The second one was (I think) contained in the first. it is contained in it, which is why it's a tl;dr. In any case, my question was directed to the hardware of the 5k, which screen was not mentioned specifically that I could see. the hardware makes no difference. what matters are the results. |

As usual, your thinking is stopping at the boundary of the box: you are not interested in what is inside it. My question is about what is inside the box and how it works. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

My question is about what is inside the box and how it works. it's called *software*. |

Nice! A new car is another thing I have thought of, and can’t quite pull the trigger on. My E350 has 46K trouble free miles on the clock. When I was working I ran up 180K-220K before trading for new. My biological clock is running a little behind you, and your friend with me at 68+. So, by this time next year my mortgage will be paid off, and I will have a little extra spending power, then we shall see what develops. -- Regards, Savageduck |

He's "running out of time" - period! A lot of folk die BEFORE they get to be 80 years of age. I lost another one of my boater friends just yesterday after a year long battle with cancer. I don't NEED a new iMac ..... but I'll get one after this year's boating season! ;-) -- Regards, David B. |

I figure that since more people die before they reach 80, than between 80 and 100, statistically, my chances of reaching 100 are pretty good. Since the bucket in my list has sprung a leak, I plan to see how many items in there I will use as many as I can. -- PeterN |
