Hi Lu, My name is Jenny and I have no clue about outspoken or most things about Macs but I just wanted to say that I think what you're doing is really great and I have so much respect and admiration for you. Thank you for what you do. If it weren't for my Dad, I wouldn't have my Mac Mini so I totally understand and appreciate the generosity of others.
You are a gift from GOD and my he bless your efforts. Jenny and my goofy guide Brooks On Nov 26, 2011, at 4:54 PM, Mr. L. Alexander wrote: > It's what ever I'm given sadly.
