He responds that “Things are much better…
“I got my wife one of those new Mood Rings”
“When she is in a Good Mood – The ring is a Bright Blue !”
“When she is in a Bad Mood – The ring leaves a Large Red Mark on my Forehead…!”
I thought that you might enjoy that one…
Talk to you later!

Happy Birthday James!

So Hello “Old Man”

I kinda remember that today would be your birthday – – –

So you are like 30 now – huh?

Now you’ve officially become “older”, welcome to “my” world!

Happy Birthday!  I hope it’s the BEST ever!  If I can buy you a drink – let me know!

With Great Love!

James

p.s. – yeah, I’m pretty sure that you are older – but I won’t commit that to paper 😉

Two Years Later…

It’s hard to believe that we lost James two years ago.  It seems like yesterday.

I’ll let James send everyone a message [excerpt from a personal note of his] –

“…I know that you miss me and I love you so much back… :-D”

Happy 52nd Birthday James!

On behalf of everyone on Facebook and in their hearts, from James –

“It’s the law!

Thank you for your Birthday Wishes…

You are Too Sweet!

James/Jim Robinson”

St. Patrick’s Day

Hope you had a good one, James.

From James, Nov. 28th, 2008 –

“Good Afternoon,

I recently had a chance to meet Darren Hayes, he used to be the lead singer with a group called “Savage Garden” and was in San Diego to book a release party for an up-coming album. I heard this song once, but after talking with him and him explaining the reason for the song – I hope that WE ALL take this song to heart – Its sheer beauty is notwithstanding the message!  I love you all!

Affirmation!

These are the words…

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you
I believe your parent did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I’m loved when I’m completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

p.s., Yes, I am aware that he’s a big “Guy Like Me…”  Why do you think we talked…?  He’s a nice guy, but a bit of a flamer- That being said, I love his voice and wish we could work as his agent here in San Diego!”

Merry Christmas!

I just love this!

Happy Fourth of July, James!

From an email that James had sent out –

“The ‘Anthem’, if you will, for SLS [Silver Lute Singers], was:

My heart is offered still you
Full now of love and deep despairing.
Be Not to constancy untrue!

Say one farewell my love not withstanding (?)  I’m not sure of the last verse!

With great love!

Jim/James Robinson”

Please remember James on the Fourth of July while you watch the fireworks.  It was always his favorite.

 

What should be the real policy of life?

I am not a great philosopher, but I am really stuck on:

Live

and

Let Live!

Can’t get much simpler than that.
