On Saturdays I do a lot of Firefox; responding to about 20 Nigerian Brides so I can get more pics - checking out uTube for the latest Papadizzi - Save Papadizzi! - checking out the personals to see just who I might have snagged with my charm and wit - back to uTube to see who else has gone insane - dnloads galore that I forget why I got them in the first place about 4 hours later - checking out all the URLs mentioned in posts to here - -by then named has given out.
