I've been running it for a while now. Downloaded the ISO again straight from MS to test the download speeds. Couldn't get a legit key though. Waiting for the servers to come back up.

I found a download link, so it's coming in a 2.2MB/sec. I can't try it until tomorrow though. Going to load it up on a P4 3.0Ghz w/ 2GB of RAM and see what the deal is.

Economic predictions forecast a down year worldwide. But the numbers don't indicate that things will be all that bad. World GDP growth rate will be negative - but just a few tenths of one percentage point negative.

Economy 101

This is starting to get scary now. Unemployment is up, companies are continuing to cut, cut, cut and not spend.

Maybe it's not quite a depression but it appears to be getting worse.

Or is it just the media?

My grandfather used to tell me stories about 1929, and how life was. How he had to drop out of school at the time to do anything for $ to pay bills to food. After the crash, that generation saved, saved, saved. My Grandfather bought his first new car in 1976 at the age of 68.

A few years before he died, he was literally amazed that everyone around him had some sort of debt; not debt for a house, but mainly credit card debt. He didn't understand it.

I don't think it's the media. I think 2009 isn't going to be that hot of a year.

SO HOW will Illinois get rid of Governor Blagojevich

CHICAGO - Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today issued a Writ of Election designating Tuesday April 7, 2009, as the date for the Special Congressional Election for the Fifth District Seat which was formerly held by Rahm Emanuel, now President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff. The Governor also set Tuesday, March 3, 2009, as the date for the Special Primary Election.
=======================================
since the impeachment proceedures are being started? will it take 2 state police/US Marshalls to physically REMOVE him from office by force?

Assuming he is convicted by the Illinois Senate, sure.

Almost came to that in Arkansas when Jim Guy Tucker refused to quit over his Whitewater conviction a few years back. He backed down at the last minute...

Don't forget, Bill Clinton was impeached and he was allowed to stay in office. However, I think this guy will be the boot.

Re: SO HOW will Illinois get rid of Governor Blagojevich

Yes, Bill Clinton was impeached by the US House of Representatives, but was acquitted by the US Senate. That's why he remained in office. Do you really think that the Illinois Senate will acquit Blagojevich?
