True. I think XP is the best though. All hospitals and big companies still work with it over here. We would have worked with Win7 at work when the company changed ownership but they kept XP, works for me:)

According to Microsoft XP sp3 support is ending on April 8th, 2014, will that change? I don't know.

We migrated pretty much the entire school district over to 7 during the summer. They would have stayed with XP if support weren't ending.



Wonder what they'll do over here. Haven't heard anything about it yet... Maybe I should mail that link to IT but then again, they probably know about it...

[edit]did it anyway...

"Okay, people. We've finally made a product that a lot of people like, and a lot of people are using it. People like XP and they're staying with it. That's great. But it's not making us any money. People like it so much that they're not upgrading to our newer software. We just can't have that! We'll go broke! So, effective [date] we will no longer provide support for XP. That'll get 'em upgrading! Thanks for all your great work."

The Hotel K have two in their garden. Never heard a word about them being knocked over. I think you should take the hint and feed them some Kibble.

Another raccoon video at my house. More chihuahua than
raccoon, but she's in there.

Though in the desert there are less bats and insects than this...

Near sunset We have something I think Angela might not have, BATS, they eat insects and if the climate were good enough to grow bananas, they pollinate bananas, mangos and peaches according to this site here.

When we think about pollination, it is typically the birds and the bees that come to mind. Most people have no clue that the bat also places a huge role in that process. This takes place on a very large scale around the world. Some areas do depend on the pollination of bats more than others. They include Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.

Bats help with the pollination of many types of fruit in the world. This includes bananas, mangos, and peaches. It is believed that over 500 different types of tropical plants are pollinated successfully every single year through the bats role. The fact that the bats can fly quite a distance before they drop seeds also helps to keep areas of growth highly diversified.

Bats tend to like flowers that don’t give off strong scents or offer bright colors. This is the opposite of what attracts bees. These types of flowers that the bats like also seem to have lots of nectar offered in them. Many experts believe that the birds and bees take the day shift and the bats take the night shift. Everything that we know about pollination in the day time occurs at night with the bats.
