Feb-25-08    meloncio: <WannaBe><And I always tend to expect things on the negative side...> Me too, so don't worry because it's a very common feeling. On the contrary my wife is very optimistic (sometimes too much...) so I feel relieved because she's very helpful to me in bad moments. I recommend to you the same therapy. :-) Feb-26-08    WannaBe: I survived the first month of Caissa Inc.!! Free Beer for everyone! On the <HOUSE>!!

Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080226/home... Get ready folks!! If <chopin> is still hanging around here, (He's an econ expert) he'll probably tell you that things will get <A LOT> worse, before they get better... And I'd agree with him! (One of the few times we've ever agreed. =) <NakoSonorese> also have some econ background, and I tell ya, the roller-coaster is going <DOWN>!!! On a side-note, had my taxes done by my tax-guy (Elderly gentleman, early sixties, maybe late fifties), he's been doing my personal tax returns (and soon, my bidness tax-returns) for the last 6 years, we talked about the current state of (California/U.S.) economy and over-all healthiness of things... Obviously, he knows more than I, when it comes to econ, and money, but we both agreed, we've (U.S.) been in recession for the last 6-10 month already, if not, we've been in recession for the whole past year!!! (Otherwise, the government would not be refunding money to the tax payers trying to kick-start the economy again!) The government and the news won't admit it, because it may cause a (minor) panic, but I tell ya, I see it with my bidness, and he sees it more than I do...

Firewall keeps blocking playchess.com- here is chessbase's response: Mar-01-08    positionalgenius: Dear chess friend, thanks for your mail. The playchess.com server is running fine, so please set up your firewall or proxy in a way that port 6002 on the proxy can run a TCP/IP connection to www.playchess.com The IP address often changes. You can easily find out the current IP of playchess.com by entering the "tracert playchess.com" in DOS mode. Mar-01-08    positionalgenius: <Wannabe> How do I open Port 6002 and what is a TCP/IP connection? Thanks in advance! Mar-01-08    WannaBe: <positionalgenius> How are you connecting? Http? If so, you can often do this: http://www.playchess.com:6002 and that should connect you to the specified port. If you leave out the :6002, it defaults to the 'industry standard'... I hope this helps. Mar-01-08    WannaBe: <Knight13> The stragy for white, is to have fun!! And possibly (most likely) lose! :-) Mar-01-08    Open Defence: < Knight13: <I am the inventor of the WannaBe Gambit: 1. e4 ... 2.
