Clean fuel and cash for me!
It’s nice to have a normally operating computer. I’ve reloaded most of what I need on my new but ancient PC. I’m running at a whopping 400 MHz but the difference before and after the reload is night and day. If I ever get a truly new PC (i.e. > 2.0 GHz) I’d probably wouldn’t know what to do with all the free time I would have. Then again, as IT guru for my Dad’s PC, I’m not looking forward to dealing with XP. Please share your thoughts on OS’s, I’m scared to move beyond Windows 2000. My experiences so far have all been negative.
I had an unusually slow day at work. Instead of discovering just how much money one could lose playing solitaire in Vegas, I instead delved into the world of E85. For those of you wondering what the heck I’m talking about, it stands for Ethanol 85%, gasoline 15%. This is the relatively unknown fuel source made from the fermenting of corn. Corn is of course the readily renewable resource that we currently pay some farmers not to grow. It burns much cleaner but costs about the same as gas (because of the whole conspiracy theory thing I'm sure…).
Did you know that since 2000, 3 million + cars are AFV capable? AFV means Alternative Fuel Vehicle. Ford Explorer’s are just about all AFV compliant among several other major manufacturers leading cars. Even late model cars can be retrofitted with a chip replacement assuming they are fuel injected.
Now I just need to find someone with a bunch of capital that wants to start the first public AFV E85 re-fueling station here in town. I think we could make some cash and even help the environment. I’m not your typical tree hugger but I wouldn’t mind making a buck or two and actually doing the environment some good.

Hey Fej,
First let me say I am absolutely biased towards Mac OSX. I use Win 2k at work and absolutely abhore (did I spell that right) the stupid thing. At home, and at my parents house, we have OSX. Works great and is almost bulletproof. Of course, you would have to buy a Mac.
Secondly, I am dang interested in alternative fuels. Specifically, Biodiesel. But it would be great to have even a ethanol-gas mix as well. I always say that if I win the Lotto, I would buy one of those new Jeep Liberty Diesels (provided they don't make a diesel Wrangler) and start a biodiesel company here in Las Cruces.
