Just a little rant here.
I read a post up on the Wide Island and it got me thinking about something that has been in and out of thought for a few months now.
We don't hear "Thank You" too much any more, at least not in Ohio.
I know it sounds so basic, but it should be an automagic response when your doing business. For instance my local Whole Foods has a great store, clean, well laid out, super friendly people but the one basic thing you don't hear much of is a simple thank you.
Contrast by the Chick-fil-a's in town is a night and day difference in attitude. They welcome you when you enter, are very polite in service and always say thank you when you pay.
If you think about this economy and how badly all business need to not only get new customers but keep their old ones, how much an earnest and simple thank you can go.
The companies, which have for years been in partnership in corporate computer systems development and personal computer business, aim to establish a platform for the new business soon.
I don't know how the average Japanese windblows user feels but over here we trust Microsoft with our data as much as we trust the government to tell the truth.
Good luck.
Tried to get my podcast listening caught up after not listening for a couple days.

Also took my daughter out to see my mother take her first hot air balloon ride.
Funny when my dad "Mr. Human Map" gets lost chasing the balloon. *chuckle*
So it seems world leaders, actors and socialites who berate the common man for causing "global warming" find it acceptable to cause it themselves so they can fly to the world cup finals and destroy any semblance of order in the airport. Kudos two faced asshats, we already knew you were full of s*** thanks for proving it once again.
Just finished watching Pioneer One, a new TV series that is internet only. Free to download and watch, give it a shot. You might like it.
Basically it is a sci-fi drama that is very low budget, but surprisingly good.
It would be better if they had more props but I have to say it's good for the little money they made it with.
