After that I read this. Dealers of lightning by Michael A. Hiltzik. You could almost have another book that would span the time between those 2 books.

Why no looks at that system today??

Grow and pick food crops...

Could this be a prelude to a government bail-out when it all goes POP ???

Yeah here comes the boom, just like the dotcom crash, almost identical, BUT much bigger, more fallout, so bad.

I'm REALLY happy with my Samsung S90D 65" TV 1,400$ delivered by Costco. Funny that the LG made OLED/Quantum Dot panel used by Sony and Samsung is not used anywhere else??? not by LG.

Got them from Costco, installed them myself on second floor planter boxes.

I loved our Olds Super 88 Holiday, monster 4 barrel carb and 4 speed automatic. At 70 mph you floor it and it shifts into "passing gear" and you hear those 2 large barrels sucking air as it plants you deep into the seats. :) It's even more impressive if you consider how much it weighs.

I cannot log into my Home Depot account anymore, not even if I switch to Safari. I tried by turning off my privacy apps and still not able to sign in. Not gonna install Chrome, no way. Time to kill the HD credit card.

Forgot to mention, the Montgomery Ward microwave we got in 1963 just died. Cost 400$ in those days. The new LG is much bigger, more powerful, uses less energy, huge dish rotates, we love it. My inflation calculator says that the 400$ price is now $4,245.75. Out the door at Home Depot for 2K $ the LG is actually 1/2 price. :)

Got my Meile S312, the red one, on 06/22/1999. After repairs I did myself, it still works well. At 759.44$ not cheap, but my friend has been thru 5 or 6 vacuums since then. His most recent one broke last week. :)

Firefox 115.29.0esr , DuckDuckGo privacy Essentials , Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, Port Authority . :) Works for me

Love their batteries. Used Durascells for long time now they start leaking years before the date code. I was taking everything using these batts apart inspecting for leakage 3 tomes a year. Then noticed that anything I get that comes with AA or AAA batteries never leak. Just looking at the construction shows marked differences. I get the Panasonic platinum power batteries from Home Depot almost as cheap as Coppertops from Costco. :)

I am fine with Firefox 115.25.0esr (64-bit) . Duckduckgo privacy, port authority, privacy badger, uBlock Orgin, as addons. I clear history and clear data after closing each web page.

I dislike the upper management of WF. But I really like the people in my local branch. I do not use the ATM, the tellers call me by name and I got a really big safe deposit box added, now have 2 at a large discount. Swap one of the two 8T Seagate Ironwolf Pros every 2 or 3 weeks. No off site back-up means really no back-up. Am very happy with my local branch, not looking to switch. YMMV :)
