VAST

I have used PCAnwhere for years for home and office. An old-standby but still reliable through several upgrades. Several folks in our office connect in with it. Both sides need to have the software to connect. Dialup and high speed connections supported and work well. FYI-On several occasions, our office has purchased full versions of the PC Anywhere software (remote and host) from westgatemedia.com at GREAT prices with fast shipping. -Samantha

110 groans my computer makes when I boot it up

Frances also slowed and eventually became stationary off the coast, battering Vero Beach with high winds and rain. Those of us in internal counties just sat here, waiting for a full extra day. The waiting is terrible. You just want it to come and go...get it over with. Jim I agree that the hurricane, though not on a path towards south/central florida anymore is unpredictable and could wobble or change directions. Until it makes landfall, the full west coast of Florida is at risk. -Samantha

Great postcard! Well, it appears that the central part of Florida is going to get a reprieve! And maybe the Keys won't get hit as hard as originally thought so Jim may not need to be in a bunker after all. Unfortunately, it seems the panhandle might get the brunt of this nasty wet thing. Sorry Steve! At least it has been downgraded a bit since Granada where it did so much damage. But there's a few days left..it could still change path yet again... -Samantha

GACK!!!! You may be able to meet IVAN up close and personal if you go there!!! Doesn't anyone in thier office see the news, watch the weather forecast??? And I know TCH-Kevin is in an area that may be affected by the storm. My thoughts and prayers stay with him and his family too. Alright guys and gals. Lets go for those crosswinds... on the count of 3: Take a deep breath and BLOW out with everything you've got! 1............2..............3 -Samantha

ROFL...... You folks crack me UP! Maybe if we blow on it enough it will be broken up by so many cross winds and NO ONE will get hit! GO AWAY IVAN....NO ONE WANTS YOU! Actually the 5pm posting looks like it will flirt with the west coast of the peninsula but make landfall in the crook around Taylor or Dixie counties, areas of Florida with less dense population. May Central Florida will FINALLY get a break. Praying, hoping, wishing and dreaming of a hurricane-free week ahead! The attached images came from one of the MANY slideshows on our local NewsCenter 2 Orlando NBC affiliate website. They have wonderful graphics and tracking... www.orlandoweather.com The second image is actually the conflicting storm tracks that are still in play. Hurricanes are still just a guessing game. -Samantha

We will be watching the track... It seems to be shifting slightly to the gulf side, but it's way too soon to tell... Hopefully it will be out far enough that the worst will be in open waters away from you. Still a chance that the peninsula will not get hit and landfall will take place in the panhandle or preferably in the crook of the state where it is less populated. Gonna try to find a better cooler to finally replace my 2 white styrofoam cheapies... Maybe my ice bags will last more than 24 hours then! -Samantha

Beth, in answer to your question: (And thanks for asking) She had power RIPPED from her home and had to have an electrician rewire the side of her house and give her a new meter. Her generator runs, but does not generate power. It is USELESS. She was more depressed when she tried to use it and it failed. Yesterday, thankfully, power came back to her street. Still has no TV (cable lines down and in her area can not recieve tv stations without cable or sattelite-antennas do not work), and had to have her AC repaired today..damaged by the power surge. As of this evening, she has computer and now has AC running and a hot shower so is feeling much better now after days without power. Amazing that she wasn't even in the direct PATH and still got hit. My brother is also fine. Didn't get ANY damage at his house, no debris or power outages. My family has been exceedingly lucky/blessed this year. None of us have incurred major damage. On the brite side... the county came around today and picked up the HUGE mounds of debris (didn't take anything in cans or bags) off the sides of the street!!! Thumbs Up YAY!!! Ivan will have to come up with his own toys to juggle and play catch with!!! woooot Jim, I am very concerned for you! I have been down there many times and know that even if you were in the center of Key West, you still would be under water if Ivan comes close to you! I visited your webpage and the property is lovely. Looks peaceful and relaxing. And in a hurricane...just dangerous! Please be safe. And check in when you can please! I didn't capture any hurricane wind. But I still have some smaller branches and twigs in the back yard....maybe I could put a label on them and sell them on ebay as authentic Frances and Charley debris. Naughty Around here, there's still a shortage on fuel and batteries. Coolers are impossible to find too. Yes, as the storm approaches, all the stores go empty of the basics, bread water, batteries, tuna, canned stuff of all sorts and pet food. People get pushy and grabby. It's a very strange time to do any shopping. Had to go to Walmart night before Charley hit. NEVER again! Walmart is packed on weekends but is nothing compared to the night before a hurricane! -Samantha

51 (the number of hurricanes attacking Florida this year???) woooot (One track mind lately!!!)
