Note: <888> 11/22/10 Monday 2:05 A.M.  I went out after the last note.  I drove all of the way over to Walgreen's www.walgreens.com in Old Greenwich on East Putnam Avenue.  I bought four 40 bag packages of Lipton green tea bags for $2.50 each box for $10 total.  I then bought four Automatic 9 ounce bowl fresh blue toilet bowl tank jars for $1.99 each, two .5 ounce tubes of Neosporin for $6.49 each tube, and four Walgreen's 1.75 inch by 3 inch Watershield Water-Resistant Adhesive Bandages 10 count for $3.19 each box less $3.20 for the fourth box and $1.05 tax for $31.55 total.  The pharmacist suggested the Neosporin.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Emergency room, and the receptionist told me the Neosporin should fix the problem with the sore in the palm of my right hand.  They have valet parking there.  I did not check in at the Emergency room, so there was no charge.   I was also told to get the water proof bandages by the friend that I chatted with before I left.  I then went downtown, and I sat out for a while.  I walked over the running track behind the Greenwich Town Hall, and the two green port-o-pottie toilets are now gone, so they are not available at night.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the Thataway restaurant and bar.  The new Greenwich Pharmacy across the street from CVS is now opened.  There is another new shop going in just south of it.  It was a quiet early morning walk.  There are a few Christmas decorations out in some of the shops.  They have not turned on any lights on the trees on Greenwich Avenue, but only a few merchants do that now.   The lights on the tree on the north side of the veterans monument were working about a month ago, so possibly they might plug them into the light post next to it, when they think they should be lighted up.  All three lights on the lanterns in front of the Greenwich Post Office are working, which I have never seen all three working before.   I put the red rose back up on the veterans monument.  When I returned home, I noticed the new www.chase.com construction site just west of the Greenwich Library where the Exxon station use to be is now just a vacant dirt lot without any construction fence around it.  It could be handy for a helicopter landing pad.   I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.  I rubbed a dab of Neosporin on the sore on my right hand palm, and I put one of the water proof bandages over it.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/21/10 Sunday 10:25 P.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  When I shampoo now, I am putting the shampoo in my left hand palm instead of my right hand palm, so as not to irritate the sore in my right hand palm.

I will now go to Walgreen's in Old Greenwich to get some Aloe cream for my right hand palm.  I guess I will also get some blue toilet tank jars and some Lipton green tea bag.  I might stop by CVS while I am over there.  I will now shut down the primary Windows 7 computer.  CIO   

Note: <888> 11/21/10 Sunday 9:05 P.M.  I woke up at 6:15 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 8:30 P.M., when I chatted with a relative.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/21/10 Sunday 8:45 A.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown, and I sat out for a while.  I put the red rose that somebody left on Veterans' Day back on the Veterans monument.  It look like the wind had blown it off.  I stopped by Zen stationary and Starbucks, but I was too tired to walk.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a four pack of day old muffins for $2,  a six pack of Bulkie rolls for $3.49, two 12 ounce Heinz Home-style roasted turkey gravy for $1.25 each, a six ounce box of Near East Long Grain and Wild rice mix for $2.75, two 16 ounce cans of Ocean Spray whole cranberry sauce for $1 each, a 48 ounce box of Quaker Old Fashioned oats for $4.99,  two 6 ounce Stove Top turkey stuffing $1.50 each, a Butterball uncooked turkey breast for $2.79 a pound for $11.49, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, fresh Chiquita bananas for .69 a pound for $1.66, broccoli crowns for $1.99 a pound for $2.43, two Louisiana golden yams for .50 a pound for .87 for $40.17 total.  I then put my groceries in the Audi, but I forgot something.  I then went back in the Stop and Shop, and I bought two 8 ounce frozen Kraft Cool whip topping for $1 each and two 26 ounce Mrs. Smith's frozen pumpkin pies for $1.99 each for $5.98 total.  I then returned home, and I carried up my groceries, and I put them away.  I used my $20 Greenwich Department of Social Service voucher for part of the purchase.  Thus I am all stocked up for my Thanksgiving Day meal, but I still have to cook it this Thursday.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/21/10 Sunday 1:10 A.M.  I put away the laundry.  Recently I have been on a lower calorie or smaller diet, so I do not have enough energy to walk around downtown at night plus I am getting older.  On a limited budget, I think it is best to just keep busy at home at night.  There are plenty of unemployed younger people whom can keep an eye on activity downtown.  One does not find much money on the sidewalks on Greenwich Avenue.  It works out to about a dollar a year.  CIO

I chatted with a relative.  I watched the two different programs on NBC about Prince Charles and the Earth's Environment.  In showing pictures of his office, I noticed he did not seem to have a computer in his office, so possibly in trying to save the environment, he is not going high tech.  I have tried to be energy conscious in my routines by driving downtown fewer times each week.  I also do not use as much heat in the winter, I let the energy saving light bulbs and computers put out a bit of extra heat in the apartment until it gets colder, when one has to use the electric heat.

Paul Getty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .  When I use to drive into Manhattan between October 1973 and April 1975, I use to park on Mitchell Place just south of Beekman Place where John D. Rockefeller III had an apartment at 1 Beekman Place along with the British Consulate to the www.un.org .  Towards the end of that period in Manhattan, they changed the parking zone to Diplomatic Parking for Diplomats, so I no longer had a convenient place to park my mother's 1973 copper brown Chevrolet Monte Carlo or my 1971 blue Volvo sedan.  It was convenient to Fred's http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm who was working as an interior decorator for the wealthy in Manhattan.  Of course shortly after I started parking there in October 1973, we had the Arab Energy Embargo, so it was hard to find gasoline in the New York City area.  I was told by George H. W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 's private pilot who lives nearby in Byram about 20 years ago that all of the oil back then was in tankers in the New York City harbor, and somebody ordered it not to be off loaded from the tankers.

If you ever quit watching television in the United States of America, there is not really as much going on as you think considering the size of the country and how little news the news media actually covers.  I guess a lot of women still watch television in the daytime which is why so many women are on television in the daytime.  I guess the men are busy with the internet or what ever keeps them busy.  Basically in the communications business, one has to remember that every area has their own particular focus based on what the local people think is important.  In the case of Greenwich Avenue versus the rest of Greenwich, there are a great many private people whom live in the larger more rural sections of Greenwich, and a great many of them pay a lot of money in taxes, and they tend to expect their privacy to be maintained.  If the wealthier people have to pay more money for security, they will have less money for the various charities they also support.  CIO

I cancelled the order for two Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Family Pack/ Home Premium Upgrade - Retail 3 PCs for $129.99 each with free shipping for $259.98 total.  Yesterday, when I chatted with 1-800-RU-LEGIT , they told me that all the software pirates wanted was my money.  I am beginning to think much is the same with Microsoft.  I might want to do something else during the holidays like drive up to New Canaan, Connecticut and see what I see on the rebound.  However, that might be too expensive.  I really cancelled the Windows 7 Family pack, because I really can not afford it, even if I charged it and paid it off over time.  So if and when the current product keys expire, I will just use Windows XP and Vista that I have plenty of valid product keys for.

Note: <888> 11/16/10 Tuesday 12:45 P.M.  I will now shut down the primary Windows 7 computer.  After I shower and clean up, I will go downtown and see if there are any cigarette smokers interested in computers running the Microsoft operating system which does not seem to be the case around here anymore with all of the Apple Ipad www.apple.com users that seem to be in the area.  Maybe www.microsoft.com should buy the Greenwich Post Office and open up a show room there to get more exposure around www.ibm.com .  I think www.ibm.com is still more user friendly towards Linux www.ubuntu.com , so I guess IBM does not have the money to buy the Microsoft operating systems, and we all know they had to sell their personal computer division to www.lenovo.com , so they really are not even in the personal computer business anymore except for the older models mostly refurbished at are still in the after market distribution network.  CIO  

Note: <888> 11/16/10 Tuesday 12:25 P.M.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.   I washed the breakfast dishes.

I chatted with 1-800-RU-LEGIT Protect Yourself from Piracy , and they told me I should get my money back from Windows 7 Key | Office 2010 Key | Windows Server Key - Key Kingdom .  I called up the www.chase.com dispute hotline at 1-866-564-2262 , and they refunded me the $126 that I paid for the invalid MSDN software license keys.  Thus now as the Windows 7 product keys expire on my various desktop computers, I will have to install Windows XP Professional which will take some time, so I will do it as it happens, and there is no rush.  I am beginning to think with all of the expenses and hassles of maintaining extra computers that nobody uses in my backup office, I would be better off "Taking up underwater basket weaving".  I am 60 years old, and I am beginning to feel my age, and I wear out more easily.  However, it is easier to maintain computers today than it was 10 or 20 years ago, but I am older and slower.  I am also thinking that it might be important to do some "HOUSE CLEANING" around my apartment instead of all of the computer maintenance.  What we need is BROOM HILDA to show up in Greenwich and to put some order back into this town instead of the Wicked Witch of the West.

I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/15/10 Monday 7:10 A.M.  I used to try to sell these Navistar Defense in this area, but nobody was interested in them.

If you had a lot of money, you could probably buy a civilian version of this Navistar Defense VALANX JLTV painted black or blue or grey or even white for winter use or red for emergency or British Racing Green, but it might not go too fast with all of the weight.

When I get the new IBM ThinkCentre, I could take out the existing 400 or 500 gb. SATA hard drive, and put in my spare 500 gb.  SATA hard drive and restore the backup I have of the other IBM ThinkCentre and change the software product keys to the spare one that I have.  That would save a couple of days of time.  I would not want to overwrite the new XP Professional hard drive that comes with it, since I would erase the XP Professional Emergency restore partition, which is important if I ever had to use XP Professional on it.

I will now shut down the primary Windows 7 computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Note: <888> 11/15/10 Monday 4:40 A.M.  I ate three scrambled eggs and four strips of fried thick bacon and a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch and a cup of green tea with splenda sweetener and lemon juice.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/15/10 Monday 2:45 A.M.  I ran a cleaning cycle on the EpsonStylus Color C120 printer, and it seems to be running fine to print out my Christmas card envelopes in a few weeks.  Currently both of my servers are not working.  I am working on fixing the FIC server and I can not do anything about the remote server in British Columbia.  People must be really bored if they are hacking my servers which only get about a half dozen hits a week.  However, there are a lot of idiots in this world, so more than likely the internet has more than share of idiots.  I am not the complaint department for Scott toilet paper, so if you are having problems with Scott toilet paper do not blame me.  Perhaps when the rich visitors went back down south after the hurricane season, another group of people from elsewhere showed up to forage in this area before it gets cold.  I do not think they came here to pick apples.  We get people from around the world, but once it gets cold, we tend to have only mostly northerly people here, and it tends to get more peaceful.  There is plenty of time for rest on the cold winter days, when people are stuck inside after a snow storm.  New York City is suppose to have a social season in the fall and Christmas time, but with a major recession going on in the area, there is probably not that much happening around there.  I have noticed a lot more older used cars in this area compared to all of the new imported cars that I used to see.  Perhaps residents from other neighboring communities are trying to get lucky in Greenwich, Connecticut which advertises itself too much.  Actually New Canaan, Connecticut is a wealthier community, and it has fewer poor people, but it is also colder there in the winter.

Of course down south, we know a lot of the more established people drink too much alcohol, so possibly they live in Hollywood dream trips based on what they know about up north, and they are still waiting to see Bing Crosby in Christmas in Connecticut.  It is really not like that here anymore at Christmas time, since recently we have not had much snow in Connecticut in December. With La Nina going on, we might even have a warmer winter, which I hope happens.  However, for people whom have lived down south for longer periods of time, their blood tends to thin out, and they may actually feel colder in the local 50 degree Fahrenheit weather here compared to the temperatures of winter around here.  Of course some people like winter weather, so possibly people from the southern hemisphere visit here, when it is summer in the southern hemisphere.

Basically New York City might be good for business, but there is not really too much there for tourists anymore considering the cost of travel and staying there.  Of course some people just like to get away, so having travel fever; they will go anywhere that catches their imagination.  Since I have my own computer setup http://mikelouisscott.com/computer.htm , I can always keep busy at home, and I do not need to waste my time downtown, when nobody is around.  I have good enough communications, if someone needs to communicate.  It seems to me, some people just like hanging out here, since it is a safer area than possibly where they live elsewhere.  Whatever, the case the local tax payers pay for the services the town of Greenwich, Connecticut provides, so they have their own viewpoint versus what other from elsewhere might think.

The FIC server is now working.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/15/10 Monday 12:25 A.M.  I woke up at 4 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 6 P.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.  I put out the little artificial Christmas tree on the Chinese teak stand on the lazy Susan on the living room window shelf to the left behind the Ethan Allen recliner.  It turns on with the new IBM ThinkCentre control panel switch.  I do not leave the lights on very much, since although I have spare Christmas tree lights, it is a pain to remove the ornaments and string new lights on the Christmas tree.  I put the artificial Christmas wreath with the CVS ornaments on the outside of the front door.  I put the little green burlap Christmas wreath on the candlestick on the center of the oak dining table.  I put a few small candles around the base of the Christmas tree.  Basically around here, since we do not have much to do, we put out the Christmas ornaments before Thanksgiving time.  Thus we have a much longer holiday season.  I chatted with two relatives.  One relative invited me down to Texas at Christmas time, but I am afraid to fly on airplanes.  I cleaned the Ionic Pro air purifier.  I ate a turkey and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with a dill pickle slice and 1/4th of a 5.3 ounce tube of Pringles salt and vinegar potato chips and a glass of watered down punch.  I now have the power for the Linksys wireless router connected to the new IBM ThinkCentre control panel, but I never use the wireless, since it seems people hack my systems, when I turn it on.  However, it is still available.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I need to get some new Walgreen's blue toilet cleaner jars, but it is not worth spending $5 in gasoline to drive all of the way over to Old Greenwich for $4 in toilet jars.

If one has speakers on their computers, one can use this web site to send Morse Code - SOS through any microphone or headset that one might have.  However, I do not think many people know Morse code anymore.  Maybe they have software to decrypt Morse code back into English.  I hear a lot of it on my shortwave radio, so people do still use it.

Note: <888> 11/14/10 Sunday 12:15 A.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks midway through my walk.  It was really slow downtown.  It was basically as dead as door nails.  I did not drive way down south to the pier on Steamboat Road, because it is too costly, and more than likely the fishermen from down there are some place down south.  Quite frankly I could care less if the lights are on out on Long Island too.  Long Island thinks it rules the world, and they are basically just a bunch of prisoners on the Scott's old potato farm.  It is way too crowded out there for me.  However, because it is surrounded by water, it tends to be warmer in the winter.  I never go out there, because there is too much traffic driving through the New York City area to get there.  After my walk, I went by the Courtesy Mobil gasoline station at 623 West Putnam Avenue which is opened 24 hours a day seven days a week.  They have a mini Duncan Donuts coffee bar there.  I bought $6 of self service premium gasoline for $3.399 a gallon for 1.764 gallons for 21.5 miles driving in the last eight days at odometer reading of 68018 miles for 12.188 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic this past week.  I never drive over to the eastern part of Greenwich, because it is at least $5 in gasoline to drive all that way.  I cleaned the outside windows on the Audi.  I returned home.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I called up the Greenwich Housing Authority at 1-203-869-1138 to report the vacant apartment downstairs has its window wide open, which I would imagine would be cold for the neighboring apartments.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/10 Saturday 9:40 P.M.  I put away the laundry.  I found seven discarded wooden hangers in the laundry room that I retrieved.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate a turkey and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with a dill pickle slice and 1/4th of a 5.3 ounce tube of Pringles salt and vinegar potato chips and a glass of watered down punch.  I will now shut down the primary Windows 7 computer, and I will go out for a walk.  I will see if the Indians left any wooden nickels around.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/10 Saturday 6:05 A.M.  If there are any starving Europeans around, they could always think of investing in the King Ranch .

I am not starving yet, but we still have over a month until winter starts.

I have relatives in Texas, whom once mentioned that they might stop by in this area at Christmas Time, but I guess they turned Jewish, and they never showed up to visit after all of these years.  For many years, I use to get my apartment ready for guests at Christmas Time, but nobody ever showed up in our colder weather to visit.  I guess they prefer to linger at our Country Clubs during the summer months.

With the Samsung Color laser printer on the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance, I do not really have room to put the little two foot artificial tree Christmas tree there, unless I put it on top of the Samsung Color laser printer.  However, I have to use it a few weeks before Christmas to print out my Christmas letters.  I guess I could put the Christmas Tree on the Lazy Susan on the Window Shelf in the living room, and move the pedestal fan from there to the far right of the window shelf behind the Sony television. 

Back in the good old days in south Florida, I use to see a few people from Texas, but they never paid much attention to me, because I smoked Marlboros back then, and I guess the Texans smoke other stuff.

I was never invited to eat any of the many barbecues I saw going on in south Florida while I was starving down there, thus I am not too keen on offering northern hospitality to starving southern people.  If they do not have money to travel, they really should not come up here, since most of the food seems to come from down south.

Note: <888> 11/13/10 Saturday 5:15 A.M.  I watched a little bit of television and part of the beginning of the movie "Paris, Texas", which did not seem too interesting.  I ate a 18 ounce can of Progresso pot roast soup and a hard roll with Smart Balance Spread and a glass of watered down punch.  I guess since I am one of the poorest people in this area, I must be the head of the local Communist Party.  Thus from my viewpoint, since China is now a wealthy Communist country, I must have a lot of wealthy friends in Greenwich, China.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/12/10 Friday 11:35 P.M.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I was able to get the new Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key from http://www.windowskeycity.net/ to Validate.  When I went to "Resolve It" button, and went to the Validate Web Page, !!!! when one installs the Validate Addin, !!!! One has to select to install it on All Web Sites, and Not just the current Web Site.  The Validation Process then worked properly, and Windows 7 Ultimate is working on the bedroom Abit computer again.  Not that I ever use it.  I still worry that Microsoft might hit me with "Non Genuine" for Windows 7 Ultimate sometime in the future, since it is a Microsoft MSDN product key.  CIO

I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I chatted with a relative.

I received the product keys that I ordered.  However, when I tried to use one on the Abit Windows 7 Ultimate computer, I received the alert that it was not Genuine.  I called up at Genuine Advantage Solution Center , I called up the Windows 7 number at 1-866-530-6364, and they told me the product keys were Microsoft MSDN product keys, and they would not work.  They then tried to sell me a $300 copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I emailed Windows 7 Key | Office 2010 Key | Windows Server Key - Key Kingdom , and they emailed me back

"

How to resolve difficulties:

If you are facing the bug not tells you not your windows product is not genuine, don't worry, just click the "go online and resolve it" button, everything will be fine. If it still not work, means your windows is not up to date or had been attacked previously, try to reinstall the windows, then enter the key.

"

which does not work on a clean install.  It would seem Microsoft is using the web site for "Bait and Switch" trying to get people to buy a cheaper product key, and then when it becomes "non Genuine", they try to sell one the full retail version.

I chatted with a friend.  Once the Non Genuine problem happens on the other Windows 7 Ultimate computers, I have an option.  I still have Vista Ultimate on the primary computer on the primary partition.  I have Vista Ultimate on the FIC server.  I have a good copy one time install of Windows 7 on the IBM ThinkCentre which should stay good.  The new IBM ThinkCentre comes with Windows XP Professional.  I still have two unused copies of Windows XP Professional that are suppose to be good for two computers each.  I also have a unused copy of XP Home and a unused copy of Vista Home.  Thus as the Windows 7 computers become non functional with "non genuine" I can install the older operating systems.  I really did not have much to do this coming winter anyway.  As far as I know, one can not install a Product Key for Windows XP Professional, so one has to do a new install.  Also I deleted all of my backups for Windows XP Professional and Vista except for the primary computer Vista partition and the FIC server Vista partition.  I guess that is how Microsoft makes money off poor people.  I can cancel the charge of $126 for the bogus software, once it has cleared.  CIO

I tried using it on the Abit computer in the bedroom, but when I started Windows 7 product activation came up, so I put the Microsoft wireless 4000 keyboard and mouse back on the Abit computer, and I restored the backup.  Now product activation does not come up.  I am now installing the Windows Updates on it.  It seems rather strange that changing a mouse and keyboard would bring up Windows 7 Ultimate Product Activation.  I will use the Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard on the new IBM ThinkCentre.  I have a new unused Microsoft Wireless 6000 keyboard and mouse set, but I want to save that for my primary computer, in case the same system malfunctions.  I think I have a one or two year warranty from Staples on the current 6000 system.  CIO

Partly cloudy today and 54 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

I will eat a three day old Danish pastry before going to bed.  CIO 

Note: <888> 11/10/10 Wednesday 3:55 A.M.  The new IBM ThinkCentre is being shipped by U.S. Mail economy shipping from Columbia Township, Lorain County, Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , so it might take a week to 10 days for it to arrive.  Thus there is no rush to order additional parts for it at the moment.

On the left side of the oak dining table, I can move the bass speaker off the oak dining table and put it beneath the table, then there would be room to set the IBM ThinkCentre to be set further back on the table with the 19 inch Compaq LCD monitor on top of it, and the Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse in front of the IBM ThinkCentre, which would be a workable setup.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/10/10 Wednesday 3:30 A.M.  I have this USB Ethernet adapter which is mispriced Viewcon Ve091 Usb 1.1 To 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter and should be about $8 Viewcon VE091 USB 1.1 to 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter Viewcon VE091, and here are the drivers for it Realtek RTL8150L drivers and similar USB 2.0 devices are available here USB to RJ45 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter - Meritline.com .  However the one that I have is only USB 1.0, and I think one would want a USB 2.0 device.  There is no rush on it though.  I do not like using the motherboard LAN, Audio, or Video to keep it from wearing out.

Also I will need this Buy.com - Siig SoundWave 5.1 PCI, but I will wait until after I received the new IBM ThinkCentre and when I have more funds.  As I recall I have a spare headsets and web cameras coming.  However, there is no rush at the moment.  I do not have an extra keyboard drawer though, so one would have to work with the wireless keyboard on one's lap.  Quite frankly besides computer systems improvements, I might want to do something else occasionally.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/10/10 Wednesday 2:40 A.M.  I have this video card *NEW* MSI ATI 128MB X600 Pro PCI-E Express x16 DVI VGA which might work with the new IBM ThinkCentre PCI Express x1 slot, but although the slots seem to be same for the x1 as the x16, I am not sure about compatibility.  Also it is full height, and I am not sure if I need half height, but it runs side ways, so it might be full height.  CIO 

Note: <888> 11/10/10 Wednesday 1:55 A.M.  I will move the Samsung Color laser printer from the far side of the oak dining table to on top of the bookcase at the kitchen entrance.  I will move the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer from the left side of the oak dining table to the far side of the oak dining table without the monitor and the speakers.  I will set up the new IBM ThinkCentre on the left side of the oak dining table with the monitor and speakers that are there.  I can use the second control panel that is on the right side of the FIC server for the new IBM ThinkCentre.  I have a new Microsoft Wireless 6000 keyboard and mouse I can use with it.  I have a spare copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2007 that I can put on it, if I don't want to use XP Professional.  Since it is a new item, it probably has the XP Professional restore partition installed on its hard drive.  Yes, my apartment is looking more like a computer laboratory versus an elderly man's retirement apartment.  If I need any other parts such as a LAN card or a video card or audio card that will have to wait until I have more funds.

Note: <888> 11/04/10 Thursday 11:55 P.M.  Greenwich, Connecticut's most famous resident His Highness the Aga Khan's 73rd Birthday - Mowlana Hazar Imam's 73rd Birthday - December 13, 2009 .  I was wandering, since he is a religious figure, if he gets a tax deduction on his various properties.  Since his grandfather was the World's wealthiest person, and since they first moved here in 1922, the probably own a lot of property around here.  However, when one searches Google, not much comes up on him.  He is suppose to have 600 homes around the world.  His biggest house is suppose to be a palace in New Deli, India.  He also has a 600 room villa on the Isle of Capri.  He has the villa in Geneva where Ronald Reagan and Gobachav held their peace conference.  He is legally a Swiss citizen with a medical degree from www.harvard.edu .  He was raised in Kenya.  He is currently going through a billion dollar divorce from his second wife a younger German rock star.  He used his house here in Greenwich, Connecticut, when he was the high commissioner for refugees at the www.un.org .  At the time he had two sons and a daughter attending Yale, Williams, and Radcliff.  At his age, he seem to avoid publicity.  A friend of mine had an introduction to him when he was a student in this area, and he rode in the Aga Khan's rolls royce, when he visited at another home on Central Park West.  More than likely since a lot of older people look the same, nobody recognizes him anymore.  Since he comes from an old wealthy family, he probably has a lot of relatives he has to support, so his money does not go that far anymore.
