    Visiting Texas

    Best place for High Island and Anahuac NWR is in Winnie, TX (on IH10, be sure and make reservations early as a ton of birders will be there in April or May), a short drive north with a wide selection of motels and resturants. Drive down is about 20 minutes to Anahuac and a little longer to High...

    Swift Warranty and Customer Service: Need Opinions

    I had a Swift scope that was about 3 years old, they discontinued it and refused me service on it. I'll never buy another Swift product.

    Anyone use Open Office instead of MS Office?

    No idea, it's been so long since I worked with a .doc file that if it paled in OO, I don't recall it. I just downloaded one and tried it, it didn't pale (I was using Lotus Symphony however, which may make a difference but shouldn't). Maybe if you download a different version of OO, it will...

    Anyone use Open Office instead of MS Office?

    I do, have for several years now. It's every bit as good as MS Office and a whale of lot less expensive. There is another program from IBM based on Open Office called Lotus Symphony which is just as good and also free (see: http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.jspa). Jaeger...

    Laser eye surgery

    The greatest thing that ever happened to me was a bad case of cataracts in my late 50's. I was down to 20-400 vision. I didn't have a lot of choice, I had to have something done or remain legally blind for the rest of my days. I had micro surgery (where they cut out the old natural lens and...

    Eagle Optics Scope

    I bought one for my wife a couple of years ago. She's very happy with it although the zoom is only good up til 30x for the most part. It is usable at higher magnifications, just not as good a view. I think it was well worth the relatively low price. Jaeger near Chicago
